I need to get with the times. It seems like no one watches live television anymore. People use TIVO or DVR, or they just watch DVDs. As a result, it’s getting hard to saturate people’s minds with political advertising. Maybe all that TV money will move to the internet and people can actually make a living writing again. That would be nice. How do you watch television? Do you filter out the advertising? I mainly deal with advertising by going into a stupor for three minutes where my brain doesn’t process anything my eyes are seeing. When someone comments on an advertisement that has just played on the television, I usually have no idea what they are talking about. Maybe that’s why I haven’t felt any compulsion to get TIVO. I would like to lower our bills. All I really want is CSPAN, cable news, PBS, and some sports channels. I can do without everything else, even though I enjoy some of the Showtime and HBO programming.
