Great bit HERE: re annoying assholes who love to go out of their way to tell you they don't own a tv.
But besides the gentle insinuation that this makes them better than you, it's not as if they're spending their days and nights parsing John Locke, or teaching orphans algebra for free. They're watching movies, or, even better, tv shows, on their computers, they're forwarding Funny or Die videos to their buddies etc etc. In other words, they're doing the same thing anyone watching tv is: staring at a screen being entertained. Just because it's on a tv doesn't HAVE to mean it's beneath anyone. Yes, if you're watching The Real Housewives of Jersey Shore or whatever, you're an idiot. But there's as much great stuff on tv as bad stuff, so if you're such an intelligent, highbrow person you can easily find it. Generally, if anyone goes out of his way to brag about not owning tv, they're full of shit.
