Plus books have no commercials.
Seriously, this is one of my biggest gripes with TV. A study by Harvard Sociologist Juliet Schor found that every hour of TV you watch per week, on average, increases the amount of money you spend by $208 a year, controling for income and a bunch of other factors. So someone who watches an average of 14 hours a week (2 a day) spends $2912 more a year then someone with the same income who watched no TV.
It deadens your mind and then indoctrinates you into our national religion of commercialism.
