The Burdens of Being Upright

we see paradise and put up a parking lot

i saw the worst thing on tv today. the newscaster on fox was talking about the war and then he said "stay brave. stay strong. stay with fox." i swear, using a war to advertise. and then uh coca cola company arranged all the bodies of dead civilians to spell "drink coke" so the F-117777s had something to look at just before they dropped bombs. and as iraqi citizens tried to run across the border into jordan's refugee camps, dodging minefields and air raids, one pulled out a pack of mentos and smiled into the camera. i love it though. the little news tickers at the bottom of the screen saying "hundreds of people arrested for protesting." thats great. and then the explanation that they were getting too violent. that makes a lot of sense, to arrest protestors for being too violent while we simutaneously drop bombs on crowded cities. rarr.
