Sigh ... I love television so much that I cried more when John Ritter died and Scrubs dedicated a show to him than when my own grandmother died.  Granted she was the devil, but still ... you get the picture.

Television is the greatest thing in the world.  And it pisses me off greatly when I read articles or watch news programs, where these so called psychologists come on, and pontificate about how television is ruining society, and how it makes kids violent and fat and whatever else.

Shut the fuck up you morons.  Television doesn't do a damn thing other than entertain.  You want to know what makes kids violent?  It's watching their abusive father's punch their mothers in the face, or any other such violent assholes in their actual lives, that teach their young minds to deal with life through violence.  Television doesn't do that.  Television can't teach your kids anything, unless you've sat on your ass all their lives and did nothing to teach them right from wrong.

I was taught right from wrong growing up, so I had the intelligence enough to know that what I see on television, isn't fucking real.  Jennifer Garner kicking ass on Alias isn't real.  Jack Bauer torturing people every week on 24 isn't real.  I know that, and any child with parents who take the least bit of interest in their lives knows that as well.

So if I grew up to be a violent little fuck then you know what?  It's not television's fault ... it's not the fault of Tony Soprano, it's the fault of the dumb fucks who raised me without teaching me the difference between right and wrong.  Or in extreme cases ... I'm just fucking evil.  Because let's face it.  Some children are.

And don't blame television for your fat children either.  You're the adult.  It's your TV.  Kick their little asses to the gym or the park.  But don't blame television for you not being able to control your kids and tell them what to do.

I grew up in the Bart Simpson generation, but I certainly didn't think myself foolish enough to tell my father to "eat my shorts."  Any smug little comment like that would have gotten a backhand and trust me, I wouldn't have used it again in the future.

So shut the hell up you stupid fucks who are always looking for someone to blame for your shitty parenting.  Stop expecting television to do your job for you.

So in closing ... Television rules!
