TV Addict
Apparently it’s TV Turnoff week though they don’t tell you that stuff on TV, so how am I supposed to know?
Interestingly enough (to me at least) I know that I’m not too far from pulling the (cable tv) plug. I must be an addict, since I can’t quite do it. It’s all Jon Stewart’s fault. Sure I can buy his shows on iTunes or even watch parts of it on his site, but somehow it seems I need my daily dose of Jon Stewart on a big screen TV.
Down to 4 x 20 minutes a day of TV…so close, and yet, still so hard.
Philips has just patented a device for making it impossible (well, at least hard) to skip commercials. I can’t wait for that thing to come out, and push me over the edge. I’ll be free at last.
Niagara, an 80’s French band had an excellent song about this, “T.V. Addict” from their also excellent album Quel Enfer. Ths song rings more true now than it used to back then for some reason. If you can read french, here are the lyrics.
Okay, now I have that song stuck in my head and might as well just listen to it now…
