   Wonder when we come full circle and people start using gobbledygook again. But otherwise true, and I agree – reality shows is utter garbage.

   Every generation finds the next generation’s music indistinguishable from noise. Homer Simpson said it really well: “Everyone knows that Rock attained perfection in 1976.” Of course, he is quite correct, but that’s not the point.
   Some music was just simply unlistenable when released.
   Bizet’s Carmen and Stravinsky’s Rite Of Spring are two very well documented examples that after disastrous debuts suddenly were mega popular. It is thought that human brains needed to adapt to the radically new structure of music. Rock and Roll did the same.
   Now, I need someone to convince me that HipHop / Rap is the same deal …

   Reality shows exist because all interesting content is already available on the Internet. Broadcasters are desperate to create fresh content that can’t be gazzumped for free.

   Amusing, but simplistic and essentially wrong. Don’t get me wrong, I think that Darrin Bell’s work is outstanding, but he’s created a straw man, here.

   The fact that people have an innate tendency to dislike that which is new, says nothing at all about whether or not our entertainment is or is not being degraded. The fact that our air, water, and land are all, in fact, being degraded might be seen as an indication that the present isn’t actually the same as the past.

   Just sayin’…

   He has no concept of 18th century language. The others are pretty good, or at least OK.

   Haven’t you been paying attention to text-speak? People already are.

   Er … there isn’t any 18th century language in the strip, friend.

    Regarding “Le Sacre du Printemps” – at the premiere, at least, it was more the ballet/choreography that was thought to be so scandalous.

    Hip Hop attained perfection in 1996. Anything prior to 1997 is considered Old School, and is acceptible at proms, weddings, parties, etc. Just like Rock prior to 1976.

    I was trying to explain a TV show to someone who had never seen it.
    The show is Nadia’s Bitchin’ Kitchen on the Cooking Channel.
    Nadia is a good looking woman who wears a lot of jewelry and high heels while she is cooking. Also she has strange taste in kitchen design with upholsterd cabinet doors, doorknobs for pulls, etc.
    She has two experts that she goes to when they explain where spices came from or the health benefits of foods.
    But the guys are both neurotic or even psychotic cases.
    Even though there is cooking and recipes it is obvious that the show is a comedy/reality show.

    The situations change and the players change. But people don’t.
