How easy to come, jump on the badwagon and slag TV. Not all of America, or the world for that matter, spends their day eye-locked to a computer monitor, navel-gazing away at how wired they and their blogroll are. The people who get off on bagging on TV simply don't watch the right stuff. Apart from the utter deluge of bad TV, there's a ton of fascinating stuff on TV. Since, we're likely talking less about TV worth watching and more about TV worth spending your mrketing dollar on, I'll note there still a ton of great, targeted places on TV to get eyeballs. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I read things like this post's quote, and the thing about the dipshit landlord needing to blog, and I infer that the internet is the solution being offered. I'm not buying that the world is as internet-focused as people who spend all day cruising blogs seem to think. Wow. How easy to come, jump on the badwagon and slag TV.
