As part of my nightly route on the way home from work, I stop by the "
Quick Stop" on the way home and grab a
bagel with cream cheese and turkey. Last night should have been like any other night, but I while wandering by the magazine rack while my
bagel was heating in the microwave I chanced to spy the cover of some
teen-bop tiger-dupe type girls magazine. This is what it said next to a picture of
five boys dressed in leather posed like primped little puppets:
N'Sync;
hug crazy?
I know little girls would sleep better with this little delusion, but lets face reality,
N'Sync might be fuck crazy, but I highly doubt they live to give hugs to 13 year old
bippies. Why does anyone become a "rock star"? To
fuck and do drugs; it's just a grisly fact of life.
Almost to further
illustrate my point, as I was entering the 24 hour cafe down the street from the "Quick Stop", I had to step over a
junkie having
seizures on the sidewalk. Life doesnt always smell like roses; tricking our children into having
a candy glazed view of reality makes them soft, stupid and easy targets.
It would be wonderful if everyone could have a "nice" childhood, but you don't have to be tricked and lied to all the time in order to have a
healthy and happy life.
Do your children a favor,
take an axe to the TV and don't let them anywhere near a
magazine rack.
