Vanity: Several Disturbing Things I've Noticed About Television
N/A | N/A | Myself

Promoting a Culture of Death

I've noticed, over the past year or two, that numerous fictional dramas, especially cop/crime shows, use one of the following words, as the last word you hear, just before going to the commercials: dead, death, killed, killer, murder, murdered; basically any word related to death. And it's not limited to crime dramas. I've seen it done in sitcoms, comedic romantic movies; the phenomenon is across the board.

It is so prevelant that there is no way it is coincidental. As the saying goes; "Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, and three times is enemy action."

Just one hour ago I was watching the opening scene of "an all new episode" of "CSI: NY", of which opening scene ended with Gary Sinese saying, as his last word; "Death"; then a commercial break.

Counter-Programming Against Christianity

I've also noticed, when I read the TV listings on Sundays, a plethora of Satanic-oriented movies. Not on Monday through Saturday, but specifically, and pointedly, on Sunday. Coincidence? I don't think so. Check it out for yourself next Sunday.

Hidden References to "666" in Commercials

There used to be a CapitalOne commercial that showed three chimps sitting at a long table, and behind the chimps were three wall clocks; each showing the time of six o'clock straight up. 666.

Then there was the McDonald's commercial about their "meal deal" for $2.22. The numbers 2.22 appear in the commercial three times; 222 times three equals 666.

Here's the deal, according to one web site writer, these advertisers are of the opinion that if they incorporate Satanic symbolism, i.e., "666", into their TV commercials, their business endeavors will prosper.

What's With All the Prescription Drug Commercials?"

When did this crap start? 1999? 2000?

What the hell is going on? It seems like four out of five TV commercials are about prescription drugs, "just ask your doctor about" [them]; with really scary and creepy side effects.

Off the top of my head, here's my cumulative memory of the side effects of the "TV Drugs": heart attack, brain tumor, ovarian tumor, explosive diarhhea, diabetes, liver failure, blindness, seizures, colon cancer, naseau, bloating, gas, nervous disorder, hair loss, hearing loss, etc., ad nasuem; and oh, my favorite, "an urgent and frequent need to have an 'explosive bowel movement', and a complete inability to control it".

Yeah, "sign me up" for that drug.

Handk, find and read "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television" it is a fascinating read. In the meantime don't sit too close to your set, now that they know you are a dissenter they will try and reprogram you through your TV (especially if you have HiDef, or as we call it - HiDeath). We avoid this (reprogramming) by watching the telly through a cresent moon shaped pinhole in a 3' x 3' sheet of heavy duty foil. Good Luck.

THe three-hit theory is a well know principle in marketing. If you want your lab rat to understand the point you are trying to make, say it 3 times in the span f the commercial. This is mere coincidence.

In general, your post is interesting, but I would like to see lots more evidence before I would put this one past the weka hypothesis stage.

I refer to television as the "one eyed god" and deliberately cut down my intake of it. (down to one show a week--24)

Seriously though, I don't remember from when I watched TV on a daily basis in the early 90's a bunch of ads for presciption drugs--nothing like the sampling I have seen recently--which leads me to a personal tin-foil hat theory: The drugs are to treat a "made-up" or hypochondriacs condition. A condition that may actually exist but isn't common enough to sell a lot of the drug--so they make this commercial to "suggest" to viewers who are perhaps more suggestible that they may have something wrong with them..and Surprise! A new health disorder takes wings!

Just an aside--on the one-eyed god thingy--next time you sit down down to "worship" think about the "shrine" you have erected to your television...entertainment center with glass doors? entertainment armoire? Central to your living room or den wall? think about it :-) btw not criticizing ANYONE I am just as guilty.

Perhaps it's time to leave the house and get a little sunshine?

and don't forget to put on sunblock, at least SPF 50!

You mean you have a two-eyed computer screen? Where do I buy one? That's sounds cool. Just joking around...I agree with you assertions.

Why don't you pull the plug and get outside and take a walk?

Well, I'd just like to thank you for starting my day off with a silly vanity post. It's always nice to find one early in the day. So thanks a million!

A German Shepherd Puppy May Be Just What Your Family Needs!

German Shepherd puppy can become a very welcome member of your household. German Shepherd puppies bond with the family, and you will never have a truer friend. They are very tolerant of little children and make ideal family pets.
