Kill Your TV and Your Internet

I'm throwing out my TV and moving the computer into the living room.

Let's see, um Grey's Anatomy, or 'My Hands Are Bananas'?

The internet has all the sex (real sex, not regulated fluff), all the violence (real violence, not the watered-down-made-for-TV violence) and all the stupidity of Network Television in a twelfth the time, with no commercials. Internet wins, no contest.

On third thought, perhaps I should give up on video as a medium altogether. Maybe stick with books, music and video games (should video games count as video media? I'm thinking not, but I could be wrong) as a method of connecting to culture.

"Hi, I'm Conrad, and I play Oblivion and F.E.A.R., I like Nirvana, Pink Floyd, NIN, Motörhead, Marillion, and Metallica (pre-Bob Rock, of course) and I enjoy reading Lovecraft, Neil Gaiman, Chuang Tzu, and Scott Adams. What's that? Cheers? Nope, never seen it. Friends? Sorry. Seinfeld? You know, I actually did see an episode of Seinfeld... no, not that one, sorry... The Twins? You mean Bambi and Thumper the twins down at Lickety Split? What's that? The Twins Sports team? What sports team would have only two people on it, are they like, horseshoes or tennis?"

Oh well, perhaps my media selections are a method of disconnecting from culture...
