"TV Is Chewing Gum For The Eyes." Can you make your own clever motto on what TV is?

Asked by rebbel (35553points) September 14th, 2011

I saw this slogan this evening on a wall in a television studio, on tv.
According to one answer I found on the net, it means something like: “gum is not feeding you it is only keeping your mouth busy, in turn tv is only keeping your eyes busy.”
Can you make one that is witty, and/or clever?

TV is diarrhea.

I am incapable of being witty or clever.

TV is (for some parents) a babysitter who they don’t have to pay.

A place to disappear, and if you’re not careful, it will suck you in and you will never be seen from again!
Sort of like intranet, but without the keyboard.

TV is a vacation for your brain cells.
Does it have to be witty or clever?

Yes, unwitty and/or unclever will be modded down by the witmaster.
So far, so witty and clever!

An electronic coffin that you climb into yourself.

It’s like sticking syringes in your abdomen and then calling the paramedics to lecture them on plate tectonics to convince them to help find your cat in the crawlspace.

TV: If you can’t afford a life, you can watch somebody elses.

Television is a leaky tap. If you listen to it long enough, the dripping sound will drive you insane but, on the other hand, it can also be relaxing at times when you’re in the mood for it.

Television; why people just don’t masturbate anymore. Damn it, go masturbate!
