Subject Of Crack example essay topic

ARGUMENTATIVE PIECE: THE TELEVISION FIEND One would say that only American politicians habitually spout inane rubbish in an attempt to get people to like them, but the 'ever so talented's tars of Ally McBeal are skilled beyond reproach in this field. Much moronic writing has been seen on TV, not just by reliable witnesses. I will focus, however, on the actors that make up one of the most irritating casts in recorded history. One wonders about the fact that the best sitcom writers in the world are employed for their comic abilities yet come up with a character whose chief legal prowess seems to be the exhibition of bizarre tics during his cross-examinations. The lawyer I am speaking of is of course John Cage or Peter McNicol who I would imagine acts something akin to a very smart toddler on crack.

On the subject of crack, McNicol's former co-star, Robert Downey jnr., also exhibited strange head movements which seemed oddly robotic. They were probably due to the fact that he was actually taking crack. These good-looking actors who are the supposed 'role models' to our delicate youth do no more than imprint their impiety on to the blank slates that are the average television-watchers' minds. Young girls are now subjected to Call ista 'eating disorder' Flockhart and her about-to-burst collagen pout. The producers of the show expect us not to be influenced but I think that they overestimate the mental power of the average American citizen. The next one on my thespian hit list is Richard Fisch, played by Greg Germany, who is just a poster boy for domestic abuse.

His sexist attitude and degenerate manners should definitely get him bludgeoned by any self-respecting human being who has the misfortune to be crossing his path. Yes, some may think that it is amusing when he grabs a middle-aged female judge by the neck because he has some peculiar fetish. I would call it sexual harassment. The dwarf-bashing and homosexual-mocking in the Ally McBeal show are nothing short of nauseating and degrading. Yet, they still hire the piano player / singer Vonda Shephard, who, if you will allow me to sink to the standards of this terrible show, looks too much like a horse to be anybody's piano man.

The fact that she has a drunken sway - Stevie Wonder's trademark - even though she is not blind, is just plain annoying. And, of course, it is of no consequence that she has no talent, because she is 'attractive' and slender. However, I am convinced that this androgynous biped has had singing lessons with Ivor Joffe. These performers who generally seem to create among their audiences interest, delight and laughter, arouse in me nothing more than revulsion. Viewers appear to be totally oblivious to the subtle and malign influences which television has on them.

We are turning into a society of blank minds and risk being intellectually impeded by the nonsense that is being fed to us.
