I finally decided to make the switch after several people at work have requested it. I am moving my blog to WordPress @ http://petpeeving.wordpress.com. There are a lot of things I like about both blog platforms. There is also a lot of functionality I will miss that Blogger offers.
Anyway, I will get the domain switched over soon, but until then you may want to use the link above to read my latest post and comment.
I think Americans hate TV
We American's love television right? Whether we are watching it or not watching it, doesn't it always seem like it is on at home? If a room has a television in it, how long does it usually take for someone to turn it on? I dare say, not very long. It's like glutton saying, "if the Twinkie is on the counter, it needs to be eaten." If there is a t.v. in the room how many of you feel like it has to be on?Okay, on with criticism aspect. Our awesome boss just upgraded the lunchroom with a nice new television (there was no television before). When you go in there now, the TV is always on. That's fine because we all love TV, right?
Right and...well...wrong! Why do I say wrong? Whether it is here or anywhere else that a room of TV loving Americans gather around a television (that is always on), most of the conversation in that room will be criticizing and making fun of what is on. Do we love our television only so we can criticize everything we watch.
Test my theory. The next time you are watching TV with a group, take note of the amount of criticism that takes place compared to positive comments. My personal experience was three days in a row, three different channels, and three different distinct groups, all ended up criticizing what they were watching. Americans have a love/hate relationship with television.
Am I wrong?
