> [@Askia](#): > > Thursday used to be “Must See TV on NBC.” Hah? Remember that? TV? _TV_? You watch TV? Don’t you know that TV is directly responsible for every social problem of the last 50 years? No, of course you wouldn’t. You’re too ignorant and steeped in violence by all your TV-watching to have an actual thought like that. I’ve _never_ owned a TV, and it makes me a better person than all of you who have TV’s. ---

Don’t you know that Driving While Cell Phoning causes more car accidents than drunk driving? I’m sure you don’t care. You have a big honkin’ SUV, so you’ll be OK when you crash into a Geo Metro and kill the family in it. They must be too poor to buy an SUV, so you’re doing the country a favor by driving down the poverty rate when you kill them. ---

You’re glad 9/11 happened, aren’t you, terrorist? I see that you are one of the astute few who recognize the true dangers of oxygen; my congratulations! Fortunately, I can help you protect yourself from this deadly gas. Here, just put this plastic bag over your head and you will never again be exposed to oxygen’s toxic fumes.
