Under the darkness, through the protection of some cover, the addict makes his living. They cannot be seen, and cannot see light. Darkness envelopes them, hides them as they hide. That's when they become animals, that's when they disappear. It is perpetual day.
TV embodies our fear of the dark, of the night, of the other side of things.
It fills a room, illuminates our way though the dark, another way to get form one place to another. I hate that blue glow, and what it says. For some, it is safety, TV is safe. Another thing that bugs me about TV, is that it is never dark on TV either. If it ever gets dark on TV, as Baudrillard notices will never happen, we may never see light again.
