When they are older, and 2/3 of humanity is dying in a global famine, they will wish they could go back to a time when their biggest worry was cable.

That just makes me sad. So illogical on multiple world views.

Crying or Very sad

Makes you wonder what kind of crap their parents are telling them. Kids that age don't just decide to make signs and stage a protest out of the blue.

Cable TV, like gambling, could be considered a tax on stupidity.

Since they properly spelled the simple words money and cable, they are obliviously a true proof that "No Child Left Behind" is working. Definitely college material and will be the future leaders of our country since they are selflessly actively involved in current issues.

Nice shades, definitely Hollywood materials.

Since they have nothing better to do, why not suit them up and airlift them to Fallujah? We've got terrorists defeat and Democracy to spread. Summer break has never been so fun.

I don't use the TV (and currently don't own one).
I have cable (it comes with my internet line), but I can't be bothered to buy a TV tuner or a TV set. I stopped watching TV years ago and feel just fine.

There are plenty of news sites to pick up what's happening, and PeakOil is the best daily source for news, good conversation and some of the best humour on the planet Smile

Nice to see kids getting outside instead of watching the idiot box! On a side note, have you noticed that the more channels you get the less there is to watch? When i was a kid I only had the 4 main UK channels(and i had to sit there holding the ariel to get channel 4) and always found something to watch. But now we have digital theres never anything worth watching on, and don't get me started on sky.
