Quite a funny article

Anyone see the irony in what he's saying?

If he doesnt own a TV or watch the programmes, what gives him the right to spew about how bad the shows are?

I don't own a TV either.

I stopped watching TV around the year 2000 (when all this Popstars/Survivor/X-Factor crap arrived in France).
No more commercials, no more dubbed movies, no more reality shows...

Continued Green: "People don't realize just how much time their TV-watching habit–or, shall I say, addiction–eats up. Four hours of television a day, over the course of a month, adds up to 120 hours. That's five entire days! Why not spend that time living your own life, instead of watching fictional people live theirs? I can't begin to tell you how happy I am not to own a television."

So.... ehm... but if he DID have a television, he wouldnt have to brag about NOT having a TV every second of everyday, so he could use THAT time by actually seeing some good shows...

Perhaps one day he'll read about a cool new feature on a TV set, called the On/Off switch.

Or better yet, he could read about another cool new thing, namely The Internet... and then brag about not having THAT either! God... he's missing so much of his bragging potential!

Anyway... I hate those guys who keep moaning about the same old issues over and over and over again. I'd just want to punch them in their whiney bitchy little faces...

...Kinda like that ong-bak guy does, when he smacked that guys face in. A shame Premier Asia fucked that release up by not including the original score. I dont get it... I REALLY dont get it... what was wrong with it? Nothing... it was classic! CLASSIC I TELL YA!...and that Brian White Dude... If he... ( ...-rants on

)

LOL Yi-Long

Fair enough Tom, I expect you've seen X factor etc so know what they're like

How do you watch your DVDs though when you say you dont own a TV?

I have a videoprojector, but it doesn't have a TV tuner (I can't watch TV even if I want to).

I have a TV, but rarely watch TV as I use it mostly for DVDs or video games.

Most shows only seem to be interrupting the commercials as I see it, lol.

But I hate it when people claim they do not watch TV at all. They pretend to be so much superior and so much more intellectual etc. I love to watch documentaries and the news on TV. These shows are not interrupted by commercial breaks over here.

Tom,
I see

LD,
I agree I hate it when people say that, they seem really snooty and superior and presumably they must have watched some TV otherwise they couldnt comment
