TV tea

The TV sits beside us
Friend or foe
Aid or manipulator?

TV tea belongs to the following groups:

Anticonsumerism, ART ACTION UNION - CREATIVE ACTIVISM, DaDa Land, Fantasy Art and Surrealism *MAX 4 PER DAY*

TV Tea

The TV crackles into action
Spewing it’s contents into the room
A man sits jabbing sausages
From a greasy plate
Red sauce drips
From fat lips to chips
As the TV gasps and gurgles for attention
Selling you its distorted dreams and illusions
Amongst the packets of DAZ and other free offers
He finds another sausage
Taking his knife
He splits it from end to end
And out pops the Six O’clock News
Todays sick and tragic disasters
Lie slumped on the end of his plate
Angrily his fork swoops down
with all the speed of a rattlesnake
Impaling a Cambodian refugee through the stomach
She lies there limp and helpless on the end of his fork
Imagination takes a bite
Buts it’s too hard to swallow
Horrified he tries to spit it out
Again his fork plunges
but this time into his own head
and stabs a thought
He screams in agony
As reality strikes a painful blow
He staggers of into the bedroom
To a chorus of “Whiter than white”

    Thanks guys

    According to research children watching TV enter states of meditation
    When 2 groups of children had their brainwaves measured
    one set in a room with a TV on
    the other in a room with blank walls
    the blank wall childrens brainwaves were acting very creatively
    the other set were in mediative states

    Watch http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/
    you will never see the world the same again

    and thats a promise
