"The average American watches three hours of TV each day". 180 minutes. 10,800 seconds. WASTED EACH DAY. Then there's this comment.
"Oh my God! I regret all the wasted time I've lived before finding this gem!!" So they'll be able to waste time quicker? And fancy saying 'wasted' when watching TV is GENERALLY a waste of time. Personally, I stopped watching TV decades ago. Using the above average, then that gave me back 3 hours of time each day. What can you do with that? Study.. get better quals for better money. Hobbies.. voice control my house because I gained the knowledge to do because I had more time to do so. etc etc etc. The internet (has for so long now) allowed me to digest a brief summary of major news headlines while eating breakfast. Most of which has nothing to do with me. Even then it's written in a way to sway opinion. TV is for idiots who have suffered intellectual death long before physical death.
Slashdot Mirror
You call me douchebag and post anonymously .... ummmmmm
Anyway, sure, put film in there too.
*laugh* that's actually funny.
"Out of curiosity, how much time per day do you waste on slashdot?"
About 15 minutes. Scan headlines, reply if feeling like it.

Agreed. Gruber is an idiot. Comments like that flick my 'ignore forever' switch.
