Has Anyone Cured Rhinitis

What television is not all responsible Small

TV makes you stupid, is bad for the eyes and creates electromagnetic pollution. Did we already all (or at least have guessed). In the Frankfurter Rundschau pushed the literary scholar Hannah Schlaffer television now an unusual horror Peter, who finally formulated, and finally a new allegation. I quote just pull a quote :

"The more colorful [television], it fell from the more monochromatic the street scene, the flash of the living room plasma screen illuminated, the pale were the clothes. Lauter blinded grope around in the streets .... Saved the overworked visual sense is entirely the colorless "

Schlaffer lives in Stuttgart, which as an explanation for their opinion-making process, unfortunately, is not quite enough, since Stuttgart therefore is not much gray as so many other German cities (for the record. I large parts of my life spent in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, of course, that his beautiful corners has, because even a concrete jungle would be without any real desert oases).

is also difficult to remotely diagnose what is going on with the loud Schlaffer blinded in the immediate vicinity. Schwaben into common, but so far flown under the radar of society sun cult that forces its followers into the bright light for too long stare? But too many accidents with laser pointers for presentations? A madman who deals with a hot iron to his unsuspecting victims in order to verschmurgeln the innocent eyeballs? We do not know. Perhaps a case for Galileo Mystery.

Or just an unfortunate misperception sleep?

It turns The question is whether Schlaffer's thesis in reverse. Germany's cities were to the introduction of television, which was then known, sent black and white, still quietschbunt? Looked like Disneyland Paderborn, Osnabrück was one sea of color and in Darmstadt was every façade painted with floral scrolls? And what about the people of that time? Konrad Adenauer wore hats and suits in bold colors, as most proud peacock of a political caste that sat next to black and red also on cornflower blue, butter yellow and salmon pink? Mom was in principle only in acid green-spotted coat, patent leather shoes in decent solid gold and rainbow-fringed shawl from the house? Probably not. On the other hand, I am now no Witness as Schlaffer.

any case, I strongly suspect that privately initiated attempts to make urban living more colorful (in itself not so reprehensible claim), are doomed to spectacular failure. Graffiti shall be deemed a nuisance (much of it unfortunately also uninspired transition tags, for example), and I'm not sure how my landlord responds when I tomorrow morning with the ink gun and the Glitter spin was advancing to decorate the wall. We will see ...
