Troll.
- criddell 9y agoHow is that a troll or even provocative? Last Sunday was the Game of Thrones finale and there was a lot of excitement over it. That's not because TV sucks and everybody should ditch it. Tonight I'll watch a baseball game on TV. Over the weekend I had it on more than usual because I was watching the Harvey news. Television is wonderful.
- trapperkeeper74 9y agoEither you're hillariously sarcastic or not the sharpest instrument trying to rationalize their undying, partisan team promotion for glowing consumption. Assuming the former: GoT isn't "TV," it's multiplatform, third-party, ad-free, cable HBO. How is: - arranging your life around schedules of broadcasts - sitting through long, pointless ads wasting one's limited life - sitting in one place because a service isn't completely available except within an old, outdated, building subscription service framework - watching local lazy or "must carry" propaganda or in-bubble-centric, watered-down, biased national/cable news that doesn't address real issues (VICE and Democracy Now are good) "wonderful?" Is that anything like Trump "wonderful" or Apple "wonderful" when they charge $750 to "repair" a $0.25 part by throwing away a fixable board.
