Nice idea, this week thingie!
I never turn on the TV, but my girlfriend watches some - so I'm kindof forced to at least listen to the crap coming from it. I love movies though, so if there's a nice movie on TV, I'll watch it.

As for the internet;
I think it's in a whole other league. You can waste your time watching stupid flash cartoons or playing some online RPGs or something, but you can do so much more. I find it so ironic when people say "he's always sitting by his computer" ... and they're sitting on their couches watching one-way shit from the screen. People tend to think that sitting in front of a PC automatically means gaming. They're just clueless. I design websites (and other graphic design + coding) for a living, so I'm stuck to this screen anyway. One learns what one can do, while others think all you buy an expensive computer for is email and games. Silly people.

EDIT: Sorry for the offtopic, back to the "TV Turn Off Week". Heh.
