Oh my Gawd, thats awesome!!!!! But now it is so tempting to stick my head out of a window and start yelling; great thing is, i live in a street filled with students, so it might actually catch on!! Either that or they'll just think im drunk and laugh at me! This is great.

I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take this anymore!!! Man this was funny at the same time, I never saw it before. You know sometimes you just flame the shit up too much that it gets kind of funny.
That film was all about how dissent is co-opted and made "safe". When the guy had his on-screen breakdown, they just assimilated him into the entertainment machine by giving him his own prime-time show complete with studio audience obediently chanting "we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it any more". Reminds me of that line in Life of Brian, "We are all individuals!" Marcuse called it "repressive tolerance".
Interesting how that kind of communal television experience is almost inconceivable nowadays, there were a few decades where you could guarantee that millions and millions of people, maybe a third, or even more, of an entire country's population, would all be watching exactly the same thing at the same time.
I could say the same thing today. There are mornings when I wish that I had a baseball bat at the foot of the bed. Even my electric metre has a tune to warn me of impending darkness AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!Great video.
In this case, I think it was going out, quite implausibly, on 67 networks simultaneously. But you're right, audience fragmentation is a key product of the expansion of cable, satellite and digital. I saw Jon Snow speak once about how when he started his journalistic career, Channel 4 News could expect an audience share of 10 million nightly, now it's around only 1 million. Channels have to expect a much lower audience share in this day and age. Even the Queen on Christmas has competition, thank feck....
