merge and converge as quickly as
possible for the sole purpose of im
proving the one thing Americans
cherish most — entertainment.
Gargantuan, nine-headed
beasts arise from these mergers,
each with the goal of providing a
stunningly clear picture, breath
taking color, surround sound
and definition so crisp Horatio
Alger would weep. It seems
nothing is spared in the quest for
a better, more unified method of
entertainment. Even politics, like
any good American way of life,
has been assimilated into the
machine. Entertainers abound,
licking their chops for a chance
at the plump underbelly of
American politics.
Hollywood instigated this ro
mance of star-crossed lovers.
What began with Jesse Ventu
ra’s drunken bet has escalat

manesque orgy of
