The median age of a broadcast television viewer is now the highest ever at 54

1. Interesting!

I haven't watched broadcast television since I was going to school and living in my parent's home (I am now at the point in my life where I am receiving Social Security). It always seemed like once I was on my own, there was so much more important stuff to do with my life, than to watch that one eyed box.

I find the content of the most of the programming on TeeVee to be boring, and all of the advertising (which I believe is now at least 50% of the total air time) to be an insult to my intelligence.

I think that advertising has had the effect of legitimizing the act of lying into becoming a normal and accepted part of our culture. It seems to me that many people now commonly lie, but especially the police, lawyers and most politicians (sorry, but I won't be voting for the Hill - even though I realize that she has truthfully only "evolved" - in a manner similar to Judas Iscariot).

Recently during a conversation, the person with whom I was speaking had to explain to me what Febreze is, and why I need to buy it. She could not believe that I had never heard of it.
