    Correlation is not causation. People who watch a ton of tv are likely lazier and have more unhealthy habits. The less healthy you are the easier it becomes to sit around doing nothing all day.

    In other words that headline is pretty shoddy work coming from CBS News.

What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?

          Yeah, I'm calling BS on this one too. There has to be a correlation of over a certain amount of TV a day possibly... I'd buy that.

                  Just as I thought lots of guys watching 12-16 hours of television a day not willing to accept the fact that this is not good for you.

                    the tv watching itself is not the problem, the problem is sitting on your ass for too long. if you are active and squeeze in hours of tv you're fine.

                        Another shit news story from a media outlet. Color me surprised! Where's the news segment about how sitting on your ass 8 hours a day at an office job adversely affects your health? Oh no we can't have the worker drones start buzzing with anger!

                        That being said I didn't have cable for years and I would get rid of it now but others in household just love to watch other people do things on the tube. I don't know how anyone can stomach 99% of the programs because I am bored 30 seconds in.

                                  Yeah, sure... but another study pointed out that if most of those hours were spent watching soft-core porn on Cinemax and Showtime, your life expectancy is increased 22 minutes per viewing hour.

                                  Plus it increases Johnson size 2.2 inches, so...

                                    I don't watch tv. Have owned my house for 12 years and have never had a working tv.

                                    I'll watch it when out and about or at the girfriends. Other than that, nothing.

                                      thats a bunch of BS just like the claim that the more you watch tv the worse your eye sight gets... As long as we're not sitting less than 15-20 cm from the screen we wont deteriorate our vision
