We Have So Many TVs, We're Throwing Them Off the Roof!
Because what could be more American than "disposing" of old TVs by throwing them off the roof? How about a free American flag with every purchase?!
TV Showing More Violence Against Women
I typically avert my eyes when graphic scenes flash across my television screen, so it boggles my mind that violence is such a celebrated form of entertainment. A new report from the Parents Television Council suggests that the prevalence of violence on TV is getting even more disturbing. The report reveals that violence against women and teen girls is up 120 percent, while violence shown on television general has raised by only two percent in recent years.
Cool Idea: An Easel as TV Stand
Since I don't watch much TV, updating my hefty idiot box to an ultra slim HD flatscreen is not very high on my list of priorities. But if I did own the latest and greatest in television technology, I would love to use an artist's easel as a stand, like this one featured in House Beautiful. Tech gadgets are always difficult to coordinate with décor, but that's especially true when your design scheme is earthy and traditional.
WiTV: Wireless Internet TV Gets Taken For A Test Drive
Considering the fact I spend three quarters of my day online (it's pitiful, but true), I'm trying to adjust to the idea of watching TV programs via the net rather than my standard couch potato/laptop in lap method. With services like Joost and networks such as ABC offering streamed shows online, TV on the net is definitely becoming more mainstream and enjoyable for the viewer. The latest addition to this growing trend is a cool new service called WiTV - "Wireless Internet TV"- which works via your web browser and includes features like an integrated chat system that allows you to talk via IM and Skype with other viewers.
Is the Food Television Industry Too Cheesy?
In what is becoming a disturbing trend, more and more celebrity chefs are hamming it up on screen and being made to look like cartoon characters. Take the beginning of Hell's Kitchen, for example. The cheftestants frolic around stupidly: one throws a giant animated tomato, another catches the tomato, and yet another slices the tomato in half with a larger-than-life animated knife.
Open House: What's Your Take on TVs in the Bedroom?
When I first moved in with my fiancé, he had a TV in the bedroom. Believe me, it was the first thing to move out when I moved in! I think that televisions have a time and place, and neither of those can be fulfilled in a bedroom.
Is This Super-Sized TV Remote For Real?
When I first saw this ginormos remote control, I thought it was a belated April Fool's joke. I assure you that this make believe looking remote is the real deal.
Sold on Amazon for $35, this huge remote is guaranteed to make TV navigation easy for the most technologically challenged individuals.
Flashback: Cheaters, the Most Trashtastic Reality TV Show Ever
Back in the day when I watched waaay too much television, I couldn't even justify it by saying I was watching the good stuff. If anything, I watched the worst television had to offer. Take Cheaters, the reality television show hosted by smarmy Joey Greco.
Are Cooking Television Shows Too Unrealistic?
In his blog on the New York Times, food journalist Mark Bittman makes the claim that food television — particularly cooking shows that teach a viewer how to make something — are too unrealistic. Unlike the real world, the chefs never make mistakes and each dish always comes out perfectly. He says: When you watch most celebrity chefs go to work on TV it is a) baffling and intimidating, and b) a charade.
TV Diet for Weight Loss
A sedentary lifestyle can lead to extra inches around the waist, so if you're trying to lose weight you need to increase your physical activities. One way to keep yourself off your couch is to put yourself on a TV diet. Restrict the amount of television you watch to 10 hours a week.
