Satire, Post #11

“Fig Newtons are named after a small town in Massachusetts.” This quote from The Big Bang Theory is an example of the important life facts people learn from television. Whether it is learning physics from The Big Bang Theory, brushing up on surgical skills from Grey’s Anatomy, or learning about history and culture from Downton Abbey, television teaches people all they need to know in life, so why go to school to get educated? Everything we need to know sits right there in our living rooms. Who needs to open a textbook anymore? Or read the papers? Just turn to E-News every time you need the latest, most important, hard-hitting breaking news. All people do is talk, talk, talk about how furthering education will help create an even more successful society, but that’s just crazy nonsense. Just pick up the clicker and let the one hundred percent accurate, unscripted, and always fact checked learning begin!
