Guest Post By: Oliver Spicer

One of my biggest pet peeves– of which I have many – is the general inaccuracy of the television media. This is, of course, the only media an ignorant blue collar boy from B-Veg ever consumes.  We don’t read papers, we don’t listen to radio, we watch television.

My Life Without Cable

By Andrew

Making matters worse, the directions are ambiguous and our attention spans do not have the capacity to decipher culinary code come dinner.
