Admittedly I tend to dislike quite a few things and people, but there's
one and only one that I truly hate, the mind-numbing and brain-killing
gogglebox. And that goes for it's newer clones as well.

I am a critical reader but movies and visuals bypass your critical
faculties and directly affect emotions and perception. They're
unspeakably dangerous. I'm one of the few luck ones who even in the
sixties were able to grow up in a home without TV and have not got one
and will not ever get one.

Have you ever once really watched a child in front of the box? The
trance they fall into is terrifying to see unless you are completely
dulled already.
