TV is ok as long as they are broken

The big problem these days is that kids are overweight, people blame TV all the time and video games for the kids not being active. Well I feel like I watched a lot of TV as a child, I'm not overweight and I think I know why. Because the TV I had didn't really work. I mean I could watch the shows I wanted to, but when it came to watching consistantly it wasn't the best machine. The thing was there was no remote, so if we sat too far away we couldn't change the channel except with a big long stick, but with this stick we had to lean out and reach and put my body in strenous positions because the stick wasn't all that light and you had to be able to have muscle control on your arm to aim it at the up and down CH button. The other thing was it went out into scratchy black and white almost every fifteen minutes. this required me to go up to it and hold onto it with my left hand and proceed to smack it with my right, now these were hard smacks, enough to wake the person in the room next door late at night. But you almost always had to smack it for abour 20 seconds, and if the timing of the "fuzz out" was just right, like the 9th inning of the 1991 world series, then the hitting of the TV was a sweaty endeavour, my hands would ache and my arm would get tired in an attempt to view the last inning. I think this is what kids need, they can still watch TV a lot, but the can do groove thier body for 10 minutes a day by smaking the hell out of the TV. It could even have a spokesman to pitch it like George Foreman, it could be the George Foreman bitch smacking TV. He could demonstrate on a infomercial. wouldn't that be great, The world would be skinnier and we could hear a lot more from a guy who named all 6 of his kids the same name. Lets go out there and do it America, lets do it for the children.
