I got cable t.v. and watched it for a couple of hours and got so bored
with the programming that I threw a bowling ball through my television.
I then took the bowling ball and smashed the tv into about 20 different
pieces. I called my cable operator and told them that I wanted to
cancel. They asked me why I am cancelling the service and all I told
them that I had better not receive another bill from them. I hung up
the phone. Cable T.V. is nothing more than 100 dollars a month for NYPD
Blue reruns.

With all the money that I am saving I can put it toward food. I bought
a bunch of twinkies and oreos and used them to fill the void once left
by my 27 inch TV.

Whenever I start get bored I just start eating.

Glad you are so happy reading many of the books and publications available
for your entertainment and have the apparent available cash flow to destroy
your own possessions as you indicated. Hopefully you have a good radio to
listen for the next weather and/or security alerts.

The last time I listened to the radio I got so sick on Joshua Kadison -
Beautiful in my Eyes that I shut off the radio and never turned it back
on. I have 5200 cassette tapes and 100 C.D.s so I would never think
about turning on the radio. The amazing thing is in the last few years
they have introduced a cable version of radio - satellite radio. I
can't believe a couple of million people are actually paying a monthly
fee to listen.

The cost of a month of satellite radio is about as much as a C.D. I
would rather C.D.s then subscribe to satellite each month so I can
have control of what I listen to and not have to put up with Donna
Summer all the time.

Also, for the price of a satellite radio receiver (which are usually
junk) I can upgrade my stereo system. I got a JVC tape deck which I
bought used for $20.00. It's got auto-reverse, music search, HX-Pro
which makes playback sound better and Dolby B&C. It's about 12 years
old but it works better than anything made today.

I got it hooked up to 5 Pyle PT-4000 amps which put out 2000 watts, or
1000 watts per channel. I don't even have a volume control. Imagine
thumping Glen Houston at 10,000 watts.

While I wouldn't go so far as to destroy my TV, I can agree with you in
points. I still listen to a local FM station which plays a HUGE variety of
music. It is free, no subscription. TV is more sports, soaps, news, etc.
than I care to watch. I pick and choose very carefully what I want to see. I
don't spend "hours" in front of it. I rarely watch it - except to fall
asleep by. I know you can't always expect a free ride or free lunch, but it
is to the point - every where you turn now days - you're having to pay out
your ass to live. My ISP may not be the greatest since sliced bread - but it
does what I need it to do. Slow only on downloads of pictures. Otherwise,
I'm saving $120 a year from what my former ISP charged. Yeah, it's worth
that much.

I know this a troll post but I just can't help myself.

The reason you fail to appreciate radio or TV is that you put zero effort
into locating content that might interest or entertain you. I've got a TV
(yes! cable tv too!) which I rarely watch in real-time. I've identified a
few tasty morsels of content in the sea of reality-tv trash which I record
to be viewed later sans commercial interruptions. As far a radio goes, I
get a feed from my cable tv which gives me, oh, maybe 50 stations. I listen
to community radio music shows (reggae, some ska, heard an interesting
Puerto Rican music show the other day), plus my old standby, CBC-2 (I live
in Canada) which has some great shows and no advertisements. and there's
the odd time when I just spin the dial up and down to see what's out there.
It's not always good, but sometimes it IS good. To generalize as you have
illustrates your extreme stupidity.

You must be one lazy mutha'****a'.

When you go to the grocery store, do you just start filling your cart in the
aisle nearest door you came in, not bothering to read what's in any of the
cans/bags/boxes? You must've been very happy to stumble upon the twinkie
display right near the carts... it must be tough eating tomato paste every
meal.

I can't imagine what you might wear: it would really depend on which stores
are nearest the door you entered at the mall or which are nearest your
parking spot downtown. Likely pretty scary though... I keep thinking of the
cover of that Village People album way back when...

And your relationsips! I hope you don't live on a farm, as the nearest
"companions" would tend to be... well, let's not go there.

Back to the troll: your participation in internet newsgroups exposes the
bull**** nature of your quest for media purity. Go back in your hole, don't
bother replying.

Plenty of "free" music on the Net.

". . . void once left by my 27 inch TV" Implies that you enjoyed the
TV before you got cable.

Yeah, cable was great when it was first introduced, now it is just a
lot of slag designed to force consumers to pay for "Premium" services.
Sort of coincides with having a few large media companies buying out
the small cable providers.

Probably do the same thing to the Internet - given time, greed, and
political bribes.

TV is a tremendous time sink, and many people just get sucked into the tube,
aimlessly wasting their lives. I sold my television set in 1998 and have not
watched any TV since then, except by incidental availability while visiting
friends, or waiting for service on my truck. Ironically, I shoot and produce
television video for a part of my living, but the majority of what I see
broadcast on television is just a waste of technology.

Wind up the gramophone and use a bamboo needle.

Do you weight 400 lbs, and have nothing else better to do with your time?
If you eat enough cookies and Twinkies, you will gain more weight and maybe
you will suffer a stroke!

I guess your set had no channel selector to put on something descent! Then
after watching TV, you can go out and do some exercise. After coming back
home, you can read a good book, and maybe surf the net.

They don't care about listeners or viewers, just making as much
advertising dough as possible. As far as the radio is concerned, you
can only hear "throwing it all away" so many times. Don't get me
started on that crap medium known as Television. If it isn't reality
TV, it's some murder show.

I got two girlfriends, Dusty which we have been together for 7 years
now and Sara we have been together for 5 years now.

"TV" is an acronym for TeleVision. To me, that means over-the-air
broadcasts. I have a large screen video monitor in the studio, on which I
review footage that I shot, so clients can see the rough cuts. But I cannot
watch TV on the monitor.

You are very lucky you were not seriously injured or killed when
you heaved a bowling ball through the screen of your TV. The CRT is
under a very high vacuum and will implode if struck or broken; this
means the glass will first be sucked into the tube, then will fly out
with great force. If you are anywhere near that tube when the glass
starts flying, Heaven help you.

There are better and more sane ways of dealing with disgust over poor
TV programming than to destroy your television set. I don't care for a
lot of what's on TV either, but I have never in all my life even come
close to destroying a set in anger--if I don't like what I see on one
channel, I grab my remote and select another, or look at the
interactive program guide from my cable operator (or TV Guide magazine,
to which I have subscribed for years) and try to find something
interesting there. If I can't find anything worth watching, I just turn
off the set and do something else, or else turn on a VHS video or DVD.
I cannot quite believe that you could not find anything worth watching
on your cable service, unless you just had basic service (only your
area's local TV stations) with no other channels.

It's really none of my business, but I really think you need help
managing your temper--it sounds to me like yours will go off like a
short-fused bomb on a second's notice, and over the least little
things. Poor television programming is nothing to get so upset over
that you destroy your TV, or worse.

Good luck. I hope you get the help you need, and soon.

BRAVO!

at last the expression of freedom from commercialized propaganda has
emerged!

may you inspire all to overcome the blasphemy of mindless brainwashing,
de-socializing and de-humanizing programming content.

now, if i can ever escape from this computer, i may be able to actually grow
