I certainly wouldn't put ANY stock in anyone who doesn't even own a television. No, I don't own a television. It immediately implies someone is inferior. In my book, it's the guy without the TV, but somehow he comes out on top. Television is cool.
Television is hip.
I love it. I live for every moment I am in front of my television. I'd love for Mr. Nielsen to knock on my door and take me away from all my troubles. I also met someone who doesn't drink anything carbonated. I can understand the Coke vs. Pepsi debate.
