#28 Not Having a TV
January 26, 2008 by clander
The number one reason why white people like not having a TV is so that they can tell you that they don’t have a TV.
On those lonely nights when white people wish they could be watching American Idol, Lost, or Grey’s Anatomy, they comfort themselves by thinking of how when people talk about the show tomorrow they can say “I didn’t see it, I don’t have a TV. That stuff rots your brain.”
It is effective in making other white people feel bad, and making themselves feel good about their life and life choices.
Though these people often fill their time by talking with other friends who don’t watch TV about how they don’t watch TV, looking at leaves, cooking, reading books about left wing politics, and going to concerts/protests/poetry slams.
Generally this makes them very boring and gives you very little to talk to them about. It’s important that you NEVER suggest they are making a mistake or that there is a value to owning a TV. You should just try to steer the conversation to allow them to talk about how they are better than you.

Not if you don’t like sports. Or at least not with very good looking people.
I would shrivel up and die without tv and i’m very white.
[...] there you have it. My plan makes me a stereotype. No. As a TV-less, Prius driving girl with bangs and a liberal arts degree who could live on sushi and wine, I [...]
You’re a hipster and the best part is you probably don’t even know it.
A brown dog more beautiful than the other one and what do you think?
Lol, you know what else white hipsters are doing? Calling other people hipsters who decide to ditch cable TV out of realization that it’s shit. That’s right. You’re a hipster and the best part is you probably don’t even know it.
No Tv 2.0 Update: white hipsters everywhere are now cancelling cable tv and keeping cable modem services … ‘all you need is internet’… and stream niche programming and netflix to their flatscreens, including french, german, and other foreign content,… including news from Al Jazeerah, BBC, DW and other non-Murdoch sources….
Well, this pretty much sums it up.
Not having access to cable TV isn’t just for white people. It’s for smart people.
I was at a hotel and was flipping through channels and stumbled upon this show on the Discovery Channel called Sons of Guns. Another hack producer sold his soul and its basically a custom gun shop version of Pawn Stars. Anyway, as I am watching, I am have trouble understanding everything that is being said. I turn up the volume and then realize that its not the sound but their retarded redneck Bayou accents. Think Brittney Spears’ twang when she isn’t singing.
The show itself is shit and has no substance and I am hard pressed to think of the last time the Discovery Channel had discoveries or the History Channel had history. Every show is redneck vouge, with truck drivers, loggers, fishermen, and what have you. The push and pull factors are obvious; the right kind of white people (of SWPL) stopped watching TV resulting in millions of dollars of lost ad revenue and the wrong kind of white people (functionally illiterate rednecks) got cable ten years after everyone else.
The state of affairs is as such that I’m not sure what came first, the chicken or the egg, because I’m a city slicker and all I don’t even know where chickens and eggs come from because TV won’t tell me.
[...] not a big television watcher. On the scale of Adam Carolla to not having a television, I fall somewhere in between. However, in the middle of watching the Stanford vs. OSU game at the [...]
