Top 5 Most Corruptive TV Shows That Should Be Banned

AMC and HBO are a plague upon society.  Here are a few examples of why:


Mad Men - this show paints a skewed, inaccurate portrait of the successful capitalists of America's golden years.  Subversive content includes:
  • suggestion that all successful businessmen have unredeemable emotional flaws
  • smoking weeddrugs makes you creative
  • you can steal an identity and randomly show up in some office and become an executive without reaching out to family contacts
  • ambivalent stance toward draft dodging

broken homes are the cat's pajamas, right AMC?

Newsroom - Aaron Sorkin's propaganda vessel is a bunch of intellectual hippy hogwash crammed down our throats every Sunday.  Examples of perniciousness:

  • fervent anti-Republicanism mixed in with light libertarianism to seem somewhat 'balanced'
  • fancy sesquipedalian words are vacuous appeal to Sorkin's supposed intellectual authority
  • walk and talks are confusing
  • severe underutilization of Dev Patel who is the best actor on the show

Game of Thrones - this George R.R.R.R.R. Martin adaptation uses fantasy tropes as a backdoor for ushering sex and violence and political agendas into our brains, such as:

  • Daenerys overthrows perfectly legitimate rulers over and over again, but makes it ok to be antiestablishment because she does it with nipples and dragons
  • we are manipulated into feeling sympathy for traitors such as the Starks
  • Arya and Brienne compel our youth to become violent butches 
  • Jon Snow's betrayal of his celibacy vow is somehow celebrated
just realized she left her Lilith Fair tickets at home :-(


Breaking Bad - this show glamorizes drugs and crime and illicit income and violence.  Heinous messages conveyed by the show:
  • making meth is a cool Bill Nye-type science experiment 
  • disobeying law enforcement is hip
  • meth is fun blue candy and we should consume it for a good time
  • dealing meth makes you an awesome rich badass  
  • notion that "The Fly" was a passable episode and should be aired
last season? good riddance!

Girls - with the youngest target demographic, this show is one of the most inappropriate, mephitic, poisonous series on television.  This show makes the following seem "cool":
  • being a listless lazy malcontent
  • losing virginity to a barista 
  • glorying in meaningless sexcapades 
  • terrible music (e.g. Robyn, known wikileaks associate)
  • using twitter to express angst instead of getting a damn job
  • smoking crack and dabbling in cocaine with no consequences
