The writers strike has finally angered me. At first I thought it was great, "yeah, stick it to the studio." Now, as a television viewer, I am getting tired of re-run city. Usually, I am the first to advocate turning off the TV. I drone on to my wife, "Lets play some video games, or watch a movie or fucking sit and stare at a blank television screen like some avant garde experiment." However, the more I think about it, the more I realize that without viewers like you and me, neither the studio nor the writers would have a job.
So, I propose that we as viewers strike from watching television. This is a great opportunity for Americans to speak up. If the writers' union has power to negotiate a better financial deal, we as viewers have power to change television content, crap-vertising, billing, etc... We are the ones paying to watch old content. Why not cut the cable and use your money to purchase the DVD season of your favorite shows. I personally pay over $100 bones a month for the latest and greatest that satellite has to offer. Over the course of 2 or 3 months I could invest in various content and create my own television programming and avoid being subjected to another f**king pharmaceutical ad that claims to finally fix my aliment at the cost of anal leakage, dry mouth, and mild hysteria.
CUT THE CABLE!!!!!!!!!(shacking fist in air)

That's actually...a really good idea!
Thanks! Surprisingly I have received mixed reactions to this idea. Most feel that this approach does not support the writers which I don't get it.
