Ever see the show?
My son tapes it religiously and we laugh like hell when it's on. Funny....
But think again. Why are you laughing so hard?
Remind you of anyone you know? Can you identify with the insanity?
I look at my dad....88 years old....and he doesn't get it. Why?
Because it's off the wall.
It's iconic of our culture....and our state of mind.
We're getting to this point.
Yes I know....Bush is probably the biggest JACKASS that's ever come to power...unfortunately with the world's most awesome army behind him.... It's possibly the most disturbing time in the history of the world.
But we can't just summarily dismiss why this insanity is so popular....why Americans tend to want to bend their necks to view the train wreck. It is part of our culture. It's become a way of life in America.
Corporate America has become a large JACKASS show. Our youth is turning into a JACKASS series that has no moral footing.
The rest of the world is looking on in disbelief.
Anger. Disbelief. Sensationalism gone mad. It's the breakdown of our culture.
and it's not funny. Because we're not a TV series....we're supposed to be a responsible country with responsible citizenry.
Time to push the Jackass back in the box.
