The grip of the award shows on the minds of Americans.

::::::::

Now that we’re smack dab in the middle of award season, let’s reflect for a moment on what all these award shows are about.

Well, gee whiz, they’re about MONEY! What a surprise!

That’s right folks, the award shows, everyone of them, costs virtually nothing to produce, and millions of people tune in to watch the stars glad hand and back slap one another.

But let’s face it, while millions of us sit there in darkened rooms while the blue tint of the television screen baths us in the ethereal light of Hollywood and the sponsors cough up millions of dollars to participate in the high profile events, the award shows are nothing more than enormous public relations tour de forces that keep Hollywood and all its minions frozen for eternity in the vast spaces of our vacant and vapid minds.

The American television audience.

It is a creation of manipulation that boggles the imagination.

Stuffing our faces with food, gazing in a near-comatose state at the slim, trim, Beautiful People whose blazing smiles and piercing eyes give meaning to our drab pointless lives, we get ever fatter, ever dumber and ever more programmed as the remote becomes our key to eternal bliss.

And then we wonder why Americans are so dumb and so fat!
