Good bye American pie

For those who failed to tune in to the military indoctrination film  aired a couple nights ago on your stupivision screen, the American League again won the obligatory baseball game. 

Yes, this is where we are now.  Within the expanded military budget, apparently there's  room for more advertising, so before the baseball we get a short film showing how fun war is too.  Isn't this just the sort of thing we smugly ridiculed dictatorships for doing?   It's been a gradual build up, hardly noticeable until now.  First we had the pregame Indoctrinational Anthem, then 911 got Take me out to the Ballgame replaced by God Bless Americans at the seventh inning stretch, establishing  the diety's favor with anything done by a people who watch and play baseball.

This of course followed up by immersion in the catalyst, beer and whiskey.  They know kids are watching this wholesome sport next to their alcohol imbibing parents and the advertisements for both remind them that one day they too can become inebriated and watch sports instead of playing them and then, filled with patriotic fervor, stagger out and enlist.

There was a time when hard alcohol ads were prohibited in tv, beer seen as an adequate gateway drug.  Apparently those days are over.  They're not taking any chances. North Korea has shown our puppeteers the way.  The land of the free white people and the home of the brave colored people has simply become the Indoctri-nation.  The true  reason for televising sports is finally out in the open.  Hallelujah
