TV bad, people good. Right?
Area man constantly mentioning he doesn’t own a television.
Another great parody from The Onion (linked via a comment on the What do I know blog)
It’s so funny how we always feel the need to apologize when we talk about something we watched on television. « Oh, I never really watch it », we feel the need to say. Because we know so many people are glued to their tvs, and we know we are not one of them, of course.
TV is okay. TV is not the devil. There’s good stuff on tv. Sometimes even great stuff (ER, documentaries, ID Maison – this last one is a plug for the tv show I worked for and which is still airing, by the way). You just have to know how to find the good stuff, and you have to know when it’s time to turn the tv off. I haven’t turned on my tv in over 5 days now (summer is not a good tv season for me). But that’s nothing to brag about. Right?
