You have to envy the very stupid. Most of us occupy a boring but depressing world in which we try our best to find a few moments of happiness and delight amidst the drudgery of everyday life. But for the very stupid, the world is a wonderful, magical place of supernatural creatures, real-life fairytales, and magical worlds competing with our own.
Take Full House star Candace Cameron Bure, for example. On a recent episode of her podcast, Bure explained to her bewildered listeners that she sees her TV as “the portal”. I mean, I guess it is a window into your home that brings stuff in, but there’s no way she could be being literal. Oh, wait she absolutely is:
“Like if you’re watching this, or you’re playing this video game, or whatever, that’s a portal that could let stuff inside our home. I don’t even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV, because to me, that’s just a portal.”

Bure revealed that her family “make fun of her” when she starts talking about this. Yeah? No kidding… But she went on to underline that somewhere along the line, there’s the prospect of an “incredibly demonic” force eager to push through into the Bure household if a scary movie happened to play on it.
Incredibly demonic
She admits that as someone who works in TV and film she knows how production works, and that there’s no “Demonic Liaison” department alongside Catering, Costumes, and Make-up. But, presumably somewhere in post-production, the diabolical forces get in!
“Listen, I’m in the film industry. I understand how it all works. I know that movie has a crew of 200 people, and they’re lighting it, and they’re adding the sound effects, and it’s makeup, and the camera, people, and actors. However, there’s still something that can be incredibly demonic while they’ve made it.”
It must be so fun to be this dumb. Imagine the excitement and tension of living in a world where you believe demonic forces are desperate to escape into their world through your TV set, if only you choose to put a horror movie on! To be fair, if Bure actually seriously no kidding believes demons have the potential to invade her house through the portal that is her TV, then why does she even have a TV?
Is it worth risking being menaced by the sadistic and homicidal legions of hell so you can watch The View and Oprah. Well, apparently yes, it is!
