Who are you sick people? My television is my friend. It entertains me, enlightens me and radiates a warm glow which is inviting to all who surround it. You might say that my television controls me, but keep in mind I control my television. After all, last time I checked I hold the remote control.
Of course, I could quit watching television at anytime. Why is it that it has to be this week? Clearly, you aren’t aware that Battlestar Galactica is back on the Sci-Fi channel again.
I think I figured out your game plan. Clearly your organization must be funded by TiVo because only someone who has TiVo would even think about skipping all their favorite shows for a whole week. Though the ratings might show some people turning off their sets, I bet the following week there will be a huge jump in the amount of people using their TiVo devices.
Look, one day without television is more than enough. Keep in mind a television has feelings too. When you turn off your TV listen closely. You’ll swear you’ll be able to hear someone crying inside. Not too mention, have you heard of the Teletubbies? They are creatures with televisions built into their bellies. Are you saying we should kill all of the Teletubbies? Surely not.
Yours truly,
Executives of ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox
