Media Zombies

I ran across a comic strip in the L.A. Times about 3 or 4 years ago that has been magneted to my refrigerator. I just rediscovered it again this morning. It reminded me of a comment I left a couple of days ago on someone's Blog about Grey Davis and the recall.

It is "Non Sequitur" by Wiley Miller

THE LEGEND OF OBVIOUSMAN PART 6
Obviousman is brought to the lair of his archenemy, Professor Obfusgate...


OBVIOUSMAN: So YOU'RE the one responsible for turning people into Media Zombies.

PROFESSOR OBFUSGATE: Well yes and no.........Americans became addicted to Quick, simple answers to complex questions. I merely supply their insatiable needs.

OBVIOUSMAN: So we actually turned ourselves into Zombies?

PROFESSOR OBFUSGATE: Yes....the whole economy depends on keeping the population divided into mindless herds......so we can't have you waking up people with critical thiking now, can we......

OBVIOUSMAN: Oh, c'mon...What's the worst case scenario if people start thinking for themselves?

PROFESSOR OBFUSGATE: Let's start with all the unemployed Talk Show Hosts roaming the streets.........

OBVIOUSMAN: OK...That's one for you.....
