Let the pretentious wars begin
Looks like the Jonathan Greens of the world (many of which seem to frequent slashdot) finally have a weapon to fight back.

Re:the answer
You sound like you'd be the type of guy mentioned here.

Agreed, TV is evil
I've been TV-free for the past two years since I felt myself becoming stupider the more I watched TV.

Re:For the Record
At the risk of being this guy I actually don't own a TV.
Based on what I found via google, this refers to some guy on a "reality" show about singing (!) who always reminds the audience that he is openly gay at the end of the show.
No wonder Canadians think we are weird, they must watch our television programs!

Uh, move closer to work dummy.I may sound like one of those guys who don't have TVs, but I have been living w/o a car for quite while now and I love it. I just moved closer to where I work so I can just walk or just take a short bus ride if I feel lazy.
It's really nice since I don't have a car I'm able to afford a great apartment in downtown Seattle that is ten times better then anything I could afford if I had to worry about the expenses that come with ownership. I don't have to worry about finding parking or worry about leaving it out on a street for anyone to do evil things with it. If I need to be somewhere more immediately than public trans. I just take a cab, the cost is negotiable with the fact that I'm already saving money every day by not having a car.
The one problem that I have found is in grocery shopping, big supermarkets don't thrive downtown in any city I've known, and you always have to be thinking about weight ratios w/o a big SUV sitting in the parking lot, What's worse is trying to shop for food at the small convenience/grocery stores it can get quite expensive. But with internet grocery shopping getting better that's becoming a none point

Re:how about...Unfortunately, it's no longer accessible from the main site, but you remind me of the Onion article "Area Man Constantly Mentioning He Doesn't Own A Television" (link).
Just thought that might be an interesting reference for those who are annoyed by you and other people like you who belittle the chosen entertainment forms of others.
