Thought Experiment
America today.
* The average household owns 3 television sets. Which means one in every living room.
* All living room furniture, unless you live in a mansion, is angled towards the television set.
* Your television (approx. all 3 of them) receives electromagnetic waves, broadcast at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second), which are displayed via cathode ray tubes (or light-emitting diodes or ionized gas) as moving pictures; 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
* You spend approximately 10 hours a day consuming junk food and gazing into the television. While watching TV, your brain enters the alpha state of consciousness, in which it works no harder than if it were asleep.
* During this time, your brain, reduced to alpha-consciousness, is bombarded with rapid-fire television imagry laced with suggestive themes and flashy visuals designed to attack and infiltrate not only your mind but your emotions, as well. Why else would women cry during a Tampax commercial?
* Millions upon millions of dollars are poured into ad campaigns, spear-headed by psychologists who know more about yourself than you do. These ad campaigns take the form of TV commercials, and, yes, even sitcoms.
* Millions upon millions of Americans tune in every night to watch insipid and uninspired "reality" shows. They also watch neat, cool shows like CSI, BSG, uhm... and channels like TDC and THC (heheheheheheh!!!!!!).
* People believe anything on TV.
Thus... I can take control of a substantial population of the United States via television. I only need funding.
Maybe I can get this new chick to dig me...

A gigantic vagina. That's the only thing I can imagine would warrant, nay, demand our attention (as males).
