Media Junk

Compare the Beatles, indisputably the greatest band known to mankind, to any shithole band that we have now. Like Falloutboy, or Simple Plan.




Compare 2pac, the most phenomenal rapper in history, to any hiphop-posers we have now. Like Lil' Wayne, or 50 cent.




Compare Tom Hanks, one of the best actors that I've seen, to the pretty faced good for nothing actors we have now. Like Megan Fox, or the Olsen twins.




What the hell is going on in the entertainment world nowadays? Why are we so blindly, indiscriminately and voraciously seeping in all these garbage they send out from MTV? And yet some of us seem to ENJOY this process. The end-products of a can't-be-bothered apathetic entertainer or producer. It's precisely because we are so magnanimous and accepting of such atrocities that they continue unabated.




Why do people head bang to mindless repetition of lyrics of Soulja Boy, waste their time watching New York Minute (many for the tiny bit of "shower scene")? Is it sheer bad taste or is it because we are just so saturated and intoxicated in the media junk that we are unaware of its heinousness?




But alas, at the same time, it's not all bad. We're not set out for doom yet. There's still this tiny glimpse of hope in today's entertainment biz.




There's Eminem to replace 2pac, probably one of the greatest lyricist ever lived.




There's Jason Mraz to strum his guitar making beautiful melodies much akin to those of the Beatles.




There's Shia Lebouf, also known as the young Tom Hanks, whose acting is quite commendable IMO.




Just hoping more of these come along soon.
