Fuck TV! It's a blight upon the land. It just makes you stupid.After all, what's the news except what they CHOOSE to broadcast. If you watch four hours of TV a day, (which is less than the national average) you spend TWO MONTHS a year doing nothing but. Think about it.

markvinyl,

I totally agree, unless you're spending that time watching the History Channel, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and the likes of those.

On the bright side of things, go ahead and let the folks who watch hours and hours of that shit all day long keep on doing so as that way you don't have to deal with them when you venture out into the public from in front of your own television sets.

I agree the only time I really watch TV is when I'm writting a new bit and I need something to make fun of other then that I'm a huge sports nut so if the TV's on I'm ether watching a game or a race or match or Sportcenter.

fuckers,

i totally disagree. television is my window to the world. i watch loads of documentaries on discovery and court tv, and stay up on current events from unbiased news sources... like bbc world news.

most importantly i watch loads of comedy! nto to mention i got an assload of movie channels that i put to work. im an avid movie buff and a huge fan of all film in general.


i say... YAY TV!

tv only sucks if you watch bland cookie cutter sitcoms, and forced reality shows (not all are bad. justa couple) what a waste fo time.

Gareth,

I too, also like TV, primarily for music videos and select reality shows--plus the news stations are too ridiculous to ignore. Plus there is always at least a decent smidgen of rad comedy to catch on the so called 'boob tube'. What I'm trying to say is 'don't shoot your TV', but don't eat your dinner in front of it everyday, either. Unless you want to.

NickFlanagan,

it only makes sense, when all i can fucking afford is god damned TV dinners. pathetic huh?

i am the ultimate american bachelor chef. just not a bachelor.

Oh, and one other thing I forgot to mention... Pornography. It's how I learned how to fuck.

The majority of programs are still just a hunk of shit. If the "Inkblot Variety Hour" was on it would just be another peanut in the entertainment turd to most folks, but I'd still have fun with it.
