From, Stuff White People Like:

“The number one reason why white people like not having a TV is so that they can tell you that they don’t have a TV…though these people often fill their time by talking with other friends who don’t watch TV about how they don’t watch TV, looking at leaves, cooking, reading books about left wing politics, and going to concerts/protests/poetry slams.”

I was at a BBQ last night listening to a friend relate how she’s just finished watching every episode of Lost, Grey’s Anatomy and is working her way through the 1st season of Heroes. But then finished up her enthusiam for Heroes (which I share) by mentioning that she doesn’t own a TV (I gave her props, “Oh that’s great…me either!”)…so how does she consume her favorite media? She watches it all on her laptop (via iTunes).

A-ha! How fantastic is it to have technology provide us with an ability to continue to claim not owning a television but still reap all the benefits of keeping up on your favorite shows?! Brilliant. Only drawback? It’s a small screen…so I rig my lappy up to a projector…that way it’s still not technically a TV and I retain my non-TV-owning bragging rights.
