I actually can't really watch TV anymore because I get too angry. Especially MTV... good lord that channel is single-handedly destroying the minds of the American populace. What's funny is I've been boycotting MTV since I was fifteen because I always felt it was insulting my intelligence and not catering to any kind of reality giving people my age a false image of what life is and should be. However, my mom a 50 something year old woman is absolutely addicted to MTV. I seriously think there's some crazy mind control associated with certain channels.
Anyway I got off point, I'm sorry but I no longer watch TV except for hockey games and watching Turner Classic Movies occasionally. TV is just the shits and the internet is so much better because I can control the content and not have to deal with bullshit commercials.
I am a history freak, I get off on history shows but I haven't watched the History Channel or any of it's relative networks because literally every show is about the United States and how awesome it is and how awesome our military is and how we fucked Saddam up. I literally just sit in my apartment most of the time wondering how fucked the world is to be buying all of this bullshit.

I wish commercials were more scientifically informative. Don't just say your product is better. Tell me why and how it is better.
exactly. im so fucking sick of commercials and just media in general. and i have been for a while. i hardly watch tv and listen to the radio, and havent for years. commercials are not only ridiculously cheesy and/or stupid, but as hitler said, noone offers anything to justify claims, just the other day i heard a commercial on the radio for burger king breakfast something or another and at the end it said "bugerking......... the breakfast of tomorrow". COME THE FUCK ON!.
there is one company that i like as far as commercials goes and thats metroPCS. i used them for about 6 months and the service was sub par, but ill be damned if their commercials dont make me laugh good and hard every time.

i don't even care that they use subliminal messages to try and get me to buy things.
i hate how they try and fucking subconsciously program associations into me.
an example would be someone recently mentioned getting into an arguement with their wife over leaving the toilet seat up. that is the most bullshit non-issue i've ever heard of, and i'm sure the wife would have never thought in a million years to mention it if it wasn't for tv.
maybe a bad example, but hopefully you'll see what i'm saying.
every situation on TV has to be understandable by the lowest common denominator, so the associations between things are really dumbed down and stereotypical, but then they don't realize kids do alot of their learning about reality from the television, and they just soak that shit up like a sponge.
honestly it makes me sick.

You don't have to watch tv, if you don't like it don't watch. Or turn it off when a commercial comes on...they aren't forcing you to watch their 'subliminal messages'

"If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise." - Aldous Huxley

thats why most people who dont like being brain washed choose to read. TV can become a filter through whcih they see the the world for many people. it serves the purpose of extracting our money and homogenizing our cultural identity and opinions. it's also a passive form of media consumption where your brain is pretty inactive and receptive to suggestion.
of course it's crap. its a goddamn tv. it's sad how its become such an integral part of so many peoples lives. so much so, that buying a plasma tv or some 80 inch monstrosity isnt even seen as fucking crazy anymore.
once you turn it off you'l notice a detox effect withdrawel feeling for a few weeks. then you become infinitely more aware of things around - photo periods, sunsets, the air outside, the eco system on your porch. a little later after being "out of the tv loop" youl notice in conversations of others how much of what they discuss is tv related.
I've also noticed that people who spend alot of time watching TV are people who claim they "didnt have time." or "dont have the time for this and that" they honestly believe it too.
i lent someone a pc and some spare supplies so he could grow his own. i come back three days later (i cooked the grain for him btw!) and the grain was sitting in a pot on his coffee table rotting and i asked him why he hadnt gotten his shit together and he claims he hasnt had time. this motherfucker has no car and no job. what the hell do you think he was doing?

I love T.V. I'm not really worried about being brainwashed because I'm not an idiot.
edit: not saying you guys who don't watch t.v. are idiots  just saying that if you know they are trying at any means to get you to buy they're product, then you don't have to become a "consumer zombie."
