________
The Twenty-Third Channel
The TV is my shepherd, I shall not want.
It makes me to lie down on the sofa.
It leads me away from the Scriptures.
It destroys my soul.
It leads me in the paths of sex and violence for the sponsor’s sake.
Yea, though I walk in the shadow of my Christian responsibilities,
There will be no interruption, for the TV is with me.
Its cable and its remote control, they comfort me.
It prepares a commercial before me
In the presence of my worldliness.
It anoints my head with humanism.
My coveting runneth over.
Surely laziness and ignorance shall follow me all the days of my life
And I shall dwell in the house watching TV forever.

That was good food for thought (even if a bit dated, as it’s far worse now!). I for one watch way too much TV. I bought a Smart TV, but it really isn’t.
I'm going to have to share that one!
