The Groupon Guide to: Enjoying Television
Compared with antiquated entertainments, such as reading and conversing, watching television is a colorful way to enjoy celebrity-dancing stimuli. Here's a guide to getting the most out of your picture box:
- Invest in a remote control. You can throw it at the screen when something bad is on instead of getting up to punch the TV.
- Even boring programs will be broken up by fun, tiny shows called "commercials."
- Though only PBS has the gall to advertise it, it's acceptable to call any station and give them money.
- It's not illegal to do something if a TV character does it first.
- Your television should be large enough for you to be buried in.
