Why does everyone get so wrapped up in TV, the media and news and all the negativity around?

Eurgh! I can not stand politics...I hate talking about politics, i don't like knowing about it, i want eff all to do with it. I don't like the news, i don't like TV, i don't like negativity (I know everything i have just said can be seen as negative, but im just saying)...I don't have a TV, i barely watch TV, i like my laptop and radio...And i try to be as productive with my laptop as possible...I love learning new things. Most stuff on TV is a load of repetitive bullcrap! Why i must ask, do people insist on having a giant TV/box planted in the corner of the room and spend a lot of time watching it? People get so wrapped up in soaps and series as if its real life. Why? It baffles me...

Nah im joking...Mad aint it...I mean, makes me laugh, people were once happy with a radio for the whole house, then a crappy little black and white box, then a tri colour TV, then a heavy lump of a box...Then a fancy skinnier one...Now these anorexic massive flat things that take up half a wall! I mean, she should of just got a projector screen! Lol. Or not bothered getting anything at all...
