Heath Row's Kill Your TV Movement


I like stuff at this site. Check it out. Here's my kill-your-tv suggestion. My girlfriend in Maine has a bunch of kids and when her two boys were teenagers and seemed completely ZOMBIE-GLUED to the TV one summer, she came up with a great solution.

She offered to let them take the TV into the woods and shoot it with shotguns. It was an irresistible offer. No more TV at their house. I don't recommend this for city dwellers.

Also, per Heath's link about TV making teenagers more violent in Nature, I don't think teaching them to shoot the idiot box addresses this concern.
