Please remember that you are choosing to read my opinions.

Television is evil. It is obviously a tool of the dark side by its very nature. You can sit, if you are so daring to do so, and watch hours of television without enjoying a minute of it. Myself, I can sit down and lip through channels for an hour and never even find something I want to watch. I don't regularly watch television because I'm easily annoyed by the repetition of commercials and the lack of good TV.

I haven't watched a television show regularly for years now. I watched the first season of The Dead Zone on USA every single weekend. Nowadays I can't stand the thought of building my schedule around my TV. When I was a kid, I could get up every morning and watch the same shows, and on the weekend I'd watch hours of cartoons before finally going outside. I was definitly one of the kids that spent nearly 20 hours a week in front of the tube. Of course there isn't much else that I really wanted to do.

There are plenty of reasons not to sit around and watch TV all the time. In fact, there are more reasons than I'd think of by myself. What I usually think of is that television keeps you from spending your time doing better things. People who watch TV are also pawns to the advertising industry. I don't watch TV much, so I'm actually out of the loop when it comes to what is the new thing to have, or the new style to wear, or the biggest movie ever. I usually hear about these things second hand and its comes as a surprise now.

But, because I can't possibly do better than this ANTI-TELEVISION site, I'm going to give you a URL:

Or can I top this?

From around the world, in Egypt, four kids died because of television. In fact, the television killed them directly. This is why a television should not be watched at night. You can't trust the television. People have been telling us this for years DON'T TRUST THE TELEVISION. Well, here's the proof. Four siblings, completely trusting of their television, were attacked in their sleep by a television which exploded because of a "short circuit", or so officials are saying. This is obviously a cover-up. In the United States 98% of households have at least on television, most have two to three TVs. Can anyone say CODE ORANGE? This is a potential terrorist threat if I ever heard one.

There have already been countless victims to the dumbing down effect of the television. It is evident in the fact that reality television and popstars become hits overnight. We need to take a stand before this spreads any further.

Turn off the TV.
