"Listen to me! the tube is not the truth. they're an amusement park. It is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats, storytellers, dancers, singers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, lion tamers and football players. Were in the boredom-killing business. So if you want the truth, go to God. Go to your gurus. Go to yourselves, because thats the only place youre going to find any real truth. But, man, youre never gonna get any truth from us. Well tell you anything you wanna hear. We lie like h*ck. Well tell you that Kojak always gets the killer and that nobody ever gets cancer at Archie Bunkers house. And no matter how much trouble the hero is in, dont worry. Just look at your watch. At the end of the hour, hes gonna win. Well tell you any stuff you want to hear. We deal in illusions, man. None of it is true! But you people sit there day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds. Were all you know. Youre beginning to believe the illusions were spinning here. Youre beginning to think that the tube is reality and that your own lives are unreal. You do whatever the mods tells you. You dress like the tube. You eat like the tube. You raise your children like the tube. You even think like the tube. This is mass madness you maniacs! In Gods name you people are the real thing, THEY are the illusion!"
