Viewing Your Own Doom

Via this article I learn that a study released in the journal of the American Heart Association shows that spending time watching television increases a person’s chances of dying. (Everybody has a 100% chance of dying. I presume they mean an increased chance of dying sooner rather than later.)

“Researchers found that each hour a day spent watching TV was linked with an 18% greater risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, an 11% greater risk of all causes of death, and a 9% increased risk of death from cancer.”

And this isn’t true only of people who sit around watching television until they are obese and ill. It’s everybody.

In my opinion, this is not nearly fast enough.  I recently turned on “The Bachelor” and wanted to die after only five minutes.
