On Television

Just before we dozed off, we had a dream about this:

Ok, this I have to admit; reality TV is addictive. Possibly, it also dumbs down your senses. I know because I was watching The Apprentice while tremors were felt all over Malaysia from the quake in Sumatra the other night. And frankly, if it wasn't for the informative write up that were available in the newspapers the following day, I would have been as clueless as an American who asks "Isn't tsunami over already?"

The show actually inspires people to further embed themselves in the rat race and do what it takes to climb up the pyramid. At least, I was. I mean, what's the other option? Become a hippie or a bohemian artist? [Btw, please watch the Southpark episode on hippies. Being someone from the Arts stream, I felt deeply confronted, ahem]. In other words, The Apprentice is a kick ass capitalist campaign that has deep and far reaching capacities.
