Because less than 5% of you people read books.
Because less than 15% of you read newspapers.
Because the only truth you know is what you get over the 'tube'.
Right now, there is a whole, entire generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this tube! This tube is the gospel ...The ultimate revelation!
This tube can make or break presidents, Popes, Prime Ministers ....
This tube is the most awesome goddamn force in the whole godless world, and 'woe is us' if it ever falls into the hands of the wrong people!
And when the most powerful corporations in the world, control the most awesome goddamn propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what kind of shit will be peddled for truth on these dam networks...
So, you listen to me ...Listen to me.
Television is not the truth!
Television is a goddamned amusement park!
Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats...
Story-tellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, side-show freaks, lion-tamers and football players!
TV is in the boredom-killing business, not the information industry!
So, if you want truth, my friends, Go...
Go to God. Go to your Gurus. Go to yourselves!
Because that's the only place you're going to find any real truth, but, lol, man
you're never gonna get any truth from the tube! ...Never!
They'll tell you whatever it is you want to hear... They lie like hell!
They'll tell you that freedom is secure, and democracy is on the march.
They'll tell you that no one has to worry about disease.
They'll tell you you're getting both sides of the story.
They'll tell you what is moral and what is not.
They'll tell you that no matter how much trouble our hero's are in, at the end of the hour, they're going to win, and they're going to be OK.
...They'll tell you, any shit, that you want to hear!!
They deal in illusions, man, none of it is true!
But, you people sit there day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds ...They're all you know!
You're beginning to believe the illusions they're spinning!
You're beginning to think the tube is reality, and that your own perceptions are unreal.
You do whatever the tube tells you.
You dress like the tube, eat like the tube, vote like the tube.
You raise your children like the tube, You even think like the tube!
This is mass madness! You maniacs!
In God's name, you people are the real thing, they are the illusion!
So, turn off your goddamned television sets, and open your mind...
Turn them off now!
Turn them off right now!
Turn them off, and leave them off.
Turn them off right in the middle of the shit you are watching right now!
Turn the illusion off, and turn your own senses on.
