Whats everyones 'views' on TV, my opinion is that it is now a tool of the elites to dumb us down and hypnotize us without even realizing it, some of the shows on television are an absolute insult to me. Notice that all shows aimed at teen etc are rich young partying people, instantly creating the illusion that should be the goal in life!

Jwalk , you normally talk guff , but on this one your so right , i myself can only watch the news and discovery , history channels , together with the internet , its just cringe-worthy what people watch , if their minds are not dumded down , i would be very supprised , i dont even like watching anything with commericals on , its hell , if it was not for the footie , i would not care for the tv at all , but i suppose i have always got LFC TV , which is good for watching the youth teams etc , sometimes i think i live on a different planet when people start to talk about the z- factor etc .............lfc

Like wise on the guff factor lfc, but glad we agree on something, there are larger things in the world then football and i dont think id be to paranoid to say that there is a larger more sinister agenda to 'the box' in the room! A true sheeple manufacturer, who the hell needs subliminal messages when people will eventually be singing to whatever tune is asked of them!
JWalk {Ed033's Note - I have heard rumours that within a few seconds of starting to watch the television, we are in an alpha wave brain state, which is the state where we are more easily programmed / more open to information being presented than the normal waking state of beta wave brain state.
In fact Alex Jones has stated that he knows for sure that monkeys in labs have been strapped into a chair where they are forced to watch television and their brains are hooked up to brain monitoring equipment in order to see how to get these monkeys into an alpha wave brain state as quickly as possible.}

Not sure about 'tool of the elite' etc etc
but I agree the standard of programmes on television is dire....and yet loads of people watch this tripe....Do they watch because they are programmed to do so or because of our education system?
ie they ain't got the wherewithal to take
in anything but this mush.
I am more inclined to think that it costs buttons to produce/present these endless gameshows etc and therefore makes more profit than producing something worthwhile (but expensive)

100% agree guys, 100 damn percent.
Think of it like this - society is in its death-throes because, IMO, the media has conditioned an entire generation to be lazy and greedy and has developed a 'something for nothing' culture.
Girls now idolise page 3 pinups and Essex lasses who's only claim to fame is they once had a drunken 1night stand with a Premiership footballer. This is now seen as a desirable lifestyle, and breeds a generation of young women who only need fake tan and tabloid gossip to survive and be happy.
Every morning I see a group of Hudds Town trainees setting off to the trials / boot camp. All they talk about is 'getting laid' - lads don't even want to play football now out of a passion for the sport.....they just want the mega-riches and loose women that come with it.
Reality TV is one of the biggest causes of society's state today. It taught a generation of impressionable people that they too could be rich and famous AT ANY COST.
In other words - if you want something, take it, don't worry about the consequences as you yourself are entitled to EVERYTHING. Don't worry about working hard for fame or success, take the shortcut - screw people over, hurt people, lie, cheat and sell every second of it to a gutter tabloid.
There is no ambition in this country anymore and reality TV is one of the main factors. These uneducated, directionless kids lazing on a couch watching another uneducated, directionless person performing a sexual act on a third uneducated, directionless moron.........and earning good money for it.

Superb post from Red_Sky.
Although i confess i do watch essex so i ca keep up with the kids at work.
Shocking i know, i do watch what quality i can. if none of you have seen it and don't mind subtitles, or even speak French, then i'd recommend Engrenages, or as its known in the UK, Spiral. Its a French police/ legal drama. Very good quality, not afraid to show the dark side of the legal system and you hardly ever see the inside of a lab. very good tv. Or maybe try the dnaish tv show the killing.

Im glad that other people agree with me, some excellent posts, when younger i was a big fan of reading various books, though after a while i had put down the books and mainly watched tv, till i eventually 'woke up' and realised the amount of s**t that was entering my brain and seeing a pattern of the sort of programs aimed at specific audiences, your essex sluts and ermmmm geordie sluts etc i dont think its by chance that a vast amount of shows all have the same aim and 'morals'! s**t is very wrong at the moment and 'poisoning' future generations, just have a look at school results compared to lesser countries. quite scary.

Agree with most posts. TV is BS, the only thing I watch is Liverpool FC, the rugby and the odd tennis match.
I don't understand the reasoning for why people watch crap like X factor, Britain's got talent etc. Why not educate ourselves by reading a good book instead? Or go OUTSIDE!!
