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
