Turn off your tv

Recently read an article detailing the manner in which companies attempt to market to the general public, ie you and me. Some of the main points were tivo type devices, spyware and search engine history, and a couple other topics. Mostly it dealt with visual media which begs the question:
Why not turn it off?

I think in much the same way that our society has eating problems we have an addiction to the television. I don't see people outside anymore. The number of people I know that sew for a hobby is diminishing. The number of "Rock Band/Guitar Hero" musicians now seems to outnumber the real deal.

People often ask me, "hey, did you see the ad about such and such?"
No, I don't watch tv.
They continue to tell me how great and clever an ad is and quite honestly I don't care. I guess for the most part I've shut off the switch for tv loving in my brain and I think its to my own advantage. Do still have a soft spot for Love Boat and Fantasy Island though.

I miss having things like Discovery and PBS but can't really complain too much.

Hm. Guitar Hero. "On the next American Idol : Guitar Hero we have Teddy from Alabama. Teddy has been clicking away at the guitar for 2 years now and has recently started a three man band with Keith from Michigan playing a child's xylophone and Jim from Cali. Jim is a former Blue Man who gained too much weight to continue touring. All men are 45-48 years old and are calling their band ReTarDz. Stay tuned!"

And that's what I think about Guitar Hero. They're not learning anything. They're not going anywhere. Buy a real guitar if you want to be a Guitar Hero.
