The icons of our day

I admit to watching the simpsons and even though I am not a fan I watch it quite often as it is usually on TV when I turn it on in the evenings, coupled with the fact that all else going on at the same time on other channels is even less senseless (yes, its possible)... reality shows, nonsensical comdedies and what not.

The Simpsons, currently in its 20ths season is a cartoon show about a dysfunctional American family, and although does not conciously target children runs at a time in the day when many children are sitting infront of a TV. It is sad that young children's minds are exposed to such content on a regular basis, its not even healthy for the older more discerning viewers over a long period of time, in my opinion. And that will de a bit impossible to change since the series is to become the longest-running prime-time series in US TV history after makers Fox ordered another two seasons.

This month, Marge Simpson will be featured on the cover of Playboy in an attempt to attract and expand readership amongst younger 20 somethings, according to the magazine editors. This after the day Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace prize! Stay tuned for more silly, brainless, fear inducing non thought provoking nonsense, that dominates our world today through the idiot box!
