    is anyone actually doing it?
    not like i've watched tv this week, anyway...it's more or less involuntary on my part.

    (it's the adbusters thingy)

    yeah.

    i'm actually almost against it, in the sense that too much activism can be a bad thing.

    i enjoy television.

    i watched hockey lastnight. I moved the TV on my patio again and sat under the dusk sky sipping wine. it was flawless and the Kings won.

    I didnt know anything about tv turnoff week. they should consider taking ads on tv to let people know about these kinds of things.

    I didn't know anything about tv turnoff week. It would have been funny if there were ads for it on the tv, though. I watched 7th heaven last night. Then a movie.

    I watched the Simpsons last night and then caught a bit of Everybody Loves Raymond. I don't get that show at all -- the wife is clearly an intelligent woman...why does she stay with that weak lump of a husband? Why the hell doesn't he stand up to his parents? (Because then there'd be no show?)

    i haven't watched tv this month.

By J public on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 06:55 pm:

    i just watched half of babylon 5, and some of the simpsons.

    adbusters claims they had ads on cable.
    like a few seconds of a black screen and some text.

    i'm feeling that perhaps adbusters is a bit mainstream, and therefore, not so cool anymore.

By heather on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 07:13 pm:

    what the hell's adbusters and why would they be making ads?

    what could be cool with a name like adbusters anyway?

By semillama on Tuesday, April 23, 2002 - 07:21 pm:

    Adbusters jumped the shark when they lost
    their sense of humor. Political action without
    being funny is lame.

    Anybody see that Bill Moyers documentary on PBS about the Hudson River last night? I only caught about 40 minutes of it before I nodded off, but it was very interesting.
