What's playing on your TV right now?

You gotta upgrade your video game system, brother.
The funny thing is, I HAVE!! My current Xbox360 is actually the fourth one I've had, with each prior one having the disc-drive stop working. Unfortunately with this one the warranty expired before it broke so I can only use it for the few games I have on the hard drive. And my PS3 went yellow, and the sound it makes when I turn it on sounds like the hard drive is shot. I could probably fix them without too much difficulty, but I lack the money for tools and parts to do so. But go figure, my NES that I've been playing for over 20 years still works, but I've yet to get one full year from a 360. But at least there are some great games that are still fun to play today, especially if you haven't played the in several years.
But my earlier prediction was right, and the TV is off.

Don't have a TV

Me neither. ^_^
I much prefer reading books instead.

If I do buy a TV it will be exclusively for the purpose of watching movies, although I might get a projector instead.

In fact, the only time I watch any TV at all is when I visit my mother about twice a year (she lives in another part of the country than I do), so excluding that I haven't watched TV for more than eight years.

How do you know what to think and buy without commercials telling you?

Like I said; I read a lot of books, books which contain any number of new ideas.
As for what to buy; I wait until I need something, and then I do a netsearch for whatever it is I want and find out where I can get it.
And then I buy it,

Simple. ^_^

Getting rid of the TV is one of the best moves I've done to be honest.

Some commercials make me wonder just how dumb the people making them are, or who dumb the people making them think we are. Like the Hardees commercials that portray models attempting to eat a sandwich that is much bigger than their mouths are. Or the McDonalds commercial that compares many things to an egg mcmuffin. Of which I am assuming the weather, the car, the science project, and other things mentioned in the commercials are of poor quality overall, isn't bad but really isn't good in terms of functions, and something that you would settle for because there isn't anything better to choose from.

I like those commercials where you have to get to the last 2 seconds just to get to that moment where you get to know what the whole commercial is for. 28 seconds of absolute nonsense that has absolutely nothing to do with said product that leaves you wondering "what the hell???" and then some slogan pops up and you get this look across your face like "really????"
