Stand by for a systems check and Virtual Television station identification break for Project Res Ipsa Loquitur, the .44 Magnum opus of Brinson M. Harris, who, to the collective chagrin, universal consternation and ubiquitous stupefaction of authority figures throughout academia and text book printing cartels from the summit of McGraw Hill on down, has created a multi-media presentation that imparts a greater understanding of Mass Communications Theory in one viewing than even the brightest undergraduates can accomplish in four (okay, five) painful years of study at even the most prestigious university. Having said all that, Go Bulls!

Significant Linkage #2--click me next!

Once upon a graduate Mass Communications Theory seminar, Brinson M. Harris was daydreaming, drumming absent mindedly on the conference table and pretending to pay rapt attention when suddenly an observation from Marshall McLuhan on the nature rather than content of electronic media awoke him: Television connected things which had never been connected in reality and created a reality all its own. That would mean that in my little finger nail, there could be a whole tiny universe, observed a very stoned Pinto, but that was in Animal House and had nothing to do with Brinson's course work or Project Res Ipsa Loquitur.

Brinson M. Harris cleared his virtual throat, fixed his figurative gaze, paused dramatically, then intoned solemnly in his trademark mellifluous baritone: "Since thinking was first thunk up before the dawn of history, philosophers and useful people alike have sought a greater knowledge and even greater understanding of The Great Truth. In churches, libraries, schools and various, sundry and assorted other institutional learning facilities, this Great Truth has proven elusive, nebulous and intangible, but because I invented the AE-35 High Gain Antenna and CRM-114 Discriminator which scan the mediasphere for moments conveying truth, The Great Truth of Mass Media can now be viewed on any monitor and some TV screens. You can thank me later," he said. "Oh, and H. Marshall McLuhan too," he added.

Some people get their news from late night comics delivering snarky quips they didn't write, others get it from stuffy talking heads on broadcast networks and cable reading boring copy they didn't write either, and an ever shrinking few get it from daily newspapers. Project Res Ipsa Loquitur is your last, best source for news that rocks, where our CRM-114 Discriminator is able to seek the Great Truth of Mass Media from the mediasphere in real time, decoding the signals detected by the AE-35 High Gain Antenna. We seek the truth and report it. Marshall McLuhan is still dead, but his ideas and observations live on. Get it?

"Of all the Mass Communications scientists to earn a graduate degree from the University of South Florida, Brinson M. Harris is certainly one of them," reads the inscription on the base of the AE-35 High Gain Antenna. Scanning the mediasphere for moments conveying truth and routing them to the CRM-114 Discriminator signal demodulator, the Project Res Ipsa Loquitur hardware, software and justrightware weave Marshall McLuham-style the tattered shards of the synthetic fabric of post-postmodern mass media into a virtual tapestry illustrating The Great Truth of Mass Media. Built from parts of an old 8-track tape player Brinson found in his garage using tools little more advanced than stone knives & bearskins, this revolutionary, innovative & highly unlikely system ushers into the field of Mass Communications an entirely new genre: Disinfotainment. This has been an official communiqué from Virtual Television, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Big Media, with offices throughout French Indochina.

A word from an important member of the Virtual Television, Inc. creative team:

Greetings.  I'm Iggy, your Virtual webmaster. 

After much heated debate, I finally convinced Brinson the links should come first, because people may not have the inclination to read through a whole bunch of his gobbledy-gook prose and then have to hunt for the links.  People surf here to see Creative Video, so put that first, right?  Makes sense, right?  My insights into media and HTML skills rival his, and I'm an adolescent rodent without opposable thumbs.

Here's his gobbledy-gook prose if you're so inclined:

 

Welcome to the creative flank of our site as manifested, defined, connoted and denoted as Two Zero Zero Niner has long since burst forth like the alien from from the chests of the expendable characters from that movie Alien, 2010 has split the scene, man, 2011 is getting smaller and smaller in the metaphoric rear view mirror I stole off H. Marshall McLuhan's piece of shit sky blue Cadillac, and 2012 Anno Domini has reached resonant frequency and is about to achieve supercritical mass.

Enjoy your tour, and what a long strange trip it'll be.

This is the video page, so let's talk video:

FINALLY!!

Our founder finally got off his duff and has posted new, never before seen portions of the actual program he's been working on (yeah, right) for so long, providing much needed new content to this web site, and, most generously, to the whole world.

In so doing, he has created a new genre, to be known now and forever more as disinfotainment TM, combing all the properties, traits and characteristics of, well, that's pretty obvious, isn't it?

Brinson M. Harris presents

A Virtual Television, Inc. Production

Project:

Res Ipsa Loquitur

The most significant development for all mankind since the discovery of fire, perfection of the wheel and introduction of flow-through tea bags and the product of minutes of intense thought and hard work, Project Res Ipsa Loquitur utilizes some but not most of the keen intellect of our founder to determine with absolute certainty the Great Truth of mass media.

Through a TOP SECRET, patented and dishwasher safe evaluative process invented by the intellectual giant, aesthetic mutant & convention adhering microbe Brinson M. Harris, mass media itself, not some pipe smoking egghead in tweed or far out hippie radical, tells its own gripping, riveting and way compelling tale.

The perfection of the CRM-114 Discriminator circuitry in combination with the AE-35 high gain antenna allows the Great Truth to be downloaded directly from the mediasphere and renders all other analysis, insights and observations obsolete. And no, CRM-114 is not a metafictional reference to Stanley Kubrick's work, as clever as that would be.

The Content Relevance Modulation-114 circuit scans the complete content of every bit of mass media ever created and plays back the Great Truth in narrative form in actual media content. And no, there were not 113 previous unsuccessful prototypes--it's 411 spelled backwards.

No longer will it be necessary, important or hip for any authority figure petty or great to pontificate the Great Truth of mass media; because of Virtual Television Inc.'s incredible (sometimes we don't even beLIEve it ourselves--it's THAT deep) innovation and generosity, the Great Truth will now and forever in perpetuity be told by mass media itself.

But your mileage may vary.

Expected on TV screens near everyone at some point in 2012 anno domini. 

SNEAKY PREVIEWS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE!!!

Author's Preface/Ominous Harbinger to sneaky previews:

Involuntary surfing down the stream of consciousness was never more fun than The Emperor's New TV Show, where we do the surfing for you.

The sum total of our mediasphere minus the sales pitches, multiplied by reruns and divided by channel changes selected just for you! It's the show created by channel surfing itself and tells the story of the human condition, life, the universe and everything by juxtaposing content from stupid sit coms, cheesy movies, mind numbing propaganda and stuff we here at Virtual Television, Inc. saw and conquered on TV.

A metafictional art work built from the detritus, flotsam and jetsam of mass media sewn together Dr. Frankenstein-style to form my daydreams and/or the nightmares of H. Marshall McLuhan and webcast under the auspices of the fair use exceptions to applicable copyright laws of the United States of America.

5 sneaky little shit previews to the latest Virtual Television, Inc. production for 2010.

The above videos are only mere fragments of slivers of samples of specimens of biopsies of selections of snippets of shavings of peeks of our (the royal/editorial sense) new program for the 21st century, all digital for your viewing pleasure/intellectual edification/morbid curiosity/clinical & scientific interests:

Almost done and soon to be premiering at Brinson's house or on DVD for those in good standing with him.  And if you have to ask...

Rife with originality, reeking of artistic merit, lousy with artistic production values and starring me.  Yeah, that's right.  An hour of Brinson's finest hour.

But do us a favor and just chill out for now with the sneak preview while he does whatever it is he does.

Read what our satisfied viewers have to say about the experience:

1. "WTF???" said a very eloquent viewer of extremely cultured and discerning taste.

2. "DUDE!!" exclaimed another scholar and gentlewoman.

3. "I don't get it," said a slack jawed troglodyte with no imagination whatsoever as he spread frosting with a paper knife and prepared to fry bread in Wesson oil.

4. "This program violates most tenets of the Code of Hammurabi, eviscerates the most important terms of the Kyoto protocol, breaks major covenants of the Napoleonic code, flies in the face of large portions of the Edict of Nantes, abuses a great number of the provisions of the Magna Carta, and probably makes a mockery of a sham of a travesty of a burlesque of a satire of many of the terms of the treaty of Brest-Litovsk, but considering it's webcast under the auspices of the fair use exceptions to applicable copyright laws of the United States of America, I totally dig it," said a guy who is not an attorney, but who once auditioned to play one on TV.

5. "I really liked the part when that guy from that one movie sounded almost like he was finishing the sentence of that other guy from that other movie," said a viewer whose favorite episode of Gilligan's Island is the one where they almost get rescued, but Gilligan does something really stupid at the last minute that screws everything up and they stay marooned.

6. "This program, and by program I mean just that, is truly a work that will influence those who, without having seen it before, would not have otherwise been influenced. A masterpiece of popular media and culture that doesn't easily resort to the sort of platitudes one expects from something so spectacular and of tremendous world import. If one were to find any fault with the work it would be the obvious and intentional lack of Hawaii Five-O reference. Clearly most of the second, and several parts of the third act, lack Jack Lord's commanding presence and because of it, the piece never really fully delivers on its promise of an angry yet determined South Pacific protagonist who will fruitlessly devote his life to the pursuit of a nemesis named Wo Fat. "You got a lot of relatives Chin, use 'em" "Okay, Steve". Was that so hard? You got a lot of explaining to do Mr. Harris. I can only hope you get it right in the sequel," said an actual Hollywood mogul & lawyer upon viddying the show.

7. "For this reviewer, “The Emperor’s New TV Show” was entertaining to a degree, although its lack of a low-drag, laminar flow wing, four blade constant speed propeller, powerful but fuel efficient Packard-built Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, armament of six .50 caliber M-3 Browning machine guns and bubble canopy made it unsuitable as an escort fighter. The program’s beechwood aged odor was a little overpowering at times, but its 525 lines of resolution (more than Elvis Presley or The Beatles) and capacity to make hundreds of Julienne fries put it at the top of the warm, steaming, fly-buzzed heap," according to an industry insider with considerable power, influence and prestige who really knows his stuff.

8. "Our test drive revealed a sluggishness in tight turns that accented the program’s lack of rack and pinion steering and an independent MacPherson front strut suspension, although it did score very well in passenger comfort and ease of parallel parking. Many if not some portions of the program rated very highly in orthopedic comfort, drinkability and moral clarity, although others caused dizziness and nausea in 4 out of 5 dentists surveyed," said a source close to the investigation on condition of anonymity with a devilish grin and heavenly haircut.

It'll be put here if it's clever, insightful or mind altering, and ignored it if it's not at least entertaining.
