Sometimes I like to relax and unwind the day by sitting on the sofa and watching TV. This lasts for around 20 seconds until I realise that, despite there being approximately 20 gazillion channels there is literally fuck all on worth my time. When used actively as a movie screen or a games portal, the TV can provide hours of entertainment, but the traditional channels are the biggest wastes of money I regularly endure.
Yet I'm still forced by law to pay my £140 annual subscription for channels I don't want. Meanwhile an army of licence enforcement officers scan the frequencies looking for households not paying. With all that's going on in the world, surely our tax would be better spent elsewhere?

Every 5 minutes my TV tries to sell me something I don't need or want. At this point it increases the volume and tells me my mobile phone is shit and that I am poor, that there are much more beautiful people in the world than me and they are worth 'it'(shooting perhaps?). It's like a bad friend who's out to embezzle every penny I have and make me feel utterly worthless about everything.
Occasionally it entertains and surprises me but for the majority of the time I can safely say that the electricity would be better used to power a range of novelty electric candles.
