The Writer’s Strike

Am I the only one who is THRILLED about the television writer’s strike? I mean, who FUCKING cares about Lost, soap operas, American Idol, god I don’t even know what’s on TV these days - 30 Rock? ummm, Psych? ER? Is Three’s Company still running?
Look, if you watch TV, your IQ points go down one point every 10 minutes. I can only hope TV dwindles down to flashing patterns, and people start reading out loud to each other or fucking or filing their nails or ANYTHING more productive than zoning out in front of the noise box.
These writers need to stop writing for TV and write some erotica or dwarf fantasy shit or something. Hell, it worked for Tolkien, right?
FUCK.

You have never been watching The West Wing? People constantly talking for 42 minutes and saying things which need at least 110 IQ points to understand and another 10-15 if they are referring to something that happened 20 episodes before and You have to understand how things work and try to follow the plot?
OK. This is rare and the show has ended few years ago.
But Californication, House MD and Dexter are fun to watch aswell. Not many IQ points needed to watch them, but 2 hours of TV a week is not that much. Especially when You read books for at least 10 hours a week.

“Look, if you watch TV, your IQ points go down one point every 10 minutes.”
My status as the smartest person alive on the planet today disproves that theory.

TV is like porn for the unread, uptight masses.
