6166: Too Much TV And Talking.


Sad state of affairs in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…

• A new study shows there may be a connection between unhappiness and the amount of TV you watch. “People who are happy are more likely to engage in certain types of activities, like socializing with friends, having sex, reading newspapers,” said the lead researcher. “When we asked people who say they are unhappy how many hours of TV per day they watch, they were reporting 4, 5 and even 10 hours a day.” The totally despondent folks likely tend to watch lots of episodes of Mad Men.

• A bunch of Verizon wireless employees have been reprimanded for allegedly peeking at the cellphone records of Barack Obama. “We were notified yesterday that employees had accessed the records of an old cellphone no longer in use,” said an Obama aide. “No voice or e-mails were listened to or read.” Too bad. There were probably concession voice mails from Clinton, Palin and McCain.
