Bonqweesha Jones: "It's your favorite on-the-scene reporter, giving you the 411 on the low down faster than you can say 'War Czar!' I'm here with Bruh Sylvester, the controversial Christmas Missin' Toe artist, to talk about his new art exhibit titled 'Ghetto Dada Drama.'

"Bruh Sly, your works have evolved into a form of anti-art, evident in your latest exhibit titled 'Breast-N-Plants' and currently in 'Ghetto Dada Drama.' Are you trying to start a new counter-cultural movement?"

Bruh Sylvester: "Qweesha, I'm just continuing a war protest movement started by some artists in Switzerland over a century ago (during World War I). Back then, my style of artwork would be called 'Dada.' I renamed it 'Ghetto Dada Drama.'

Boneqweesha Jones: "Who inspired you to make this kind of art?"

Bruh Sylvester: "Some French dude name Marcel Duchamp. I've revived his Dada style called 'Ready-Made.'"

Boneqweesha Jones: "I get it! Art that is already made!"

Bruh Sylvester: "My Dada style is called 'Ghetto-Made.'"

Bonqweesha Jones: "Briefly describe the 'Ghetto-Made' artwork currently on display."

Bruh Sylvester: "It's a reclining chair facing an old analog television set with a black screen and speakers blaring audio. This 'Ghetto-Made' artwork shows how the American government will keep poor folk in darkness after switching to plasma screen televisions that receive broadcasts in high-definition. This 'Ghetto-Made' artwork is titled 'Black Entertainment Television 21st Century Ghetto Radio.'"

Ken, I have been concerned about how the switch to digital will affect those who can't afford the technology. Maybe someone can come up with $10 HDTVs like that guy invented the $99 laptop for poor children.

LW, I heard that congress could pass a law to make HDTV affordable for the poor via an HDTV to Analog conversion device that costs 50 dollars. The people, however, must ask for it. I wrote this column to make people think.

"Reimburse" Geez... better start saving pennies now. I've priced decent HDTV's, and they're outrageous.
