The Idiot Box.

Facetious descriptions?

My take on the shows I watch:

  • Invasion:

    A show written by a bunch of people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. Fired.

  • Prison Break:

    Prison Break is the kind of story you get from a group of 10 or 12-year olds. Kid A, “Yeah, let’s have him drill a hole in the wall with an egg beater! I mean, he is super smart and knows how to do things like that!” Kid B, “Okay! And then…”

    NOTE: I enjoy Prison Break.

  • Battlestar Galactica:

    Donatien Alphonse François, marquis de Sade. “Oh, you are attached to that character emotionally? Well, how do you like it when we destroy the character’s life? Does it hurt? Are you going to watch next week? Of course you are. You know you like it.”

  • LOST:

    LOST is that hot chick next door who never puts out. You know, she calls you up and says, “Look out your window,” and proceeds to do a little strip tease act all for you. So you, being a guy, figure you should try to go over and score. Alas, you arrive at her door and she is wearing a granny dress. “Hi. What are you doing here,” she asks. Total tease. PUT OUT YOU BITCH!

  • 24:

    Imagine travelling across the U.S. in a VW Beetle being driven at break-neck speeds by a drunk Kimi Matias Räikkönen (F1 driver). From the back seat Hunter S. Thompson, Robert Anton Wilson, and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. tell you a story. The trip will change your life.

    If you live.

Now, GO WATCH TV!
