I haven't watch t.v. in a long time. I am now watching Project Runway. I miss PBS.

[!@#$%!]

yeah. pbs is the only channel i watch. i'd watch hbo too but the upfront costs are absurd.

[✌➬]

It's ironic we are talking about PBS in this thread.

[!@#$%!]

why ironic? im a pretentious pseudointellectual fucker after all.

i added the pseudo for accuracy. don't wanna mislead people making them think i actually exert my brain.

[✌➬]

I am not intellectual, just an elitist.

when i do watch TV (mostly i just sleep with it on) i like the history channel. they had a really neat program on about the milky way once and gangland can get pretty interesting. the one about the aryan brotherhood was really good.

People who will slam Ben Folds Five and in the same breath endorse Be Your Own Pet because the latter is on Infinity Cat and not yet plastered on the radio. People who casually drop their latest film noir viewings and translated novel readings into conversation, for no other reason (despite what they say) than to advertise that they, unlike you, are culturally rounded and capable of complex thought. People who line up like lemmings to watching foreign films at their local independent theater because, well, it's an indie film - by default, it's better than anything out at the multiplex! People who tolerated Drawing Restraint 9 because they lick Bjork's whiny Nordic asshole, but won't acknowledge that Aliens is one of the best films ever made.

One of the most blatant examples of this, in my cuntish opinion, is the "What are you listening to?" thread.

I would cut off my left tit if there were some way to prove that the majority of people post on that thread for any reason other than to self-importantly crow, "Look! Look what I'M listening to! It's a B-side! I bet YOU'VE never heard it! Did you know I was that obscure? Did you know I was into such hardcore experimentalism? Well, I am. And I bet you're not. I bet YOU don't own this album. Am I avant-garde? Am I? Am I?" Why else are you posting on that thread? Do you really give a good goddamn what I'm listening to? Of course not, you're listening to your own music. Do people typically respond to other people's posts on that thread? Of course not, because they're barely even reading them; they are far too concerned with posting their own brand of advertising.

People who don't realize that Sebastian Bach will own someone like Kathleen Hanna any day of the week because he loves, truly LOVES music, lives for the pure simplistic joy of rock and roll, and isn't using it as a vehicle for a political agenda, an image stamp, a competitive artistic edge, a personality billboard.

The name-droppers, media-haters, trendophobes, rabble-rousers, corporate-bashing, extreme-left, if-more-than-15-people-have-heard-of-that-band-I-can't-buy-their-album music connossieurs -

Contrary to what you must convince yourselves of on a daily basis in order to keep your fragile egos intact, it is YOU folks who are the woefully ignorant, not those supposed intellectual inferiors you turn your noses down at. So don your pricetags, kids, for you are the true sell-outs.

that's the most pretentious, most populist intellectual i'm-so-cool-i-can-like-bon-jovi-ironically-even-though-i-don't-like-him-really rant i've read in a long time.

thanks! was funny....

[Cantankerous]

^ agreed actually. i tend to just ignore the kind of people she's ranting about.

[pbradley]

I'm kind of resigned to being a pretentious intellectual fucker because I'm a philosophy major. I don't know why philosophy students are instantly pretentious and why intellectuality is a bad thing but I suppose I'm naive when it comes to the politics of clashing superiority/inferiority complexes.

And although I like a number of relatively obscure bands, things like labels and whatnot are never my concern. Also I really have little interest in independent film. In fact film all around is rarely fulfilling to me, which isn't to say that I feel superior just bored.

[Toilet & Bowels]

[Cantankerous]

[m1rr0r dash]

[Cantankerous]

[m1rr0r dash]

[Cantankerous]
