What popular culture teaches us

Like many of my generation, much of my learning was done at the feet foot of the Television. Now, of course, televisions don't have feet foots, but there's still much to be learnt from the flickering images.

What follows is a photo-essay-homage-thingee with a moral lesson for us, our children and the whole blinkin' world.

EXTERMINATE!!! EXTERMINATE!!!
COFA & UNSW's trucks will exterminate any vestiges of good will in the local community as they ram their trucks through the residential streets.



 
DANGER, DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!
EVEN COFA's own alarms are going off – as they did last night for more than two hours. Warning the whole community of impending danger. Something wicked this way comes...


  
It is not logical.
Spockie knows it, and now Kirkie does too.
It just isn't logical to employ ever more $300/hour consultants when they ought to be spending our(!) Government Stimulus package on relocating their students.

Popular culture gives us life lessons and "locates" us within the community. You'd think that a cultural institution would get that - huh? Instead they are advocates of unpopular culture that leaves Captain James Kirk gasping:
"Must ... breath ... must ... have ... air ..."

Television may not have had feet, but once upon a time, when tvs were a big box, they did have legs. Four was the usual number.

No feet huh? Sort of foot-loose?
Anyway, something else I've noticed - how TVs are getting much much skinnier? Instead of calling it "The Box" we'll have call it "The Sliver" or "The Wafer".
