It was Marks who said religion is the opiate of the masses so does that make TV the an electric lobotomy for them, I’m not lumping educational TV in with this but shows like the X factor and a lot of the soaps, what gets me is I end up watching X factor by order of the mini me war office i.e. my daughter and I don’t even complain in fact I watched the whole thing last night!, what does worry me is I keep getting the urge to go and get a shell suit and a tattoo and a perm, I’ve even got the urge to get a Staffordshire bull terrier and call it Adolph!, is this normal u know wot I mean!, oh me god my vocabulary is also going NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!, init?.

    ..........and I read Jane Austen and Gene Stratton-Porter (I comfort read), never watch telly and rarely read a paper.
    OH loves all the soaps, and the Star Trek thingy, reads his paper avidly and is glued to about 3 different news bulletins a day all telling the same doom and gloom.
    Neither of us has to do what the other is doing..................and anyway, along with Rehab, I can't see it matters a damn!

    In full, translated from the original German: "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people."

    This is probably the best-known quotation by Karl Marx, the German economist and Communist political philosopher, taken from a Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, 1843.

    As someone said recently, "Television is the new opium of the masses". Has this been replaced by the Internet or soon to be more common Media Centre? Deconstruction on a postcard, erm sorry, Facebook page.

    Oh how simple it would be rehab but I have no control over the remote and like I said in me post I now find myself watching it!, and in the great scheme of things yes it matters as I think the human species is diverging into at least two sub groups as your mate fat Kev said a few weeks back and one of em has activated the dorment neanderthal gene.
    Mind you there is a really big concern with all of this, and that’s this, we humans have been transmitting RF signals for around 60 odd years, now that’s time enough for those signals to leak into deep space far enough to reach our local galactic neighbours so if just if an alien space craft was passing somewhere within this 50 light year area and they just happen to be listening in they will be able to direction find us, so if their capable of intergalactic space travel and they pick up the rubbish pumped out these day’s we could well be in the pooh, I mean what conclusions would you come to!?. And if they were that advanced they would probably have as much regard for our welfare as a drunk has for a kebab!, who was said speak softly and carry a big stick was it Roosevelt??, anyway today crop circles tomorrow total world domination and it’s good night to all of us, and don’t try and tell me different mate I’ve seen far to many sci fi films trust me their out there Mel Gibson knows just ask him, just remember this, swing away Merrill it’s very important!.

    Hmm, interesting thought.

    The days of these unintentional broadcasts, started all those years ago by Marconi, may be numbered. New technology, in the form of low-power digital broadcasting and directional satellite transmissions, may result in our neighbours suddenly seeing the signals stop. Were this to happen, it may seem to them that some sort of disaster had befallen the Earth.

    But spare a thought for the beleaguered inhabitants of a planet near the star 47 Ursa Majoris. Not only has it been sent two METI, (Messaging to Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) signals, but it was also the target of the first interstellar commercial on 12 June, 2008, when an advertisement for Doritos tortilla chips was zapped at it by a radar array at the EISCAT European space station.

    If that doesn't keep them away nothing will.

    "Swing away Merrill. Merrill... swing away" is a quote from the film Signs, 2002. Stars, Mel Gibson.

    A family living on a farm finds mysterious crop circles in their fields which suggests something more frightening to come.

    In the film Merrill was a baseball player who would just swing at every ball that was thrown at him, which meant that he held the strikeout record. If he didn't swing at everything he would not have had so many misses.
