Public Opinion

A comedian Jamie has failure business; he dubs for a virtual blue bear named Waldo who dedicated to interviewing celebrities and politicians in TV shows. The producer come up with a bold idea: let Waldo participate in the congressional campaign and deal with one politician. Politicians laughed at Jamie on the campaign debate, but Jamie retorted that blue bear Waldo is sincerer than any politician. Blue bear ratings jumped, but Jamie didn't want to continue. The producer replaced him as Waldo. Jamie became a homeless sleeping on the street.

In fact, if we look at Waldo's shows, he just said some rude jokes, even indecent action in the beginning. lately it became no difference attacks, from A to Z there's no political proposition. However, he won everyone's favorite, even had a high number of votes in the first election. It also showed that politicians in the election when the so-called political essence is nothing more than words. To get on the ballot victory, to do anything even opponents of the malicious slander and attack. What is the most ridiculous? People love this one.

Jamie cursed his opponent in the program because of brokenhearted. Express the bottom of the masses of the people's dissatisfaction with the politicians. It's crazy but it had gained more and more support. Later he recognized his wrong and angrily smashing the broadcasting car. Only he is awake, but he was beaten! The politicians controlled the people. This is just a joke. The end of the story is worth pondering: Jamie become homeless, Waldo won the election, everywhere is political propaganda, such as foreign charity projects. However, the homeless are being driven away.

Waldo will not let the middle-class dislike, but it can arouse the enthusiasm of the underlying people. He became the speaker of the bottom of the people to vent their dissatisfaction, but they do not care about politics, only care about their own (short-term) interests of the will. Since the surface of nonpartisan spoof attributes, also let the middle class just have fun without a sense of crisis. Until they found out it is already too late.

This story reflects the fact that political entertainment. Democracy can become show because they want to please the people, but the people is a motley crew, without any reason. People are easily deceived by the surface of the feelings which is not important, and they can be manipulated. People's social nature will cause the lack and weak of personal awareness in the group. While the group's unique access to information, the way of analysis of information, can make the most ordinary people do the most terrible thing. It's difficult to withstand the pressure of the population. In this case, public opinion has become a terrible weapon.
