Televised & Radial influence study

[dearion]

My name is David Lee Richardson. Throughout the next few weeks I will be conducting TRI(Televised & Radial influence) studies.I will listen to music and watch television programs based off of certain cultures. I have configured a list of cultures and televised/radial programming.

Gangster: I wil watch onlymtv and vh1 rap. I will listen to only hip-hop music.

Intellectual: I will watch only c-span 1 2 and 3, Discovery vhannel and history channel. I will listen to, if available, inttlectual radio talk shows.

Violent: I will watch only hbo action, boxing, and wrestling.

Romantic: I will watch only soap, hallmark, and hbo romance. I will listen only to love songs.

sci-fi: I will watch only the sci-fi channel

The point of this is to see how different types of television and music affect my behavior. I will study each subject for 5 days starting tommorow morning. My first stop will be the gangster community.

I smell a preview:

Day One: I started getting a slight urge to have some fried chicken for dinner. Decided to eat spaghetti instead due to health concerns and the obvious stereotypical undertones that would carry. Now listening to 50 Cent, a popular rapper who wears a bullet proof vest around all the time. No significant changes

Day Three: Called a black person I know the N word today. It was meant to be endearing, but it turned out to be awkward so I quickly walked away. I hung out on a street corner today until I found a local drug dealer and purchased some of his product for later use in research. Am planning to visit a local black nightclub tonight to observe them in their natural habitat and hopefully catch a glimpse of the fabled move, the bump and grind. Am currently listening to Dr. Dre, a gangster rap legend whos popularity was more pronounced during the early 90s west coast gangster rap era. Some changes seem to be occuring as I finally broke down and visited KFC.

By day 5, just imagine more and more stereotypes in the writing. I'm just being uncreative at this point for not writing anything but meh.

Heh Heh. I'm actually thinking I'll probably become lazier and my speach will become more improper.

I think you might need to do each one for longer than 5 days.Maybe 2 weeks on each?

Agreed, but in the end, TV shall be proven evil.

yeah but then I might start experiencing vomiting and siezures from that much mtv. I think maybe 8 days is safe.
