The Continuing Decline of Western Civilization

Mar 05, 2006 15:25

I've found more evidence that we are descending into a cultural toilet to add to the evidence already gathered by countless scholars and pundits who came before me. What is it? Why it's none other than Kaiju Big Battel. It's similar to professional wrestling but it's dumbed down even further...to about the level of Yu-Gi-Oh fandom. This is professional wrestling for people who consider the WWE too "highbrow" or "snooty" in the same way that some fans of mainstream professional wrestling think that works of William Shakespeare are a waste of time.

Karl Marx was famous for saying that "Religion is the opiate of the people."

He was wrong. Crap entertainment like this is the true opiate. Remember the decline of Rome with it's "bread and circuses"? Same kind of thing applies here. I predict that this thing will take off big time in the next year or two. People are just generally that dumb.

weird news, culture
