Wasted Viewing

Tonight, while watching a show about Big Cats on Animal Planet, I saw an advertisement that informed me that there is now a Golf Channel. This got me to thinking, "hmmm, golf, 24/7". Is there really that much about golf that I want to know? Do I need a channel dedicated only to golf? Am I paying for this among the dizzying volley of channels on the menu?

It seems there is a channel for just about all interests: The Soap channel; GOD TV; Spike TV for Men; Lifetime for Women; Noggin for the kids; BET if you're black; Court TV if you're a lawyer; QVC if you're a shopper; Nick at Nite if you're an insomniac and the list goes on. Are you an old movie buff.. then there is the AMC movie channel or TV Land for old TV. There are channels for Cooking; walking your dog; talking Klingon; taking a safari; planning your financial portfolio; wearing make-up; learning to decorate and selling your home.

But seriously folks.. GOLF TV?

As I turn off the TV and open up the Laptop I ponder what channel would best suit me and my wasted viewing preferences.. and I decide I waste most of my TV viewing time while watching all of the channels as I surf the remote and complain about having to pay for my 100 plus channels and there is not a blamed thing on!

It is the best form of exercise. After all going from one channel to the next keeps those pinkies in the pink.

I hate golf. I live four blocks from a golf course too :) Why cant I live four blocks from a rifle range?
