I don’t see how Cody’s statements are in anyway “bizarre” as this author asserts, or even express “disenchantment.” Cody is being honestly critical of bellicose, commercially driven media (which sought him out, not visa versa) and clearly seems to not be taking its social responsibilities seriously. Cody is making responsible statements, for one, trying to get across to people that outdoorsmanship is about ethics, safety, education, responsibility, cameraderie, etc. That’s the whole point. You get off the web and learn you have to depend on other human beings for your life and health. Its too bad they couldn’t just let Cody run the show and skip the commercial bombardment. This is a guy whom the government would be wise to subsidize so he can educate people on PBS so they stand a little better chance at surviving the effects of destructive multinationals and their complacent commercial media lapdogs. But heck, folks are basically jonesing for apocalyptic conflict. Bizarre? Check out Freud and Jung.

When will this show be on TV and what will be the name?

I recently watched Apocalypse Man during the History Channel’s Armageddon Week. Though I watched with much anticipation because programming of this type is so rare, I had to put my pen and pad down after two pages of noting the hosts mistakes and inaccuracies. Very disappointing.

I think the advice could be shortened to “Never watch TV, period.”

The very fact that people are watching this kind of entertainment is significant. They believe they may need this kind of information. Too bad they’re not getting good economic advice, too.

Which explains the dearth of well produced, well written and creative fare coming out of the entertainment industry today. Not only do the ‘creators’ have no practical knowledge of that which they create, their level of literacy, in general, limits their imagination and creativity. They have nothing to draw upon…theirs is a giant cultural and intellectual void. That is, except for the pre-packaged techno knowledge they have been fed from their I-pods, made for DVD movies and video games. Where is their ‘real world’ base of knowledge? From what cultural repository do they draw upon to craft their tales?
