I pay $112.00 a month for Dish Network Satellite TV but I still have to sit through 15 minutes of TV Commercials for every half hour of programming and on top of that the TV commercials are loud as hell.  So basically I’m paying to be annoyed. Did I mention that of the 400+ channels I receive I only watch three? CNN, Discovery and History. When I called and asked if I could just pay for the three channels they told me to go fly a kite so I’m stuck paying for a lot of crap I don’t use.

To be fair to Dish Network I believe the same can be said for most TV no matter who your service provider is. I bet if Americans agreed to quit watching for a week we could force the programmers to change their evil ways but what are the chances of Americans ungluing themselves from the tube for more than a few hours? Not a chance, they have us where they want us. Fat dumb and glued to the couch.

Tonight I start my personal protest. No TV for a month. I’ll let you know how it goes.
