Entertainment or End-the-atainment?

Humans are well known for their myriad abilities. From inventing a light-bulb to discovering that E=MC squared. From the bullet train to the atomic bomb. From doing trigonometry to calculating accounts. From building the Empire State Building to Apollo 13. Humans have never been disputed as the biggest brains on planet Earth. I mean, this is perfectly true, tell me, have you ever seen a dolphine do sums? Have you ever seen a monkey build rockets?

Humans are undoubtedly the smartest creatures on Earth. Granted, we are not the strongest, neither do we have physical specialties, like the bat's super hearing, nor the dog's super smell. We don't have the gorilla's super strength, or the wolf's super speed. Neither have we the elephant's size advantage, or the falcon's air superiority. And while we might be tricked by animals once in a while, it is without a doubt we are the smartest, cleverest, and with the most potential to develope intelligently.

Well, the above are all proven, or assumed, scientific theories.

I say it is all bullshit.

Humans may be intelligent, but they are certainly not smart or clever. Since when did people who bomb others with atomic bombs be termed smart? Since when did people who drive a plane into the WTC that his fellow men made be termed clever? Since when did people who sit in a large, cold, darkened room and stare at a huge eye-damaging screen, chewing unhealthy pop-corn and drinking soda like a mindless zombie be termed either smart, or clever?

Entertainment, they call it.

End-the-atainment, I call it.

The more humans do mindless things such as watch movies and anime, the more we degenerate. From noble, kingdom building, to the space age, we're slowly, but surely and steadily, regressing back into our primitive age. With every movie being aired, thousands of brain cells in the world are destroyed. Even more eyes are damaged beyond repair. And uncountable teenagers' minds have been tainted.

Noblemen who worked hard to provide for their people, are being replaced by tyrants who act under the name of justice and judgement. Who declare war against countries because of suspected nuclear weapon possession. Government who act under the guise of democracy, but is actually a tyranny bent on turning an island and its natives into its own huge gambling den by buidling casinoes in the name of "Tourism". Not to mention poaching endangered animals, cloning, genetic engineering and also transplanting without consent. Well, with dead consent that is. And I've not even touched on STDs yet.

Well, what has all these got to do with Entertainment, you ask.

What has it all got to do with End-the-atainment? I'll tell you:

Deep Impact - Note the very obvious parallels depicted of the United States of America's tyranny. The "Extinction-level event" that was the meteor on a collision course to Earth was code named "E.L.E." or "Elly", and was mistaken for the president's newest affair. It was made during the Clinton administration too. Obvious cause of STD.

Initial - D - Need I say anything at all? Indecent exposure, purposeful with-holding information regarding racing cars and its dangers, malicious casting to attract even teenage girls, and introducing the idea of a "sexy swimsuit" to children and infants. Major cause of almost every social problem I can think of. I mean, which mother would not disown a child who declares he wants to race down Bukit Timah hill on their skate-scooter? Just the embarrassment is enough for anyone to disown the child.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Another great writer's work flushed down the sewage along with LOTR (Spell it out, Lord of the Rings, for fucking gods' sake) and the tantrum-prone Harry.

Naruto - Just the dragginess of this anime would cause lung haemorrhage. Translation = vomit blood. Stupid storyline also helps to increase illiteracy rate as it exponentially increases the SQ in its watchers: the Stupidity Quotion.

Shaman King - 'Nuff said. The corny name by itself is lame enough. The lame jokes in the show are even lamer still. Can you imagine a lame lame joke? I mean, as in a lame joke that lames? That the coldness you feel is only the tip of the iceberg, that cliche meant quite literally.

I could go on, but it would take you the better part of your month to read through all that.

Think about it. All these End-the-atainment would one day be the downfall of humankind.

MARK MY WORDS.

Looking to the future~
