Top 10 reasons why the tv is better than the computer

Okay. It's like, an age old debate, which is the superior piece of technology? The tv, or the computer? Well, I'm gonna put it down on paper, and my new girlfriend can type it up and submit it for me later.

  1. Tvs have less buttons. Particularly if you use a universal remote. Just LOOKING at all those keys on a computer keyboard makes me feel sick.
  2. Tvs are easier to use. On. Off. Change the channel. Sound. Plug in the playstation. Computers have, like, MENUS. And who can be bothered doing all that reading?
  3. Tvs are less interactive. You don't have to select things on a tv, except the channel. There's not all these stupid blinking lights and crashes and stuff. SO much more relaxing.
  4. When you play games on a tv the controller comes to you. Why should I go and sit up at a desk when I can crash back on the couch with the playstation controller? No seriously, why?
  5. Tvs don't burn your crotch when you pass out with them on your lap. Man, my mate had a few too many one night and fell asleep with his laptop on his lap. He was red for weeks... Who needs that shit?
  6. Tvs are less like work. Computers are like, what people use to do WORK. Gross. Who wants that shit?
  7. You don't have to go looking for things on tv - they're there or they're not. Searching the internet is a massive hassle, and there is just SO many more things to find, and get bored reading. But tv, you know, if a show's on, it's on.
  8. You don't have to sit up to use a tv. Why shouldn't I spend all day on the couch?
  9. The dole doesn't force you to register on the tv. The dole office reckon I should do things on the internet. Gross. It just gives them another excuse to cut me off, and tell me I'm doing things wrong, AND they can SEE WHAT I'M DOING.
  10. The CIA can't watch you through the tv. It's like, the government are seriously out to get EVERYBODY. So it's best to stay indoors, watch tv, eat two minute noodles, and stay away from satellites and the internet. They can like, arrest you for pirated movies and music and shit. Scary.
