This is just a test.

If this were a real post, you would have been told where to go and what to do.

It seems that a bunch of TV fans have taken out a full page ad in the NY Times to protest the cancellation of Star Trek Enterprise.

The article can be found Here.

What a pack of losers.

I think there are FAR more useful and constructive places the time, money and energy being pissed away on trying to save a mediocre TV series can be spent.

Face it: it's network television. Its fundamental purpose is to keep your attention between commercials. It wasn't doing a very good job of that, so they canned it. It has nothing to do with art. It has everything to do with commerce.

If they could show nothing but TV commercials and keep an audience that way, they would. But they can't - people get bored - so they put dollops of infantile fantasy, emotional pornography, and corporate disinformation masquerading as news to simply keep your attention between the commercials.

The death of Enterprise is just the latest example of this process. It's just a product.

You want space? Here's space:



See how that goes down.

today we were all exhausted. E. woke up in the middle of the night with an earache. It was gone by morning, but our sleep is shot. I'm going to bed right after I post this.
