Number Five! Look Up

On Canadian televisions there used to be a children's program called The Friendly Giant, starring a Giant, a giraffe, a rooster, a drawbridge, and some miniature furniature in a castle. The show was about interior decoration because it revolved around The Giant rearranging the furniature every show. Sort of like how Coronation Street is about alcoholism. Anyway, you could tell The Giant was Friendly because he did not destroy the furniature nor did he slaughter the giraffee or the rooster. In fact, The Giant was quite amiable and amicable. However, the show might as well have been about inferior decoration because the furniature was rather sparse and Giant never really developed any good concepts. But the show was only 15 minutes long, and as Noam Chomsky has pointed out, it is difficult to challenge dominant ideas -i.e., dominant interior decoration ideas - in a short time frame, so maybe that was also part of Giant's limitations.

Production values also proved to be a barrier. To get around this, the Canadian state television hired mentally challenged camera operators at dirt cheap wages. However, they proved to be quite poor at remembering basic direction. Thus, every show the Giant would remind them to "Look Up, Look Way Up" to bring his mug into frame.

Well, I want you to Look Up, Look Way Up to the top of my blog: I've changed words up there! Now we see that this is now the "The funniest World's Most Blog you've never read on purpose"! Also, I've changed the title to "World's Moist Blog"! WTF does that mean?

The truth of it is, I have been misspelling "furniature" all wrong for the entirety of this post, and a more accurate account of The Friendly Giant can be found on the Internet.

This is magic number 5 in a series of posts I am making in the month of July, 2008.
