blather_versus_television
hooked on blather i was taking notice of how much time i spend on blather. thinking about the hours that might be spent doing something more important. then i realized. what is the difference between a few hours watching TV or being entertained by an interactive thing called blather. i can think of many reasons why it is better for my brain. even the times it seems brainless or addictive, i know that there is creativity involved, that TV simply isn't. Some might say a comparision between the two is ridiculous. maybe it's the way i use blather as a way to relax after a hard day of work. i used to watch TV alot more, but besides the_news, and the educational channels, it doesn't do much for me these days. with only so many hours in the day to do whatever you feel like it, blather feels like time well spent. 040405

pobodys nerfect behold the comparison!

tv
~has lots of fast-food commercials on(it seems)every time there's a commercial break
~reminds you of what a loser you are for
not owning the latest gas-guzzling car
~you haven't had the urge to buy anything in the last 5 minutes for your home or a loved one?! o.0 Shame on you! You'll burn in hell and be a terrible mother/wife/husband/etc.(whichever applies)for not doing so. ;)

blather
~offers healthy snacks. Ok,we all know it doesen't really,but there's a page with healthy recipes on it you can make,
and that's sort of the same thing,right?
~sure you may FEEL like a loser for not having the latest gas-guzzling car,but there's people HERE that are in the same situation as you! Yay for strength in numbers and all that jazz! =D
Bonus: you'll(hopefully)never see one of those stupid cheezy used car commercials here! Woot!
~You forgot about my birthday and didn't get me any diamonds? o.0
Well,that's alright... but thanks to blather,i'm not going to forget this. *looks away in an angry huff* Every year i'll just bump the page up to remind you of your inconsiderate behaviour. *sobs* ;D

alice ick. television scares me.
it's so commercial... the ads are stupid... the mentality is strange... i'm glad i don't have one, for all intents and purposes

and the laugh tracks on sitcoms are just... *shudder* I dislike being told when to laugh
they're sort of funny... family guy is funny... simpsons are funny...
i don't see what else tv is good for, other than being funny
