Down with Dr. Phil!!!!!
It reminds me of an article in this underground newspaper I helped start in hs, though. One of our writers met my friend Tamim on a BBS board where they pirated software and anime - and he wrote this article titled 'Stone The One-Eyed Mind-Controlling Cyclops!" which was all about the evils of television and how it rots your brain and gets you to conform to the will of an evil corporate controlled society and turns you into a mindless consumer zombie. So his solution was to throw a rock through your television set and read more.
I look at the success of someone like Dr. Phil - and the idea grows more and more appealing the older I get =)
