Advertising (and station logo) bugs were the last straw for me a few years back. I stopped getting cable TV. (And, my rabbit ears pick up nothing in my current location, so I am essentially TV-less.) I haven't looked back, and I don't regret it a bit. There are a number of shows I can watch for free the next day on my computer, and a very tiny number of shows I might even pay a couple of bucks for on iTunes. Or, if enough trusted friends tell me it's a must see, I'll watch the DVDs a few years after the buzz has died down. It works great for me, even if it means I'm disqualified from a lot of "water cooler" conversations.
But that BUG thing. AAARGH! Of course I hate it. EVERYBODY hates it! So why does it persist? I thought the free market was supposed to vanquish sh!t that everybody agrees sucks. It just seems to get worse and worse.
Anyway, off the TV grid and happy.
