"Absorbed in it's world it's so hard to find us
It shapes our minds the most;
maybe the mother of our Nation
should remind us
that we're sitting to close to. . .

Television, the drug of the Nation
Breeding ignorance and feeding radiation." -Michael Franti

Smash one in a den or living room near you, today! It's cathartic, reduces energy consumption, and drastically mitigates malignant ignorance worldwide!

Hmmm?? From the way you penned yer poll it looked like you were going to let the votes decide and set it up admin-styley....i assssumed-

So why not assign me the task? I don't have a channel anymore. I can't even tweak the wildwestshow (which no one wants and which I gave up to the collective before starting the jazz channel....which i gave up to start the Videodrome channel.
I could call it VideoDRONE (the constant feed)-Just kiddin' man, I don't want a channel, but it would be nice to have it soonish-I really don't think it matters much if people can vote on the feeds either...that aspect of it is an issue for some folks (but not too much an issue) and it would be a shame to take away the 300 or so votes from burdturg, who has posted several now and done pretty well vote-wize with em'.

Yeah, we're probably going to need a channel for *stream - it does seem to be the new new thing. Maybe someone with a fresh ruby will step up.

Hey Dagmar-How are you going to set up the streaming channel? Now that there are soooooo many
http://streamingepisodes.com/

I don't know how many are embeddable, but, DAIM!-I wasted a few hrs watching old Star Treks I had never seen before, and a few with all the great alien chicks that gave me wood back in he day....

I only hope that internet content sticks to the very amenable, unspoken rule of only 1 commercial every 15 mins or so...I can see it getting thick with adverts though, as thick as television, the drug of the nation..

(by the way, thanks again for the charter-I been thinking of getting someone here on the site one, with a similar contest.)

Our own Choggie Kendall, leading the charge with a little social commentary.

You can tell he's not totally batshit insane, if he was the following would be single-spaced...

"T.V., it
satellite links
our United States of Unconsciousness
Apathetic therapeutic and extremely addictive
The methadone metronome pumping out
150 channels 24 hours a day
you can flip through all of them
and still there's nothing worth watching"

-Television: The Drug of The Nation

To all the local and national twits who call themselves purveyors of information, journalists, and any other such felicitous and inappropriate moniker used to describe their bile. Get a REAL job, assholes!!!"

Putties and their willing familiars, getting the job done, according to their regularly, programmed, schedule....

..."Breeeeeding Ignorance, and Feeeeding Radiation.."

It is pretty cool. As for all the promotes, what can I say - I like your posts!

In reply to this comment by wazant:
Wow! Another promote from Jonny! I must owe you like 10 stars by now...

I think that was my very first attempted sift. Always wondered why it never made it, since I think it's quite cool.

CFR Candidate propaganda, and fekkin' mind-numbingly dull......Rhetorica Politica-

"absorbed in its world it's so hard to find us

T.V. is the stomping ground
for political candidates
where bears in the woods
are chased by grecian formula'd bald eagles
T.V. is mechanized politic's
remote control over the masses
co-sponsored by enironmentally safe gases
watch for the PBS special
it's the perpetuation of the two-party system
where image takes precedence over wisdom
where sound bite politics are served
to the fastfood culture
where straight teeth in your mouth
are more important than the words
that come out of it
race baiting is the way to get elected
Willie Horton or will he not get elected on...the goddamn tv

"Since we're in the initial, formative hours of the creation of the channel, I'll submit to the community whether nearly pure commentary from the mouths of pundits should be part of the "news" channel."

It's your soapbox, dude....
