Choices on tv

We all makes hundreds of choices each day. Do we hit the snooze button or wake up when the alarm clock goes off? Do we want orange juice or coffee? Should we stop for gas now or later? Every single day.

This morning, there was a discussion on a morning show about a program that aired the last night. A program that millions of people watched. The morning panel seemed disgusted about the content of last night's program.

"Does America really want to watch that?"
"What are those people thinking putting that on tv?"
"They were so rude...."

Those were a couple paraphrased comments from this morning's show. But really. I didn't watch last night's program. I KNEW what was going to happen. That's why I didn't watch it.

But what's crazy is that this morning program was so disgusted by the show but still watched it? It's a CHOICE! You choose to set your tv to that program or not. If the content offends you, then change the station. Plain and simple. It just confounded me that these women were ragging on the show for minutes on end. They even showed CLIPS from this so-called horrible program. [snort] This boggled my mind. Some people watch Jerry Springer. Some people watched Geraldo. Some people watch Oprah. It's a choice.

So you ladies? If the program has stuff you don't like? CHANGE THE STATION!
