Idiot Box and my love to hate it

If there's one thing I can pick to have developed a sense of hate over these many years - it would be the television.

The first sound at switching it on irritates me. 

It disturbs and kills the sound of a home. A home that's beautiful with giggles, laughters, the sounds from the kitchen etc. 

The television spoils communication within a family.

It doesn't help you love your food.

It doesn't help you look at your food while you eat.

It ruins your bond with your blood.

It makes you lazy.

It makes you an IDIOT, just like it.

It makes you sit there endlessly and eat endlessly.

It doesn't let you blink as often as you should.

And added to all this, it plays crap.

And to it's defense it's got millions and billions and zillions of viewers from across the globe reaching out to it as if it's the most powerful "tool" of entertainment available to a man with just a press of a button.

Indeed there are good shows, there is a great amount of effort put into each of the programs that play on them, but why would any educated, self-motivated, learned man EVER want to watch television?

The only reason I'd watch it is to probably see those beautiful, untouched, unharmed species that I'd probably never get to see so easily.

I'd rather read the newspaper for news.

I'd rather follow the ever active News Channels on Twitter to know the latest news! Rather not see them screaming over the same thing on television. And did I mention I never switch it on?

I'd never watch any of those silly teen MTV, Channel V shows! God, do they even know what they're doing? And I know for a fact very well, educated people produce those shows... are they slowly influencing the society with mediocrity or is the "mediocrity filled society" influencing EVEN the learned man's brains that can be put to better use?

Leaving you with that thought....

And not to mention those constant crying TV shows on regional channels. You desperately wanna puke the food you just ate, switch that channel on now!
