I think those of us above a certain age (perhaps 45) can remember when TV was full of such moments that became cultural icons.
Who of that age doesn’t remember certain events on TV: the assassination of Oswald on live TV…..the debut of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show…..the moment Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon’s surface and many others.
TV used to be a unifying cultural force. Alas, it no longer is, as we can see from this thread.
Of course worse for me than TV was that I couldn’t hear any pop music either. So when I was in the elementary school chorus, I was the only dick who didn’t know the words to ‘Kumbaya’. The director made the chorus sing it once so I could figure it out.

Um yeah, it’s not like anyone really watches porn for more than two minutes. TV will suck your brain out for hours at a time. It would be totally different if you sat in front of your TV watching porn for 3 or 4 hours a night, but who does that? Other than Rob I mean.
Lech, Family Guy rocks

What about researching communities and finding a house in Irvington?
“Oh actually I guess the Internet is for the OT, porn, news, and University lectures.”
I get all my news from the OT and I get all my University lectures from schoolgirl porn.
