Television rules the nation

Last night I watched a rat eat tapioca pudding out of the mouth of a boy. It was one of the most vile things I have ever seen. I think I am a worse person for having witnessed it.
It doesn't help that ever since watching The Bone Collector rats have really freaked me out. I know others are with me here- Jen?

The things that entertain some people dumbfound me.
I liked not having tv. Yeah- sometimes I got confused when people would talk about what happened on the apprentice, or discuss the desperate housewives drama by character name, but those situations were suprisingly few and far between. It is always nice to know things like when a storm is heading your way or that a new movie is supposed to be really scary before you agree to go see it with a friend. But is it really worth it?
No one should be subject to that kind of torture.
