The Illusion

Seeing as I can't go more than two straight posts without breaking the Ultimate theme, ESPN Radio has proved my "You're better off not knowing Theory" aka "Ignorance is Bliss Theory".

The Sports Guy is guest-hosting the SportsBash radio show, and I should have stayed away. It's reminiscient of a very nasaly Matthew Broderick. The show proves that you shouldn't hear the voice of good authors. Rarely, if ever, does their actual voice compare to what you think it should sound like. Likewise, Radio DJ's almost never look like what their voices make you anticipate.


Here's the breakdown of my theory:
Authors should be read, can be seen, but not heard.
Dan Barreiro should be read and heard, but not seen.
Radio personalities should be heard, can be read, but not seen.
Singers should be heard, can be seen, but not read.
TV personalities should be seen, can be heard, but not read
Exception to the above rules can be classified under the Jon Stewart corollary.

If you violate the above rules, that picture/voice/opinion will reappear in your head everytime you see/hear/read that person's work. Hence, ignorance is bliss.
