Wanna hear somethin' weird? I do not have television. Whew!
That's an icebreaker.
Seriously. I have a television set, but I leave all the TV stuff I can't live without to Youtube for three reasons: 1. No commercials. 2. All temptation to be a couch potato and lose brain cells over wasteful TV melodrama is gone and 3. No cable bill.
Face it, if you thought about it, you could do it too. I like to think I'm an intense "media" consumer, but I've been without TV for 4 years now. The beauty is that I don't even have to use other websites like ABC or CNN to get my missed shows and news, because I can view it all on Youtube and it's easier. Not to mention, I can save all my videos and watch re-runs of them later. Some may view it as a hassle, because you may have to watch (longer than 10 minute programs) in separate clips, but whatever... patience is a virtue.
I have seen old movies, documentaries, biographies, speeches, music videos, famous old news packages, original music/video compilations, instruction videos, etc. on Youtube and while some suck, the majority are pretty cool and if nothing else... you will laugh your ass off!
If you haven't checked out Youtube or if you have and haven't seen these videos, then check 'em out. Here are some I've enjoyed:
1. Remember 1963? Young or old it doesn't matter.
2. Les Miserables.
3. Al Pacino.
4. Miss South Carolina answers question WRONG.
5. Guitar Hero.
6. Dane Cook Skit.
