Thanks @mwanjo for running this competition.

Watching TV is a stupid waste of time.

1. Most shows are junk, yes some are very entertaining and even educational, but these are the exception and not the rule
2. TV is not interactive. You cannot ask the TV questions and the TV doesn't care for your response. Talking to the TV is really stupid.
3. You can read faster than you can watch tv if obtaining knowledge is your aim. Online videos can be paused.
4. TV is very limited for most people subjecting you to propeganda, single opinions and useless information.
5. Watching TV is a passive activity, societies in general are becoming lazy and over weight, this isn't good
6. TV isn't good for your eyes
7. TV watching is anti-social, which can lead to depression
8. Many of the better programs cost money, so free TV is usually bad and filled with time wasting ads
