I hate the television. And you know why? Because I think it ruins my family! This devilish screenbox makes my spouse stick to it whenever possible. Seems like whenever my husband is home, the TV is on.

I hate it. I really hate it.

Television bores me - it’s so passive, just sitting and watching. I prefer the interaction of the Internet, or even just reading. What can you do when you are just watching TV? You don’t need imagination (as if you were reading), you don’t need creativity and thinking (as if you were chatting on the Internet). Everything is done for you and all you need to do is waste your time, which the advertisers have already paid for.

The blaring of the television really annoys me as I prefer my dwelling to be quiet. When nobody is around, I soak up the quiet, rarely even having music on. But the weekends, with the TV on, my nerves just jangle constantly. Sports, movies, news, stupid shows with nasty Oprah talking to some superstarrish jerks.

I hate the television, because I can’t spend time with my husband. Well, yeah - he prefers the TV to me. Because the TV is easy, it doesn’t need my hubby to do something, make some efforts, go into some activity. Just put your ass comfortably on the sofa and relax.

I hate the TV! I hate the whole idea of the contemporary television!
