<<Is it fact that intelligence is increasing? >> i just watched an episode of the jerry springer show where they featured a real time story between three folks, in front of a wildly chanting audience of presumably representative electorates. in the real time story, call it drama if one must, term it trash if one is truthful, there is the husband, the wife, and the wife's brother, or the husband's brother-in-law, who is still in love with his own sister. as the show progressed, we the tv audience got the juicier and juicier bits served up from within the mist of time, even as the in-studio audience got more excited, and the protagonists got more abusive and violent. as entertainment, the stuff was ... appalling. as sociological glimpse, the material was frighteningly repulsive. it was one of those happenings that is not suitable for everyone except a very unique, as in singular, minority, and yet i believe the ratings would be quite high flipping channels, one of several dozen, there was absolutely nothing on, while i waited for agatha christies' poirot, the traditional detective show, i settled on another channel featuring some plump girl and her mom show-and-telling about her brave efforts to diet, get trim in time for some pageant contest. the show is sad, except no one within it seemed to know. i learned one single item, that it is apparently important to have muscle definition on an otherwise smooth leg. on the flip side, i watched woody allen's "match point" yesterday afternoon. brilliant. must see. high intellect and smart entertainment. makes one want to go out there and engage with a mistress immediately. the movie is traditional woody allen, featuring lust, adultery, and death, covering basically the same grounds as the jerry springer show, but with class, making one nostalgic for what one never experienced, and game for death. bravo. the woody allen movie earlier in the day was enough to counteract the tv channel flipping later in the evening. thank goodness. chugs, j
