television dumbs us down

1. I am gross and perverted

I’m obsessed and deranged
I have existed for years
But very little had changed
I am the tool of the government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you

I may be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think I’m delicious
With the stuff that I say
I am the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I am the slime oozin’ out
From your TV set

You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t go for help, no one will heed you
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold

That’s right, folks
Don’t touch that dial
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your living room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, look at me go

Frank Zappa - Overnight Sensation - I'm The Slime

Frank saw it a looooooong time ago.

3. Kind of ironic too

that the song is from what was probably the most commercial album Frank ever made. The first verse is downright scary.

4. I'm Freakin Out !

I'm listening to the Malloy Archive from last night, and they just used this song as the bumper to the commercial break. It's in the last half hour of the show.

Weird

2. When Newton Minow spoke about a "vast wasteland".......

he probably never thought it would apply to the White House
