Oh, that's right.
I just spent two hours watching television tonight and I was reminded why I stopped watching television in the first place.
I watched Stephen Colbert personally put a dent in Barack Obama's presidential campaign by calling him a liar. He then went on to almost belittle his guest, former basketball player who just came out, John Amaechi. A little side note about him, I forgot his name and typed "basketball player" and "closet" in Google and a website related to him was number one.
I then watched an episode of South Park which speaks for itself.
Finished the night off with Mind of Mencia where I watched him have Three 6 Mafia rap offensively then do a fake robbery/beatdown on Mencia himself. Thats when I turned off the television.
Please turn off the television. Read a book. The newspaper. Go for a walk. Anything. Just don't let television rot your brain. We seriously do not realize how much what we watch affects us. Television is a very powerful tool and the people behind these networks know this and are using it most effectively. There is a psychology behind it. They know how to capture our attention and hold it for hours. Think of all the times you've turned on the televison and completely lost track of time.
Don't pretend that never happens.
Turn it off!
