Just imagine. You could observe from your place, say, in the sitting room, the jungles of Africa, what the wild beasts are doing there. And more, you could see and listen to the jungles of our human society. Every man, then, would be forced to be honest, and there would be no secret plotting anymore of all the wickedness. Wonderful, no?

Indeed! TV will save us from wickedness!

I could watch these videos all day. All old footage, some with real sound, others with fake sound added. All joking aside, some of them are truly majestic.
