No it doesnt hurt anyone. But it does waste HOURS of your day, EVERYDAY. We usually just have it on for background noise, but you wouldnt believe how peacefull is it now that its off, i think im gonna keep it off alot more often.

PLUS, i dont know about you, but ive seen ALMOST EVERYTHING on there like a million times, and reality TV is a fucking joke. I mean if you want to sit there and turn of your mind for fucking hours, go ahead, like you said your not hurting anyone, I just happen to have alot of other things i NEED to get done, and doing this is helping me, now if i can make a political point at the same time, id much rather be doing THAT than watching another King of the Hill/Siefield/Dharma and Greg/Other sitcom BULLSHIT, thats a FUCKING RERUN anyway...:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

NO POINT TO TV TURNOFF WEEK!!? You obviouslly show your ignorance with a statment like that. For your information TV channels make money by selling air time to commericals, and how do they decide what to charge, based on how many viewers a certain show has. So more popular shows therefor are more expensive to buy air time in the middle of. SO in TV Turnoff week you are therefor cutting revenue from the TV channels. Why is this important or significant you ask? Just some information for you, on average by the time a person reaches 18 years old, they are estimated to have scanned over 8 million ads. That alone makes me want to turn off what Corporate america thinks I should spend my hard earned money on, I get a little sick and tired of in the middle of my quality show getting blasted by people telling me to buy their shit. So not only does this solve that problem, but it also hurts the profit margine of the Major Media Corperations (abc,cbs,nbc) and why is this good, because the big three MMC's lobby congress to makes laws in their favor that then give tax breaks and corporate walfare to who you may ask, well take a guess, the MMC's. So not only does Tv turnoff week save your from being a direct statistic of corporate america itself, but also hurts their ability to pass their own laws and control the american citizen. Finnaly Tv turnoffweek is important because Television turns you into a zombie, turn if off for a day and see how much more time you have when its not divided into 2 30 minute segments, see what you can get done, heaven forbid an american citizen get off the couch and perhaps *gasp* EXERCISE, if american's cared for their chelesterol level as much as they care about the local gas prices we would all be a little healthier.

So next time you want to comment about how something IS or ISN'T inherently evil, you may want to get your facts straight little girl.

It really saddens me, not to pick on evil blonde, but people not only dont know, but just dont seem to CARE when you TELL THEM how bad they are getting FUCKED by the upper 1%. People just want to remain ignorant, as long as they get their 30 min Sitcoms.:rolleyes:
