"Jimminey Pete, Everybody Back Home is Changin' the Dadgum Channel!!!" - Dialogue courtesy of James E. Cornette
DX.
Who would ever have thought that the union of two simple consonants would ignite - ALL HELL TO BREAK LOOSE?!
From Seattle, Washington, down to Dallas, Texas, straight through the Bible belt of the Midwest and up to Bangor, Maine, D-Generation X has EVERYBODY TALKIN' ! ! !
And they wouldn't have it any other way!
Controversy. Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Chyna are soaked in it. Positive? Negative? It really doesn't matter. What matters is that people are payin' to see them! Is it right? Is it wrong? Well, maybe it's a little bit of both, but the end result leaves little-or no-question. James E.-they're gettin' the job done! People ARE tuning in-whether they want to admit it... or not. It's an X-rated version of the proverbial "car wreck." You don't want to see it... but, yet...you have to look. Truthfully? MAYBE YOU CAN'T WAIT TO!
Why? Simple. It's DIFFERENT. It's UNPREDICTABLE. CUTTING EDGE. It's UNIQUE.It's ENTERTAINING. Keyword-EN-TER-TAIN-ING.
Offensive? Sure it is! That's if you don't have a sense of humor. C'mon. Change the channel? Why? We watch television to be entertained. That's what the boob tube is all about. It's an escape. If you take it as anything more than that, maybe you should be reading more books! How do you change the channel when a group of degenerates decide to play a game of strip poker on national television... LIVE... no less? What are you afraid of seeing? The FCC still regulates, folks. I strongly believe that some might feel they shouldn't be watching-that a bolt of lightning may just rip through their ceilings and strike them dead as they sit in that lumpy-yet comfy-Lazy Boy! JIMMINEY PETE! THE IDEA OF A GROWN MAN IN HIS UNDERWEAR! GERTRUDE-WHERE'S THE DADGUM CLICKER?!!!
Well, Gertrude... CLICK IT!!! Better yet... shut the damn thing off. Because if you don't get this... you'll never get Seinfeld.
