#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.

Often, white people find it easiest to pretend to watch TV in order to be included in the universe of meaningless sitcoms that forever dominate white-people conversations, even if said white people don’t actually watch their TVs. This allows white people to maximize their social interactions while still making fun of people who don’t own TVs.
hmm. its not that i’m white, and too superior for tv, i’m just poor. fresh out of college sucks.
I don’t watch TV because I have ADD but I think it’s ridiculous to claim that the only interesting conversation people can have it about television shows. Lame!
I don’t own a TV. Not because I think it’s bad for you, but because I believe television has been rendered obsolete.
Also, I’d like to add that it’s becoming ‘uncool’ to say that you don’t own a TV. It’s still considered bad form to own a TV, but even more bad form to mention in any way, shape or form, that you don’t own one because it makes you seem smug and superior. More and more people are quick to point this out to me, I’ve noticed, thus appearing even more superior themselves.
Simple fact is that TV bores the fuck out of me.
Please shut the fuck up.
ha-ha! I agree.
Really? I’m not the one going on and on about irrelevant bullshit. ‘We don’t forgive and forget’ what? And why are we supposed to give a fuck?
Does having a TV but not the time to turn it on count?
You get 75% credit for having a TV but not enough time to turn it on. See that makes you seem real important and almost as superior as someone who doesn’t have one.
Sorta, you can still brag about not watching TV but you don’t get the self-righteous feeling of saying you don’t own a TV. IE: you’re half-way there.
It’s worse, ’cause then you have a tv and you’re inefficient, too.
Whoa! Wait a minute!
Not having a TV? Now that’s just un-American.
Without my television….Well, I don’t know. But Bad things would happen. Most likely, anyways.
yo! i dont own a tv!!!! im most likey more amercan than you foo!
I’m a white person without a TV- I used to have a big box which looked ugly and only had 4 channels.
That’s not to say I don’t watch TV… that’s what for the Internet is for!
Glorious, glorious hours of Peep Show, Flight of the Conchords, Lost, Search for the next Pussycat Doll…
They are searching for the next Pussycat Doll? That wasn’t on my TV!
so why not just get a tv?
Because tv is obsolete.
Then why do you still own one?
WE ARE ANONYMOUS. We do not forgive, we do not forget. ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_85FwUVkvis
Fail on the first attempt, let me try this again. (Sorry!)
Speaking of Anonymous, a FOX news report about the web hacker “on steroids” who is the man (or a group) known for extreme trolling and verbal/written attacks on people who got their sites hacked. This is scary stuff right here. +
