Shocking as it seems, not everyone watches TV. With the increase in mind-numbing commercials coupled with the dumbing-down of prime-time content, and the drool invoking repetition of nonsensical, yet not humorous, slogan spewing heads, it’s truly amazing that carriers receive payment for the hook-up. Shouldn't they be paying you?
Salesman: I’d like to offer you a package discount on services. I see you don’t have our TV service.
Human: Yes.
Salesman: Who is your current provider?
Human: No one.
Salesman: Who?
Human: We don't have a provider. We don’t watch TV.
Salesman: Don’t watch TV?
Human: No.
Salesman: I can offer you 220 stations with all your favorite shows and additional channels for just an additional $30 per month to your current services.
Human: No thank you. We wouldn’t use the service.
Salesman: May I ask why not?
Human: Because we don’t watch TV.
Salesman: Don’t watch TV?
Human: No.
Salesman: At all?
Human: No, not at all.
Salesman: (exasperated) Really?
Human: (giggle) Yes, really. But thank you for the offer. If I change my mind I’ll give you a call. Thank you for calling.
Salesman: Okay… thank you.
Often, a newly planted thought of life participation rather than observation is all a person needs to venture out into the world and do, rather than just watch.

*grin* we don't watch it either! I visit my Nana on Wednesdays (we do pizza ;p) and it's actually enjoyable to see adverts - they're such a novelty! But no more than once a week thanks :)
