The Racket

Now that you readers know that I have been posting my own original content all along, how can you stand to watch those creeps on TV ignore me? Their stars depended on my work for years. I've had at least a thousand scripts molested by their fraud. And for Christ's sake, stealing my poetry? Poetry is truth! Is nothing sacred in this cheap consumer culture? Why aren't my news stories broadcast on TV? The TV only thinks a story is news if they can make money from it, like when Dateline had my evidence sold to them by the Google boy who thinks he owns my destiny. Remember how much they talked about me when they profited from it and when I didn't get a cent from it? And here's another news story you probably won't be hearing on TV. CBC's George went to prison. That's what I heard - unless they were talking about George W Bush. CBC can't profit from stories about their trusted announcers going to prison so they don't consider it news. See how capitalism warps the truth? It turns living an honest life into a desperate struggle. Truth is only good for distorting, as far as broadcasters like NBC are concerned. Why do you think I wrote my ad about a self playing guitar, the Rocket? Gee, maybe it was because there were so many assholes stealing my songs from the internet at the time that I figured the whole music industry was full of shit. But NBC's SNL made sure you all took that for a meaningless gag on their fucking show. And how much did their sponsors pay them to mar my truth? Yes, there's big bucks in distorting and perverting truth in a capitalist culture. And I shudder to think of the impact on its citizens. The way I see it, if you submit to this kind of intellectual tyranny at the hands of incorrigible broadcasters, you're not living a full life. You're in a kind of stupor, just floating along all the way to your grave. And your last thought will be that you never once lived your life for real the whole time you were here. And that doesn't bode well for your time in eternity. Broadcasters don't care about any of the truly important things in life, such as truth, love, honor, and hard work. They just care about money. How did such criminality become an institution in a modern society that calls itself enlightened?
