The cathartic merits of corporate "crap"

TA-DA...am back in all my inordinate "lack" of splendour.
Have just experienced the latest in my string of ontological epiphanies... regarding the corporeal meaning behind mankind's existential dilemma. Glory be to the creators of the infallable "Tom and Jerry' show.

Having just sat through an hours marathon of the "not- so original", " not- so dynamic" duo i finally recognise the hidden nuances behind their constant stream of "cat and mouse" pun intended. It is amazing how despite knowing "exactly" what will happen in each fateful encounter, one is compelled to watch it unfold. All its' sordid-ness, becoming more and more hilarious each time. It Kind of makes you wonder how God feels watching "us", knowing, but still compelled to watch it all unfold.... poor chap!

Tom chases Jerry. Jerry is smart...ergo jerry 'will' not be caught.
HALLELUJAH....climax... 'heavy', preferably clanky, object will fall on Tom generally in the cerebral vicinity.
Jerry will smile a sadistic yet simultaneously adorable "oh yes! im a narcissitic, vaunting, prat..but you'll love me anyway, hoop la...smile" and the circuitous path will continue to unfurl till kingdom come.

And these crazy ass idiots in the media say ideas need to be 'original" to be catchy! No ass hole, they need to be predicatble, only mind- numbingly so.

Dear William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, in all your congealing ministrations, "My humblest thanks for the midnight dose of enlightenment!" .Power to you for never having to "speak" to say.
