The death of TV

I have been wondering recently if American TV will suffer after January 20th of next year, the day Bush leaves office. See, i think that art and creativity flourish most under oppressive, frustrating, and dangerous governments. Maybe Russia never turned out a decent play or film under Stalin, so it's not a perfect theory. But, regardless, art needs adversity like a sword needs a whetstone. So, i'm worrying that America will, under the inevitable Obama government, die a creative death of fart jokes and "Ow, My Balls." And then i watched Fox on sunday and realized that had already happened.
"Idiocracy" will come true. Just you fucking wait.
