Media Corn Syrup Cheese Sauce: It's Clarified!


The world is captivated by fools and madmen. Serve the platter on the smiling skulls and sockets of clarified clatter.

We need not honor fools and madmen by reading about them in the papers. It's not unlike shoplifting by the "honor-ability" of our attention...

Quick! Cut the tags of substance and stuff between our ears and cheesesauce eyes, hoping no one's looking, run with it home...

Yet the Universe is a camera, our connected consciousness diluted by emotionally charged, electronic Spam. Slice and serve with homeland sincerity.

Mesmerized by sensational yet sloppy behaviors of others, we forget that what we slip as chatter into our eyes becomes a cheesy media corn syrup for the spongy, tantalized waffles of our brains. Heat till piping hot & wolf it down. You can get it at the drive-thru!

I'm so full and I'm so hungry, and my stomach is full of worms.
