Are you Generic?


Are you generic? Ordering a T-shirt online makes you special!

Lawrence warned us. Warned me...
But I ended up...well, working for The Machines. Yes, I'm in media production.

Is that so evil? People make jokes about lawyers...but not about those under the ooooo glamorous bright lights of the media world....right?

WRONG.
SUPER WRONG.

If you're a Jon Stewart dailyshow fan like me, you would've had a field day pointing out our lameness recently, with that sharp acerbic political perspective of yours.

The power of blogging for instance has given everyone a perfect postmodernist platform to bash the deceptive, devious bastards that bring you trash.

Ermz...thing is, as much as I would love to be on the gravy train that is the MSM (money sucking machine...i mean, Mainstream Media), I am really just a floating, drifting, young lad who is freelancing while waiting for his college graduation ceremony post-summer, August '05.

So using "us" and "our" earlier, when I spoke of the mainstream media was pretty inaccurate. But inaccuracy and the discovery of inaccuracies, are pretty trendy these days.

And well, "pretty.inaccurate." sweeties like Paris and Britney continue to draw eyeballs right?
*Cue Britney's latest single "Why don't you doooooo~ something???" *


WHY DON'T YOU DOOOOOOOOOO SOMETHING~!

OK! OK!
I'M DOING SOMETHING!

But it aint easy...

BECUZ, like any other wide-eyed, idiotic young man who wishes to own sexy toys , I'm really just a deluded phony looking to make some money off my academic training (tv production and mass communication).

This makes doing something meaningful quite difficult. But I try.

I try to incorporate unconventional ideals into my work and work process. Incorporating ideals into the MSM however, have always been tough. Tougher than you think. There are battles, and the ideological wars continue to rage on all fronts, from my bedroom, to my workplace.

Websites like "Are you Generic" carry a lot of hip, flashy ammo for the mouse-browse-rock-blog generation (me included hor...me be NOT THAT ANCIENT).

I love what "Are you Generic" stand for. Really! I do! Their messages are clear-headed reminders to couch-potatoes like me.

"Television sucks you in, evaporating your energy and diminishing your will to think..." --- www.areyougeneric.org

So...
Let go of the remote.
Get out of the sofa.
Do something meaningful. Like ordering an over-priced Red T-shirt online.


Larry's girlfriend forced him to model the tee. He was pissed off because the one-shot photoshoot cost him 2.4 minutes of "Desperate Houswives," 1.3 minutes of NBA highlights and o.4 minutes of Britney's lastest video, "WHY DON'T YOU DOOOOOOOO~ SOMETHING~!!????"
