Like most Americans, when I’m forced to flip on the television I watch just two things – sports and commercials. When I tune in to sports I learn about kids’ games with impossibly complicated rules and what the world looks like from a blimp and how millionaires behave when they take various forms of speed. And when I see the commercials I learn the nuances of modern society and how the power of suggestion can trick tiny human brains and that the engine of American commerce is generally fueled by, well, stupidity.
