"...and I can't get up."

 

It dawned on me this morning why the elderly keep falling down.  Sure, it’s a little bit of gravity’s fault, but that is not the primary reason.

Hollywood is the root cause.  Old people spend the majority of their time watching television, and as we all know, TV programming has deteriorated into nothing more than violence, foul language and sex.

The bar has been lowered so much that it is now laying on the floor, right where Grandma can trip over it.  There is a direct relationship between drivel and drool.  The large flat screens help them to see, the surround sound lets them hear, but lameness and predictability has become the Hallmark of the industry.
