This Is Your Brain On Entertainment

There used to be an effective margin of adults who turned elections in the United States and even Britain who understood that there are things more important and desirable than being entertained by mentally deficient clowns.  TV and movies and light novels has whittled down that margin into ineffectiveness to the detriment of government of, by and most of all FOR The People.   Interestingly enough, that was demonstrated well by John Oliver talking on a comedy program on a comedy channel on cable TV about the mentally retarded Etonian who is now the BM of a PM of Britain.

 

Any questions?

Clearly humor has not saved Britain from the Tory fascists any more than it has saved the U.S. from Republican fascists.  The belief that comedy defeats fascism is incredibly well disproved in history and people continuing to believe it does proves that we're on the way to that same level of stupidity.

Update:  John Oliver's Last Week Tonight began  on April 27, 2014.  Two years before the United States got Trump, five years before the UK (where it is also shown) got Boris Johnson out of an election that gave it Teresa May.   John Oliver worked for a long while on The Daily Show, which premiered when Bill Clinton was in office, the excellent comedian Jon Stewart taking over the show in 1999.   Clearly, if the excellent comedic talent of John Oliver and Jon S.  (not to mention Colbert, Bee, etc.)  was going to save us it would have worked by now. 

You would have to be as TVily retarded as a Simels or a Trump to still be holding the candle for the salvific power of comedy, even excellent comedy.   It doesn't even seem to help in that the evil we get now is ever so much worse than the evil we got before the Comedy Channel started up. 

Update 2:  So, that only shows that Duncan's audience has more than its share of mentally deficient liars who lie about what I said and others who aren't much bothered by their presence.  I've been pointing that out for almost seven years, now.   Duncan didn't live up to the promise that the owner of Media Whores Online saw in him but that was a long, long time ago, too. 

Update 3:  He's so stupid that he doesn't realize he's both claiming that comedy is going to save us from fascism and that it's not going to save us from fascism and he's been rendered so stupid from a lifetime of TV and pop kulcha that he doesn't understand that both of them can't be true.  See what I was saying about how integrity dissolves under a regime of materialism, vulgar as much so if not more so than academic varieties of it.
