Fuck the Box
August 21st, 2007Gotta check out the show EC talks about. Meantime, though, I back-pedal: I’m no TV junkie and, lame as it sounds, I get a kick out of some reality shows because I find that ‘natural’ bullshit fascinating. I tend to think it’s an offshoot of the camcorder generation - all those kids grew up being videoed by mom and dad, so there’s this element of ‘reality’ programming practically built into them. They learned early how to both seem to go about their business while simultaneously performing.
If anything, I’m a commercial junkie. They’re like Italian restaurants; when they’re good, they’re very good. When they’re bad, they suck beyond measure. Current favorite is for (I think) that gum that begins with an ‘E’. You know, when they pop it into their mouths, funky music plays, and the chewer gets down wherever he happens to be. In this brilliant one, the young dude is in line for airport security checkpoint. Puts gum in mouth. Music plays. And, in a spin on how you have to take so much off before going through the detector, he does a wild striptease. Now, that’s good advertising.
