OR KILL ME!! - Principia Discordia

That’s right, the television…the best training tool ever devised.
With this invention, you are trained to be a docile servant of
the powers that be (more on THEM, later). Next time you stare
at the pretty phosphor screen, try actually listening to what it is
telling you. Seinfeld teaches you that cruelty and humiliation

(“Think it’s safe to tie your shoes? Don’t miss our Special
Report on the dangers of blah, blah, blah”), and the
commercials…ho ho! The commercials…
What DO commercials tell you? They tell you MANY things,
and ALL of them are designed to help turn you into a drone.
Watch one, some time…REALLY watch one…”If your body
betrays a HINT of your natural biological processes, you will
be a pariah!”, “Oh my GOD! You’re getting OLD! Buy our
skin cream!”, or just “You NEED this.”
But do we REALLY need all those products they are pushing?
Do all those SUVs and plasma TVs give anyone joy? When
you look at that SUV, are you filled with happiness, or misery
at the monstrous car payments and fuel costs you have saddled
yourself with?
This is all kind of gloomy, I realize, but these are gloomy
times…and I am not here just to tell you how buggered up
things are, but to offer some solutions.
First, embrace your inner freak. As I said before, the “normal”
people are making the problem worse, so it is on us to find a
better way. You AREN’T normal, and why the hell would you
WANT to be? You’ve been blessed not only with brains (even
the normals have those), but with the inclination to USE them.
Fer Chrissakes.
It doesn’t matter what KIND of freak you are, either. Are you a
