I am bored!
However, people are missing the point with TV-at the very least it is a time waster!
Do you really want all those ads to come into your home?
Ad agencies have execs regularly make 6 figure salary's or more because they
know that ADVERTISING WORKS!
Now, we haven't even touched on the programs yet, but with two strikes against it---why do you still defend it??
It seems as if it is a "Godly Right" we need to justify?

I don't have to defend TV....that's not what this is about.
I was raised UPC...with a TV...so I never lived the no tv life.
Does advertising work...it does..on the tv, radio, billboards, convenience stores, magazines, internet, and all the other places ads are placed...
The bottom line is this...we choose what influences us...and we don't just sit there and have our noses 1 inch away from the TV ads and go...I gotta go get that beer or whatever....but there are plenty of people with their nose 1 inch away from the computer screen....
