Look what they done to my Star Trek
You can ask anyone that knows me, I like Star Trek. I grew up on the re-runs of the now "Classic" trek, William, Over-the-top, Shatner and all. But, as with anything that is fun and enjoyable in this world, it's been overrun, overwrought and thoroughly processed. Now, searching for Trek, you get gems like this...
Did some dude crap on this guy's head?
Crap Head
or this gem, is that ?Howard Cosell? Arthur Schlesinger?
Liver Spotted Vulcan
Needless to say, when I was watching this stuff, the hope, buried deep, was that this was something humans could acheive...but, instead, what we've done is turned it into some kind of perverse, play-acting, costume-wearing freak show.
Oh well, I guess that this is the down-side of capitalism, keep telling a bunch of monkies they need some shiny objects, or in this case, toy phasers and rubberized head gear, and they crave it - wonder what Darwin would say about this

Great post Joe. Two comments:
I agree with your observations about the cultural reaction to the show. Unforturnate but predicatible.
Second, humans are apes, not monkeys. geez...

Thanks Pete.
Please see "Buckaroo Banzai" for the monkey reference - in Ape world, it's an insult to call one a monkey.
