The Media Is the Message

IN AMERICA is a thing called "professional sports", in which athletes get paid  a great deal of money to entertain the american people. above all else, the american people crave entertainment, a way of escaping from the stark realities of the often nightmarish society they have created.   for this entertainment we americans are willing to spend much of our personal wealth, so dearly do we crave it, so desperately do we feel we want it, need it.

our corporate overlords are more than willing, ready, and able to supply us with the drug we crave, for a hefty price.

a very young very successful tntertainer/athlete was asked by a member of the media "do you want to drink a beer after your great game"?  the very young very wealthy entertainer/ athlete replied "that's a clown question, bro"... he replied so rapidly, and so cleverly that the reply went "viral", our modern clever way of describing popularity.

advice to bryce harper of the washington nationals baseball team: be careful what you say to the media, clever or not. the media, and the public, have the power to make you, or break you.

the american people have been programmed by their corporate masters to blame the news media for everything, to shoot the messenger boy. ironic, since the media is the propaganda dispensing vehicle for the corporate state. we americans love the mindless entertainment the media spoon feeds us, and we pretend to hate the media, as if it responsible for the nightmares we create. how quaint.

very young successful entertainer/athletes ought to be carfeul about being too clever with members of the media. sometimes your clever responses go viral, sometimes they get you into trouble with your adoring well paying public.

in america, we all want to be popular (famous), and we all want to be successful (wealthy). we have a much better chance of doing this if we can please the public, and the best way to do this is to become an entertainer, and to use the media - wisely.
