This also applies to academics who sit around all day compiling reports and statistical analyses.

Hmyeah.. I think this theory actually applies to everything in the end...tv, reading, geeking, smoking,shagging, even kissing and sporting and talking!!! maybe they just don't know what to invent anymore to scare people!

Aussies are different than the rest of us. They have this whole HD Tv/dreamtime connection that ages them quickly. After the age of 50 they began falling asleep at the set and dreaming weird stuff into existence, That just takes a toll on a person.

Since I used to spend years watching television AND smoking, I can only assume that I am not here and am a figment of my own imagination.

Of course, the most dangerous thing is to watch a TV that is smoking.

After a quick calculation I think I died two years ago!
Hmmm might need to check my figures.

If you think about it, every hour of doing or not doing anything shortens our lives, because it spends an hour of whatever time we've got.





...Sorry, that was unnecessarily deep.

But I know the solution.

Is the second most dangerous thing to smoke a TV that is watching?

The most stupid thing anyone can do, that do not smoke cigarettes, is smoke weed whilst watching TV. Getting high and watching TV must be the ultimate....

"Man, did you see that flower blooming ... it liked, just.. opened, man. Far out man. That Attenborough man, man.. he's a man's man, man."

or

"Hey, Mr.TV.... share this joint man... its good stuff man.."

I'll stick to cigarettes, cricket, football and keeping as many of my brain cells as possible.

Oo... I don't know what these people put in their joints mister Carter but I'm curious...

anyway technically even the use of our mandibles is "shown" to shorten or life or so they say...

and carefull with sports on tv because abused and especially combined with alcohol is extremly dangerous for brain cells too

AH!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Anyone worried that they are losing precious time watching TV, relax. Here is how you can make up for it : simply watch "Friends." I guarantee the time will stretch - in fact, each episode you watch will seem interminable.....
