THE WORK TIME-OUT FOR TV EVANGELIST OPERATES ON A FEW DISTINCT LEVELS. ON THE SURFACE, THE TELEVISION AND DISPLAYED VIDEO ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF A TV EVANGELIST WHO, LIKE A BADLY BEHAVED CHILD, HAS BEEN PLACED IN A CHAIR FACING THE CORNER FOR TIME-OUT. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION HOWEVER, THE WORK, SPECIFICALLY THE TELEVISION'S ABILITY TO REPRESENT A PERSON, ADDRESSES THE CAPACITY OF OUR TELEVISED MEDIA TO ACTUALLY CREATE (NOT JUST REPRESENT OR SIMULATE) PERSONAS, INDIVIDUALS AND REALITIES. (HAVE YOU EVER MET GEORGE BUSH? PROBABLY NOT, BUT YOU HAVE SEEN HIM ON TV.) FURTHER, THE CONTENT AND CONTEXT OF THE VIDEO SPEAK DIRECTLY AGAINST AMERICA 'S HIGHLY ORGANIZED, EMBOLDENED AND EMPOWERED RELIGIOUS RIGHT AND ITS KNACK FOR CREATING WORLDWIDE HATRED AND TERROR. (TV, CHAIR, DVD PLAYER, VIDEO)
