Are You A TV Addict?!
What made you think of this, Bonnee? The recent episode of [i]Lexx[/i] where they lounge about in some house in Ohio, watching the “viewscreen”? (lol)
Here’s a theory that I came up with a while ago; it’s just a feeling I have. The television is the replacement for the hearth or the stone-age campfire. A place around which a household usually gathers.
However, sick obsession with video happens. But I don’t think it’s as rampant as alcoholism. I have heard a story about a local woman who was truly mad. She had at least half dozen televisions and VCRs. She felt compelled to videotape everything. The rooms of her house were completely filled with videotapes. Apparently, they “took her away” to get help. (No joke, it’s a true story.)
