Re:How about NO TV? Works for me in a weird way (Score 1)

I just re-read my post and I am pretty sure there is nothing about Unabomber in there. Nope, definately not. Are you mad?

This "self directed stuff", its actually all bollocks I am afraid and simply shows that you have not thought your argument through and your attempt to be superior to others through your choice is actually based on flawed assumptions.

It works like this. I look at a TV guide, see whats on, choose what I want to watch and watch it. Same way I browse, skip most things and read what I want. TV can try and shove stuff down my throat by way of adverts, even product placement during shows I choose to watch. Then again, the internet does exactly the same thing, I have tried to rad articles, only to be presented with a flash add on a holding page first and the articles I want to read often have banners on them.

There is no difference. People can sit through adverts in both scenarios, or not in both scenarios. Hell, sometimes if an advert is good I will actually enjoy watching it, for example, John Smiths adverts in the UK. Its also worth noting that I hate John Smiths (its a beer).

People can sit effortlessly in front of the goggle box and press the remote. People can sit effortlessly in front of the pornweb and press the mouse.
