Riot of cartoons

November 3, 2005 Alexander Ryklin

The Vice Speaker of the State Duma Lyubov Slisk again went on the attack on television. Viewing a documentary about cannibals (the program “Suspicious recognition”) deduced Lyubov Konstantinovna out of balance , and she immediately sat down to write a document that entered into consideration of the Council of the Duma. In principle, Ms. You can understand the slis: it turns on the TV on Sunday, expects to see herself in it, but sees cannibals. Anyone will come out of balance.

At the beginning of last summer, our deputies were concerned about the information policy of leading television channels. Say, the morality of the people suffers from the scenes of violence and the moral level decreases sharply. Then the chief editors of the leading television channels were called to the carpet, and on the very carpet promised that they would be corrected. The deputies believed them and did not make changes to the media law regarding the regulation of television broadcasting. It turns out - they believed in vain. Six months have not passed, and on you - cannibals. The indignation of the people's chosen ones (colleagues for work have already joined Sluske) does not know the limit. The liberal public is an alarm - well, how the deputies will again take up the adjustment of the television. Our funny liberal public. And our deputies are ridiculous.

For me, so let them do with this television that they want. For example, they will remove Ernst, Dobrodeev and Kulistikov from the work. And they will be appointed in their places Pupkin, Tyapkin and Svistulkin. And what, maybe someone will go to the rally to Ostankino? Bald line. But if people from the Okhotnoy row wave to the fifth or two series-by the evening, only ruins will remain on the site of the State Duma. In addition, the accusations that the pursuit of ratings (read - for advertising contracts) is the main thing that our television chiefs are concerned, to put it mildly, not wealthy.

Of course, television channels should earn money. But the main thing is that they should be liked by the Great Kremlin chiefs. And not at all to the deputies of the State Duma, even in the rank of the vice speaker. Not yesterday it is said: it doesn’t matter what really happened, it is important what was shown on TV. The inhabitants of the Kremlin have learned this simple truth firmly. Therefore, they give this type of broadcasting such great importance. So the “dismemberment”, undoubtedly, is included in the grocery set that our leaders consider to be acceptable and even necessary for their native population.

I also do not like to watch about cannibals. Moreover, I also believe that those who like to watch about cannibals are mentally not quite adequate. Now look at the rating of the same program on NTV. It was no longer a terrible? Well, exactly the whole television policy of the current government was directed at such a result. To emasculate the content and filling the broadcast by this - all sorts of “patrols” and “confessions”. So that the people chew this chewing gum under the beer and did not think about anything else or, as my daughter says, "did not bother." And then we do not know what departments oversee all these programs.

However, another question, which programs cause greater harm to the nation - about cannibals or about our meaningless and useless Duma. Indeed, in the end, people get used to the idea that power should consist of such meaningless and useless people as our deputies, who, by the way, the flesh from the flesh of the most important of the arts.

It is said that when Dmitry Rogozin is unhappy in the Kremlin, Vladislav Surkov leaves him from the air. He was very guilty - for three weeks. Not really - two. Rogozin is upset and does correctly, because he perfectly understands that he lives only inside the TV. A month without a broadcast, and everyone will forget how it looks. One of the leaders of Yabloko Sergey Ivanenko once said that today the most real candidate for future presidents (attention of the administration of Vladimir Putin!) - Evgeny Petrosyan.

It’s funny to listen to how our deputies advocate “substantive” television. They do not understand that they cut the bitches on which they are sitting. Because, probably, on such television there will be no place for programs about cannibals. But there will definitely be no place on it and programs about the current Russian Duma. Citizens brought up by substantive television will want to see on the site of the current deputies and (scary to say) the Kremlin chiefs of people more enforcement. Who will go to vote for them then?

So, Lyubov Konstantinovna, die your ardor and finally understand: you are not an alternative to cannibals. You are their organic addition.
