I don't know how anyone can take that channel seriously. I can't believe my parents pay for it.
Of course, CNN isn't much better. They're just as annoyingly one dimensional. Whatever is the topic of the day, they drone on and on about it. OMG! Britney cut her hair!!1! Lindsay got drunk in public and flashed her cootch!!1! Paris made another sex tape!!1!!
I remember in 94 during the OJ trial my dad just left the tv on CNN 24/7 so that whenever he walked by or sat down to watch a little telly, the tv was already yapping as he walked in the room. I think that is why I'm not a tv watcher. And why I moved out about 13 seconds after high school.

Can't argue with any of that. I've been without cable television for about 2 months now, and I honestly think it's made me a happier person.
Of course it'll have to change in October, but I guess I'll cross that bridge when it comes.
