kudos:2 | I dont care I dont watch TV, I dont use a house phone, all I need is internet at my place. They can take their overpriced HDTV and shove it. Thats the last thing we need is more TV in this world. People are soo lazy and fat, yet they keep pushing more crap to keep people at home. I still dont get why people pay thousands of dollars on TV sets and service for them. Idiots IMO.

| Let's not forget to throw in computers with the TV which is making people fat. There are those who don't move out of the chair sitting at the computer playing WOW, Warcraft 3 etc for hours on end. Oh and computers also run thousands of dollars as well. |

The lazy-and-fat people don't spend thousands upgrading their computers every two years to keep up with technology? Don't sit in front of their computers for hours doing mindless tasks?
New, hella sick super widescreen HDTV: $6000
New, super awesomelyness computer: $2000
The TV lasts for, say 10 years is the average life.
The Computer lasts for, say 3 years before parts begin to die.
You replace the computer - $2000
3 Years later, the computer is dying again. You buy a new one to replace it - $2000
Total Costs:
Computer, over a period of 9 years - $6000
TV, over a period of 9 years - $6000
See a difference? There is no study (or, one that i would never care to see) that shows that morons that sit in front of their tv's are more overweight than the morons who sit infront of their computers all day long.
Your comment made me think that you're not looking at both sides of the story.

kudos:2 | I dont think that everyone that sits in front of the tv is fat and I know it can go both ways, but this country does have an obesity problem and pushing more tv in front of these people is not going to help. Especially with all the food commercials now-a-days. But thats off topic. |
