Getting back to the TV gods monitoring what you watch, i guess it comes down to privacy. More and more these days, your privacy is becoming easier and easier to violate.
I don't really care so much if the TV gods know what I watch, but I have often thought about the credit gods knowing exactly where I spend my money.
A couple years back I had a call from TD Visa who said that there had "been some unusual activity on my Visa card" and had I been writing any Visa cheques lately.
The answer was no, and as it turned out, someone had pinched my numbers since i still had the card in my wallet.
So somewhere some computer went, "hmmm, this guy usually uses his visa card at Italian Restaurants, Thai Restaurants, and gas stations. Now all of a sudden, he's writing visa cheques"
So to me, them knowing and tracking and keeping record of where i spend my money is somewhat cause for concern. I guess a run for prime minister would be complicated when word leaks out that I have used my Visa card to rent pornos, or visit the local massage parlour.
