We are fast approaching February the second. Which, as any long time readers will know, means that the topic for this week's post was suggested by my good friend Seth Rowe1. Previous examples can be found here and here2.
This year, when I asked Seth what he would like me to write about he asked me to have "a point-counterpoint blog about television. one pro-television and one anti-television3" that would span across two different blogs. I thought about it, considered who I would turn to to act as the second blogger4, thought about what I would say for each side of the argument, and then (in keeping with the birthday-blog tradition) took the idea and ran with it5.
Here's what I came up with. Happy Birthday Seth6.

It is probably not all that surprising, but my view on the issue is a combination of both of the main characters monologues. Hope you enjoyed my arts7.

5 Like in a good game of charades, taking ideas and running with them Jimmy Mann style is a cornerstone of this blog
