EXTERMINATE!

Personally I have nothing at all against television. I certainly think there are better uses of my time, but watching TV on occasion can be entertaining. A lot of people just flip through channels when they're trying to sleep, but I never had a TV in my room so now I don't ever turn it on unless there is a specific show I want to watch. Furthermore the number of shows that I actually follow that even air on TV is very small. Most of the time there is only one running at a time; right now it's Doctor Who, but soon season two of the Walking Dead and I'll probably watch that. Probably. That's another thing about TV, I don't desperately have to catch every one of "my programs" as my grandma says. There are oftentimes other things to do, so I can always catch up when I have some spare time. That's the magic of the internet, which I much prefer to TV. Shows that I hate: anything new on Nickelodeon. Spongebob used to be decent, but trying to watch it now is like stabbing myself repeatedly in the nostalgia gland with a butter knife.

On the topic of the Emmys, I don't even pay attention to any of it. The Emmys, the VMA, the Golden Globes, the Super Bowl, the Toilet Bowl: none of them matter to me and I've never seen them. I'd just get them jumbled up anyway Now, I didn't watch the Nobel Prizes either, but I would much rather watch them than any of those other award shows. I do find it appalling that so many people decided to watch famous people clap for each other rather than learn about the real greatest people on Earth. (I can avoid being a hypocrite if I didn't watch either of them, see?)
