Don't Hate the Media!
Here we are at the gates of the great and powerful Oz, and we have come
for your children!
We are the real Politically Incorrect. Our lives are not Charmed, we
work for a living. When was the last time you admitted we even exist?
Rossanne? Taxi? Sanford and Son? ..
.. Ah, Jerry Springer.
Our kids are not GAP kids. Our young people are not Teenage Witches, nor
are they Clueless to the fact that they neither have nor want anything
in common with Dawson's Creek, Popular, or spoiled white rich babies -
90210.
We see no difference between Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Ronald
McDonald. We will not knuckle under to your devious children's
programming, who's soul message is to buy ever more officially over
priced merchandise and toys. And the relentless branding of little kids,
to the point where they're teased and austresized at school cuz the logo
on their shirt don't match the logo on their shoes. Or, worse yet, their
moms' can't afford those expensive Tommy brand-name clothes in the first
place.
And we will not let Campbell's Soup, Old Navy, Mtv, or anyone else
hammer into the minds of girls as young as six years old that they
should always hate their bodies and always be on a diet.
The people own the air waves. Remember?
The Life Styles Of The Rich and Famous can kiss our ass.
We have nothing in common with Mad About You, bulimic Barbie doll pop
stars, or those nauseating yuppies on Friends.
Our Friends have never seen the inside of a Manhattan apartment that
big, have you?
Our lives are less likely to be Touched By An Angel than, by a thirty
day eviction notice from landlords so greedy they should be lynched.
Bulldozing us from the cities we give life to in the first place, so
more dot com cowboys can seize our homes and go around spittin' money in
everyone else's face.
We don't care who wins on Survivor,
We care about Surviving.
Corporate sponsored
Global warming.
And an ozone turned into swiss cheese that you won't even admit is a
problem.
We don't care who's fucking whom on Malrose's Place or even in The West
Wing. We know the real scandals include; four outta five Americans
deliberately locked out of your mirage of an economic boom.
As Michael Franti put it, "I don't care who they're screwin' in private.
I wanna know who they're screwin' in public."
E.R..
Chicago Hope.
Gosh, I'm so touched.
What about all the people turned away from real E.R.s, and can't see a
doctor at all cuz they can't afford any insurance?
We know Real World is not the Real World!
I recently met a women named Irean McGee, who quit this show and said,
"not even the house was Real." The fridges were all filled to the brim
with Valasic pickles delivered daily by the crate load along with
gallons of Nantucket Nector. If she drank anything else, the crew took
it from her hand and made sure the Nantucket Nector label was facing the
camera instead. When she walked out, another guy (in the cast of Real
World) hit her. And the camera crew did nothing.
'Who cares if she's in danger?'
'We're out-scooping Jerry Springer!'
When she spoke-out, Mtv sued her. And Entertainment Weekly rated Irean
getting smash mouthed the forty seventh most interesting event on t.v.
that whole year.
C'mon, Limptv. As far as I'm concerned Beavis and Butthead and Dora are
the only good things you ever did. But can't you think of a better way
to raise audience awareness of domestic violence than to make it look
cool?
Home Improvement!
How about it?
Throw the t.v. ..
.. out the window!
No...
Not quite.
We don't hate the media, we've become the media.
What responsible use of the internet, pyrite radio, and micro-power,
punk and hip-hop nation, independent music publishing, film, and now,
television have accomplished so far is only the tip of the ice berg.
Or is it a mushroom cloud?
More and more often the Camcorder Truth Jihad will catch you beating
innocent people for marching peacefully or driving while black.
Illuminate your blow-jobs!
Not from interns, but from money bags!
They make cameras as small as grasshoppers now. And they will slip
inside your prisons, toxic dumps and sweat-shops, all the way up to your
boardrooms. We will bring people together against your whole
motherfuckin' agenda because you have given Earth's life forms nowhere
else to go.
Giving a damn about the world around us and doing something about it is
not an Anti Grode Show.
We demand fair and more accurate balanced news coverage. Real people
with real lives in your dramas and on your talk shows. And if we don't
get it, ...
*heh.. heh.. heh..*
.. ,we'll make it ourselves!!
We know we can do better than you. And as King George Dubya Bush the
second once said, "we will, as the World Turns our Guiding Light will be
to take back and improve the Days Of Our Lives, knowing each One Life to
Live matters."
Welcome to our Spin City.
Little Homeless Shelter on the Prairie.
Survivor; where contestants try to feed their families on a skin flint
Bush-Cheney welfare check. Mary Tyler Moore stuck in endless dead-end
temp jobs with no time off or benefits at all.
We got all kinds of cures for your sitcoms, so boring that they're not
even funny any more.
And Letterman's very existence, and Third product placement From The
Sun.
We'll exile Collin Powell to the Munsters! George C. Ashcroft and Saddam
Hussein are the new cast of Green Acres! E.R. goes to Somalia while Bay
Watch goes to Burma!
Oprah models swimsuits on location at super-fund sights.
You give us the World's Wildest Police Chases. We'll give you the
World's Wildest Police Brutality Cases!
Nash Bridges finally busts Willie Brown!
Cigarette Man in the X Files turns out to be Dian Feinstein! And, behind
the scenes, the cause of it all, is Paul from the Diamond Center!!
Our idea of the World's Funniest home videos is the Fortune Five Hundred
sinking into the sea! You push game shows called Greed and Who Wants to
be a Millionaire.
How about Who Wants to Jail a Millionaire?!
Storm the gates of the bestial of the wonderful world of Disney. The
vampire we are out to slay is you!
Turn AOL Time Warner over to Ad Busters! Hand the reins of CNN to me!
Replace Rupert Murdock with Marilyn Manson!
We are every where and we won't go away!
We will not go quietly and shut up and shop. We will boycott you and
boycott your sponsors, sabotage them at work, and raise our kids
unafraid to show that they're smart enough to see through the pop junk
you puke out.
Not an icon to stir them.
Not even Mickey Mouse.
Earth: The Final Conflict.
Corporations vs. life itself, and Time is running out. But we're not
running, are we?
To the Hilton! Where the national association of lousy broadcasters is
trashing Marconi's name by giving out Marconi awards as we speak!
Charge!!
