I'm not saying ...Just watch a decent movie instead. I'm not saying I don't watch any TV shows ever, but movies are about the only thing I can truly handle anymore without wanting to launch something across the room. I've never really been interested in reality TV because as soon as you stick a camera in front of 'em it isn't "reality." But who cares even if it is? Meanwhile, when I try to watch hockey, I am bombarded by insidious commercials advertising kill or be killed video games and kill or be killed army ads. The medium is indeed the message.planetwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179837836532780089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12881172.post-2055774650417010712009-03-24T15:39:00.000-07:002009-03-24T15:39:00.000-07:00With programs like this, it's no wonder American k...With programs like this, it's no wonder American kids are behind the rest of the world educationally.

I was bored shitless, partly because I couldn't understand a word anyone was saying.<BR/><BR/>I guess banal TV is here to stay. I used to have a needy in-law who spent lots of time at our house. He used to love watching Jerry Springer at full volume.Tom Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05610417770240609022noreply@blogger.com
