He enjoys his weekly dose of mind numbing visual vomit, while I would rather read chapters of tidious shit in my Visual Communication Image with Messages text book. More so because I have to then chose to. So this is what I have to say about television.
TV is trash. Television reunions between adopted children and their birth parents; encounters between a husband, his mistress, and his wife; discussions among killers on death row (in irons, via satillite), and the families of their victims; confrontations between incest survivors and their abusive relatives; meetings between corrupt plastic surgeons and the women whose faces they deformed with wrinkle-reducing silicone injections that turned out to be toxic; a priest, a rabbi, a monk, and a minister (sounds like the beginning of a shitty joke) who have slept with members of their congregations. You could see all these events on simple, old-fashioned network television, all in one single day. So get off your ass, rip the tv out of the entertainment unit and throw it out the window. Do it!

TV was entertainment, until Seinfeld ended, and then it went all reality on us. not to mention all the police dramas, and *shudder* teen dramas... actually probably the biggest tv genre in recent years is that of the talent show - all your 'idols' and your x factor, star search and all that shite. So overall I agree, TV is trash... I've just been too lazy to take out the trash...
