TV really is Dead...

[Ripley]

The TV tells us to:

1. Buy pharmaceuticals, and their re-script.
2. Invest our money in mutual funds (happy cool music and vids..)
3. Buy _____________. (junk)
4. News, well after Paris' photo op there might be room for Bill...

I remember when news was about national and world affairs on the big 3, not local murder cases, The Atkins' Diet, and celebrity weddings.

Scream mode on: NOW

1. Even the nature shows are bad

I finally murdered my TV when all the natures shows turned into "Claws" and "Fang". If it wasn't about the Great White, it had to be Crocs or Snakes.

[Ripley]

10. woooOOOhhhHHHHaahhhhhaaa.

Nature shows are worse than that....

SHARK WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK! Get ready for it!

It's sad that serious scientist buy into this.

17. Even David Attenborough had something a few years ago.

A multipart study of big things killing and eating smaller things.

Under water. On the land. In the air.

I turned the TV right off.

[Droopy]

2. I blew up my tv about a year ago

I hear ya.

12. Can't help but ask...

Do you get a local newspaper? If not, do you give a shit?

[mhr]

24. No! All News Via The Internet Including The Local Rag

[stavka]

3. ...then turn it off!

If you dare!

[rwheeler31]

[Hoping4Change]

5. It is beyond bad, I liken it to junk mail.

[theivoryqueen]

6. add torture and violence and fat kids epidemic and voila!

yer up fer a peanuckle - peacock -peabody, whatever.

8. It's 90% commercials anyway

so just turn the damn thing off! The most annoying thing is to have to pay for cable or satellite service and then have to put up with hours of commercials, some even for the service that you are already paying for.

[Disturbed]

15. TV mostly SUCKS!!!!

I stopped watching "news" and any other shows that pretend to discuss politics. My anger level is just too freakin' high now to subject myself to the lies.

I only watch shows that I tape. FF past the crap.

The Net is where I search for news.

I used to be on BBS with Right Wingers but weaned myself off of them. I am too weary to get into debates with them anymore. Even Dem Right Wing lites annoy me now. If BushCo stays in power I will either move to another country or do something that I can't post here.

9. It's about to go the way of radio. Corporate programming.

Crap.

11. I am watching a salute to Meryl Streep

They are giving her some award or another and all these terrific people are spaking and they are showing clips. It's terrific. It will be starting over again at 11:00 because it is on the USA network.

[Ripley]

14. Hey thanks Ches...

I forgot about that award show...I would like to see that.

Lots of great movies...Deer Hunter up to that one with Goldie and Bruce...

[Nevernose]

13. The only thing bigger than celebrities, Atkins', and murders

Are when married celebrities (who have appeared on Larry King to discuss their diets) murder one another.

[Ripley]

16. Yepper from one who has Clinton posed as a....

"celebrity" with other celebrities in other fields.

[Nevernose]

23. As far as I'm concerned,

Clinton is a frigging ROCK STAR.

[BeyondGeography]

18. I love it when the legal pundits laugh about a murder case

Yuck, yuck, yuck. Can you imagine being Laci Peterson's parent or brother and watching these monsters talk about this trial as if it's a professional wrestling match? A woman and her fully-formed infant were killed. I don't care how bad the marriage obviously was. She and her child had lives to live, and they were murdered and thrown overboard.

But that's a sober point. Better to focus on Scott's hair, Geragos' dark brilliance, the dopey prosecutors, etc. Everything is grist for the circus mill.

Remind me which culture is evil again?

[Ripley]

19. Go away.

Stop that.

[BeyondGeography]

20. You call that a reply?

[Ripley]

21. That wasn't a reply...

I, oh shir never mind...I was....there.

[Kali]

22. no idiot box for more than 10 years!

Half the time I have NO idea what people are talking about as far as shows, or even the talking heads on the "news" hahahahahaha

Now this new idiot device....well going on two years now. Just about as addicting but has other uses too....who knows?

[mhr]

25. I'm With You Kali - The Internet Idiot Box Is More Engaging Though
