There’s a reason it’s said that t.v. rots your brain. Most of the time, even when tuned in to alleged reliable news channels, we are being distracted with tales of violence and sex that are disconnected from complicated relationships among sex, class, race, ability, and gender (among other things). No wonder FOX is trying to make a star out of asshole Sheriff Arpaio.

Reality shows fabricate a vision of what is real and what we as consumers should want. The message behind Sheriff Joe’s show is that we should want a tough talking sheriff like Joe in our towns. A Sheriff who uses racial profiling, who maintains deplorable prison conditions, who actually uses the law to commit injustices.

America’s Voice, the creators of the above video have started a petition against the show. Sign the petition and then destroy your televisions.
