VH1 has practically eschewed all real music content and effectively become the home of the insipidly stupid. America’s Most Smartest Model, Rock of Love, Hogan Knows Best, Flavor of Love, I Love New York. When will it end? Do people have that much of a need to feel superior to others that they will watch people who can barely spell their name 24 hours a day?

Want to know how people on television like Glen Beck, Dr. Phil, and Nancy Grace show off their intelligence? They interview and lecture morons! Have our standards dropped so low that the true test of intelligence is to tell a homeless, crack-addicted pedophile that he isn’t living his life optimally?

But what really makes me crazy is that I’m suddenly sounding like my grandfather. Do I watch Meet the Press? No. Do I watch Charlie Rose? Not, very often. Frankly, there are times where there is nothing more entertaining to me than a Beavis and Butthead marathon. I can sit and just watch those two laugh for hours, but suddenly I’m wondering whether anyone even remembers that it was a satire on the dumbing down of society. As it stands now, Beavis wins $400,000 minimum on Deal or No Deal, and Butthead is the next star of The Bachelor.

Turn off your television and do something intellectually edifying for a change – read a comic book!
