Not watching TV is your prerogative; watching it and somehow (gasp) doing other things like reading, exercising, and interacting with real people is mine. I'm just amusing myself by pointing out the obvious in a satirical fashion.
I must admit, however, that it is refreshing to read a thread on PLUG populated with smug people attempting to outdo each other with how much TV they don't watch; it's a welcome change from the usual: smug people talking about <insert preferred language, distro, etc here> and looking down upon users of <insert hated language, distro, etc here>. I wait with bated breath Jonathan Ellis's comments about how we're heathens for even discussing TV since it's so 90s, and how we should all be getting it downloaded directly to our brains, like he is. -- - http://stderr.ws/ "Insert pseudo-insightful quote here." - Some Guy /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
