блог 2 питания

Is how you say "Feed blog number two" in Russian. Or actually, it means "[Blog] of 2 nourishments," according to Babelfish. Close enough, yeah?

Question one: The boat picture.

I thought this was an awesome question since I thought the exact same thing while I was reading. What I figured was that he's so used to having everything "fed" into him, right, that any moment of inactivity is completely null, unit. He can't stand actually having to THINK about something. What a crazy idea. Maybe it really is a totally boring, stereotypical picture, and maybe it's a friggin' Picasso, but either way he'd probably find it boring, since I doubt he could tell the difference.

Question two: "Like if you carried your lungs in a suitcase and opened it to breathe."

Another one that struck me while I was reading it. What pretty much jumped to mind was that he sees the feed as something necessary for life. Not to mention totally natural.

Neither of which it is, by the way. Breathing doesn't make your skin fall off.

Question three: "Dude!"

I thought it was kinda funny how Titus's dad used "our" slang, like how our parents use "their" slang. Like, totally retro, dude. Ohmigod!

It seemed weird, like he wasn't talking like a normal parent, and I thought at first it had something to do with how they're all immature now. Which they are. But I think also he's trying to show that the dad IS older, because he's like "dude!" instead of being all "unit!" like the rest of them. Basically.

This is a weirdo song I found while searching youtube for Feed-related stuff. I think it fits. Kinda. Anyway, it's weird. It sounds like something Titus would listen to. Maybe you've heard it.

Hey, it's Feed.

So. Titus. Let's talk about him.

He's smarter than the rest. We already said that in class. So? He doesn't really use his smartness. It's like a girl dumbing herself down to get a guy. He thinks more than the rest, it's pretty obvious. The only other one who might have a brain is Loga, but she's never in it. And then we've got Violet, obviously. Titus isn't good enough for her.

Violet is the kind of character that usually annoys me, but compared to the rest of them she's great. At least she has freakin' opinions on things. And it's hard not to like her when you hear about the lesions and the fake birds and the nodule shirts and all the stuff the rest of them are doing. It makes you wonder, why does she even go for Titus when she's so much smarter than him?

It also makes me kind of wonder, why is technology always evil, right? Like you never read a book where technology is a good thing. Robots get aware of themselves and become evil and kill everyone. People become too reliant on technology and start to become retarded. Nuclear war.

Not that I'm saying everything with technology is awesome, but. Do we all have to be Luddites? Why is hating technology the smart people thing to do? Is it just some kind of automatic rebellion against whatever's new?

I also like how it's the Americans who turn into feed-bots. Seriously, who else would be that dumb. Even Canadians have more sense.

Another topic? Let's see, the dedication.

To all who resist the feed. The feed's a metaphor for consumer culture taken to extremes, so he's saying everyone who resists not thinking for themselves. Really look at those advertisements. Watch what you're watching. Think about what they're telling you to think. It's the smart people thing to do.

I think that's three topics.

Okay, youtube it! This has nothing to do with Feed. Really it doesn't. But I really really like this song. So listen to it?
