TV Turnoff Week: April 25 - May 1, 2005

[Cap'n]

Take the opportunity to reclaim a few of those hours stolen from you by the time vampire in your living room!

Turn your TV off for one week and return to the not so distant past when neighbours played cards, children had hobbies, people read books and nobody would consider getting a Nike swoosh tattoo. Escape the gaze of that fuzzbox and show those advertisers that you're not actually a captive audience!

I stopped watching television close to 7 years ago now and believe it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I live in a world of minimal commercialism, more reality then Reality TV, and have friends, not Friends.

I'm not saying that everyone should follow my example, I am simply issuing a challenge for a short term experiment. What have you got to lose?
