Blah. "The data suggest to us that the TV habit may offer short-run pleasure at the expense of long-term malaise."
Well I will ALWAYS have long term malaise as I struggle with long-term depression and anxiety. Watching 2-3 hours of TV a week gives me at least a short-run pleasure away from life where everyday is a struggle to exist. It doesn't cause unhappiness for me - it offers a short respite from a life already darkly coloured.-Ella
