They Live!

It's worth checking out a cheesy sci-fi movie called They Live. It is an adaptation of Ray Nelson's Eight O'Clock in the Morning.

This is what you need to know about this movie:

First, it stars Rowdy Roddy Piper.

Second, those stupid sunglasses are an important part of the story. They allow him to see through all the propaganda that is being used to control the poor.

Third, the news media is an important part of this web of control. Here's Roddy reading some mindless rag. It's probably Time Magazine. My torts professor used to say: Time-Life Magazines. Life, the magazine for those who cannot read. Time, the magazine for those who cannot think.

Fourth, the rich are really aliens who, with help from the middle class, are exploiting the poor through thought control.

Fifth, God, Allah, Baal, and all other divine kings have been replaced by the one true god: money.

Sixth, how is all of this control exercised, you ask? With television! At the end of the movie, Roddy Roddy Piper blows up the cable company, which is creating a signal that disguises all of the social control.

Now that you have learned these six important things about They Live, remember that billboards are telling you things like "No Independent Thought," "Consume," and "Obey."

Did you take those pics while you were watching the movie? And isn't it Rowdy Roddy Piper?

Yes, taken during the movie. Is it Rowdy? This damn movable type window is so small that I can't see the text. I'll fix.
