Without further ado, my all-time favorite post; I made this up as I went along.

From now on, while you read alt.religion.kibology, our little
semi-transparent logo--only about three inches across--will be
constantly hovering in the lower-right corner of your screen.

This is so that you don't forget which channel you're watching.
After all, you *must* be a moron, because you're *watching TV*!

Beginning next week, all broadcast stations, cable channels, and Usenet
groups will adhere to this rule, and in two weeks these extensions to
the basic concept will be added:

1.)  Below the logo it will say "YOU'RE WATCHING TV." in case you forget
what you're doing;
2.)  A large digital clock will be superimposed in the center of the
screen in the middle of an analog dial (so as not to discriminate
against people who dislike the digital clock);
3.)  All laugh tracks will be accompanied by a woman's voice saying
emotionlessly, "YES, THAT WAS FUNNY, SOMEONE JUST TOLD A VERY FUNNY
JOKE, NOW WE'RE ALL LAUGHING HERE IN TEE-VEE LAND." and
4.)  All programs made before 1953 will be Moronized(TM).  For instance,
when "Casablanca" is shown on television, the ending will now feature a
cream pie fight accompanied by wacky clown music.  Rebroadcasts of
Edward R. Murrow's classic "See It Now" will show him picking his nose.
The famous Nixon/Kennedy debate will be a burping contest.  "Married
With Children", "Beavis and Butthead", and Mentos ads will be unaltered.

Currently in the draft stage is a plan to make all printed matter as
easy to understand as TV.  For instance, Dostoyevsy's "The Idiot" will
be rewritten by Bob Saget and retitled "DUH, LOOK AT ME, I'M STUUUPID!".
Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" will be called "12TH NITE", and even the
Bible will be rewritten:

1  In the beginning the Universe sucked.  Then God did cool stuff to it.
Everything was cool, and that was nice.

In the future, all literature will be Moronized(TM) to make it more
easily accessible to people who aren't rocket scientists like Albert Einstein.

Even this very post will be retroactively rewritten by BIFF.

Also, it will be officially declared that it is always midnight, so that
bozos won't have to suffer the slings and arrows of admitting that they
can't set the clock in their VCR.  (How can people be capable of setting
the clock in their watch, but not the clock in their VCR?)

And also, other ways we will make the world more convenient for complete
idiots include:

1.)  Free lobotomies for anyone who has trouble understanding the new,
more easily understandable television programming;
2.)  Free cars with computerized steering controllers programmed with
the location of every McDonalds in the world to automate 90% of all driving;
3.)  TV sets will have simplified controls, eliminating many of the 
buttons, such as the one that turns the set off;
4.)  Restaurants will be required to circle one item on the menu and
label it "THIS IS REALLY GOOD AND EVERYTHING ELSE HERE TASTES LIKE DIRT"
to save you the trouble of deciding;
5.)  Your computer will be replaced with a Lite Brite(R).  Lite Brite,
makin' spreadsheets with li-i-ight!
and
6.)  We'll see simplified telephones.


HAVE YOU EVER MADE A PHONE CALL WITHOUT NEEDING A BRAIN?


                   Y O U   W I L L !


Phase One will be to introduce a phone where any phone call can be made
by pressing a single button, and no numbers will be needed: the phone
will have six billion little buttons, one for everyone in the world,
arranged geographically with little pictures of they people right on the
buttons!  Nothing could be simpler--except Phase Two!  Phase Two will
see a phone with only *one* button.  To call 555-1212, you would simply
push the button 5551212 times in rapid succession!  But wait, we can
simplify further!  In Phase Three, phones would have no buttons at all!
You'd simply pick up the handset, and all the phones in the world would
ring, and then you'd just shout "EVERYONE EXCEPT MYRON BEABLE, PLEASE
HANG UP NOW!" and they all would because if they didn't they'd go to jail.

Of course, in this society for the stupid, even jail would be simplified.
Convicts would simply be placed in a room that has a five-dollar bill on
the floor.  We'd simply wait for them to not take the money, and this
would prove that they've been rehabilitated, and we could let them go!

Currency would also be simplified.  If you needed to give someone $67.98
for a tank of gas, you'd just pull a generic bill out of your wallet and
fill in the blank that says, "THIS PIECE OF LEGAL TENDER IS WORTH $_____"!
One bill, no fuss, no muss!  Fuss would be frowned upon, and muss would
be punishable by a fine.  The fine would be a million billion trillion
zillion dollars.  Everyone would be able to afford it, it'd just take a
long time to write out the number.  It's just another example of how in
this utopian world everything will be made illegal so that there will be
no crimes!

And all this improvement, this perfect society, will be brought about
by the superimposition of tiny little transparent logos on the
corner of your screen!

THE WORLD IS YOUR FRIEND AND WE WANT TO MAKE IT EASIER TO HUG.

IT'S OKAY TO BE STUPID--WE'LL LOVE YOU EVEN *MORE*!

Yeah, I know, and she asked you where the "eleven" button was, right?

I don't mind you dating only really stupid people, but it bothers me
that you seek out stupid people that you can make fun of by using old
jokes.  It would be much healthier for you to seek out ones who are
stupid in clever new ways, like me.
