Re: Kill Your Television
Funny, funny about the blank stares!
No one could ever accuse Mopey of being out of touch with pop culture: he speed-watches TV on occasional Sunday afternoons to soak up the data. Instead of turning off the brain, he works hard to store up trivia about music groups/videos, current shows, the latest SNL or Comedy Central skits, sports summaries and movie reviews. Since TV is essentially insipid, it doesn't take that long to figure out what's going on. And every once in a while there's something clever to entertain you. And I do like to watch presidential speeches, major sporting events like the Super Bowl or the World Series, and the Weather Channel (why, I don't know- they just can't seem to get our weather right anyway).
My real weakness is old movies. Thank you Ted Turner!! But I still only spend a couple hours a month checking those out. Just no time to watch when I am running/training, reading and e-mailing. Cooking, chatting with Mopes or planning get-togethers with friends. No time at all for BoobTV. Life is waaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too short.
