i really cannot comprehend how the rest of you troglodytes don't manage to choke on the spit bubbles that form when you mouth breathe.

now, off for some tofu sushi!

7. that is my defining cause
i seriously think it should be a federal crime to reveal details about consumer entertainment products on advertising delivery channels like television and the internet.

when people reveal spoilers i actually become sick like i have a systemic viral infection coupled with a complete emotional breakdown.

that's how seriously i take this.

21. Yeah, but is it free range tofu?
Edited on Sun Jul-20-08 04:20 PM by trof
The life of factory raised tofu is abominable.

22. it's cruelty free
the monks use ancient wisdom to convince the tofu that being eaten fits into the divine plan.

9. You're an
arrogant git, aren't you.
No problem with your choices, but your smug contempt for all of us tube watchers is pathetic.

10. no just gloriously enlightened
advertisers can't count on me to help them forecast their mindshare projections for the quarter.

i leave that to the rest of befuddled, blind humanity.

i'm the guy sitting outside of the platonic cave looking at real horses while the rest of you look at shadows of crudely drawn ones.

11. I win
I watch TV but set it to skip commercials so I get the fruits of the advertisers dollars without having to suffer their swill.

19. i just assumed that some hollywood imagineer created that vision
because it doesn't occur naturally in nature.

i assumed it served some commercial entertainment purpose.

i cannot contextualize it further than this.

29. I am not so weak minded
that I can't watch an entertaining show on TV or movie without being swayed by some silly ad. Obviously you are so intimitated by Madison Avenue that you sit in the dark for fear their machinations will drive you to some horrible purchase.

23. i don't spend money on movies
because hollywood imagineers make the same shit over and over and over and tell me it's scheisse instead of just plain old american shit.

the last time i went to the movies was in the 70s during the last golden age of filmmaking.

modern movies are mere advertising delivery channels, product placement vehicles, and lifestyle narrative creation myths.

24. I've just strapped a 105" plasma TV...
...to the top of my Hummer, and I power it using a generator that runs on baby seal oil. I drive around all day, showing videos of people being knocked off their bicycles by big trucks. Why? Because I can! America! Woo! Yeah!

So I guess that makes you my nemesis, bucko!
