Every April we can be sure that several things will happen: the weather will alternate between warm/sunny and cold/rainy, kids will enjoy spring vacation before going back to school for the end of the year push, and a bunch of people will decide "hey, this is the week I won't watch television!" for some reason.

Ha ha ha You guys are funny! TV as a development tool! Book shut week! hahaha I about to fall out of my chair!
...Thanks for that. Ok, if you haven't yet realized how much damage tv has done to our mental environment, then you are way behind. How much wasted time could you spend developing your skills? How much time is lost to the TV that could be spent getting to know your friends or family? How many new friends can you make while being out participating in the world?
Face the facts, advertizing has taken over television programing. Now we even have product placements in 'programing.' If a show doesn't meet the needs of an advertiser it doesn't last. Whose interests are in mind, you the citizen, or the advertiser?
Tv turn off week? How about TV turn off lifetime? Lets really "get real" and really "get a life" come on people the world is out there not in your tv box!

Television......the REAL "opiate of the people."
It dictates all facets of our lives. It elects our presidents and shapes our opinions just as 3 individuals dictate.
Control the media and you control the world. Thought control in it's purest, most seemingly innocent form.
It must be real and it must be true.....I saw it on TV!

Oh yeah! I heard something about this on t.v. Of course, I can't help but wonder how much time these fools who rant, "T.V. is evil, it destroys our minds!" waste online.
