Why I don't watch TV....

.....in great part because of some work my step-brother-in-law did for Lilly in developing "Cialis," actually.  Now, apparently, you can hardly watch the "Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" without having your kids ask you what a "four hour e*******" is.  Although I disagree with the American Academy of Pediatrics on many issues (especiually guns), I think they've got a point here; do kids really need to be exposed to the idea that a man must "be ready" for whatever opportunity to fornicate comes up?

(for that matter, I'd have to suggest that, given societal trends, it's not a terribly helpful thing for adults to hear, either)
It's also telling, in my opinion, that the image the article provides is of a relatively young couple; not a grey hair appears.   It would seem that decades of worship of the idiot box is leading to people in their thirties and forties helping out my step-brother-in-law's stock options and bonuses. 

I hope he'll forgive me for taking the idiot box out to the garage.  It just isn't worth it.
