When I come down to the library for DVD's, I always end up getting the leftover ones on the shelf. They've either already been played to death or they are just not very appealing to start with. I have unusual tastes that let me work around this somewhat, but usually not enough to stop me from writing a parody out of the shortcomings of my viewing experience. My Canadian History Series, for instance, demanded that I sit through a rather long and protracted account of my country's past - something I would do from necessity rather than by choice. In short, I suffered to produce my Canadian History comedy series. It is the kind of work that would never have been produced by the TV stars who signed their names to it because not only do they suffer no privations such as my limited DVD selection and my solitary social life, but they enjoyed very comfortable lives which demanded no more effort from them than to steal my work from the web. Anyway, I watched another fifty years of Canadian history documentaries last night, in order to help me bring my own series into the twentieth century. A couple things stood out. That Canadian statesman from the 1950's, Norman, who hung himself after being smeared by the U.S. MacCarthy Committee, said in his suicide note that his life was no longer worth living after the terrible destruction of his image and reputation. I could relate to that. This incident showed Canadians the destructive power of the U.S. media and got us looking for ways to insulate ourselves from it. You wouldn't think so if you examine what NBC has been doing to my scripts and my poetry since 2004, not to mention to my name and my image. I excuse no one named for violations of my copyright. I don't care what shows they were on or who they are friends with. I can't afford to give would-be murderers the benefit of the doubt after they were caught. My survival comes first. |
