Cable TV Ruins Bhutan

Christ-on-a-bike writes "This article in The Guardian discusses the negative impact of TV on the population of Bhutan. It has only been legal there for four years. Violence, crime and drug use are on the up. Was this inevitable, and what does it say about the influence of TV on Western cultures?" Our previous story about Bhutan talks about the radical impact of television, but without as much emphasis on the darker side.

    I've got the karma to burn, and somebody needs to set you straight.

    You will need:

    • Bombay Sapphire. Accept no substitute.
    • Martini Extra Dry Vermouth.

    Freeze everything.

    Pour some vermouth into your glass. Swirl it around and dump it out.

    Fill your glass with Sapphire. Add another drop for the homies.

    Sip. Reflect upon what a suave motherfucker you've just become.
