It starts with each one of us. We refuse to let those jerks into our homes, they'll eventually dry up and blow away.

Personally, since TCM has decided to suck lately, I am watching DVDs tonight. If it sucks again tomorrow, I'll be listening to good music. One of these days, I might even get a Netflicks account or see what movies I can stream on Amazon. Anything's better than "reality" shows on network TV. They all suck necrotic warthog balls.
