1. Opiate for the masses since the 1950's. Therby rendering them unfit both physically and mentally for any form of revolution. Rolling over on the sofa does not count as a revolution.

2. Very effective brainwashing machine.

Please repeat after me:
"I believe in television.
I believe that the TV news are true.
I believe that soap operas are true."

television

Once envisioned to be the replacement for books and a useful educational tool. Now it is simply a useful method for the government to send subliminal messages and propganda to the masses, and for businesspeople to brainwash said masses into buting their low-quality products.

And it is quite surprising and scary that there are millions of people out there who ACTUALLY buy the products aired on late-night television commercials.
