Stupivision - By Patrice Lewis

You have to read this column by Patrice. It hits it out of the park. And there was a great comment on the Digg post by IvoteGOAfirst to this. Read this carefully:

It isn't just the idiot box - the TV. It's everything. There's too much to do. Hey, why go throw the frisbee around with your wife, kids and dog - while running through the sprinkler - when you can be downloading MP3's and adding them to your iPod? Why spend the time setting up little plastic players on a vibrating field when you can be playing one of the Madden NFL games? Get serious! Work just isn't as much fun as the mind-numbing-dumbing-down stuff that we can do. Hey, who even has the time to go to work anymore? Patrice, it's not just about TV.
