KEEP TV FAMILY FREE

I’m always glad when some group of American hostages is released overseas, and they finally get to come home to their families. 1 him not glad because I particularly care about them, but because I get sick of hearing about them on TV, and I get sick of listening to their families. Jesus, did I get tired of all those whining hostage-families during that bullshit in Iran in the 1970s. “My husbands a hostage! The government’s not doing enough!”



Hey, lady, if you don’t want your husband to be a hostage, tell him to stay the fuck out of Iran or places like it in the first place. It’s a simple thing; you don’t have to be a theoretical physicist to figure it out. If you stay out of these places, you’ve got a good chance of not becoming a hostage.

And the media always refers to them as “innocent Americans.’ Bullshit. There are no innocent Americans. And whatever they are, they’re certainly not news. First thing you know, once they’re back they start writing books, one by one, and you have to endure the whole thing all over again, seeing them on every talk show, regurgitating the whole fuckin’ boring story again.


Here are some more families I’m not interested in: astronauts’ families. Who cares about these people? Astronauts’ wives and children. They re not newskeep ‘em off TV. I don’t even care about the astronauts themselves. Anal-retentive robots wasting money in space. Andnot incidentally spreading our foul, grotesquely distorted DNA beyond this biosphere.

I say, keep the infection local. God! Haven’t we done enough damage on this planet? Now we’re going to go somewhere else and leave our filth and garbage all over the universe? Jesus, what a pack of fuckin’ idiots we are.
