I have to agree with AlpineK on this one. TV licks. I can't watch 15 minutes without wanting to gnaw my arm off. It's the commercials. Orgasmic shampoo, Britney Spears, Pepsi, BUY ME BUY ME BUY ME. Shit. It's like those damned people who call asking if my windshield needs to be repaired. If my windshield needed to be repaired, then I would get it repaired. If I want a cool refreshing beverage, I'll buy a cool refreshing beverage.

This and the comments of the not-such-a-very-bad-person Glacierdawg are just beautiful. The Doctor heard of a monk once who had either predicted the coming of or referred to the reality of TV as the devil coming to your house in a box, his horns atop your house. Nice. Exorcise your home and de-demonize your life, lest you drown in the diabolical deluge of dumbed-down drivel.

 

Up the written word! Pick up an alternative news weekly, get a subscription to your fav'rite periodical, get a library card, bounce around the dictionary, read everything from every author you ever liked, browse a catalog, grab a sample copy of 'Cat Fancy' from the supermarket. Drink deeply; it's good for you.
