Cable TV Is Evil

Apparently though, it's not a necessary evil. I enjoy not having it, and used to supplement my cravings using internet tv, piracy, and any other measures I deemed necessary:

[from www.dinosaursfuckingrobots.com] - basically one of the only things I like on the site.

In all seriousness, Cable is evil (and don't even get me started on the fucking racket being run by the providers). The computer I'm using has a sound card which apparently needs black magic to work properly, in addition to any of a billion different drivers I've tried installing. The point is, I've been without a reliable source for what you might call 'TV,' and I think there's some real benefits. I've read three books in the past week, will probably read two more this week, and I find it much more enjoyable than staring slack-jawed at a screen for hours on end.

Not that I'm against owning a TV or anything (DVD's are great), I just think there's something to be gained from eliminating 400 channels of shit you don't really want to watch/buy, all those fucking retarded commercials, and 3 million episodes of Friends/3 and a Half Men/Moesha/Wings/Taxi/Insert Whatever SitCom you've probably already seen from your life.
