You want to know the real purpose of TV? It's not to sell us dumb products (though advertisers do), it's not to let the government brainwash us, it's this. America is fat, and TV lets America be entertained and fat at the same time. You want to know how I know that? Because the TV dinner was rated one of the top 100 inventions of the 20th century.
People like entertainment. America likes food. It's a match made in heaven. It is because the best way to eat your quarter-pounder with cheese is by mindlessly watching How I Met Your Mother while you're doing it. How do I know this? Because I do it on the daily! Do you know how much less I would be enjoying my fatty meals if I had an ACTIVE source of entertainment. "Hey Jack pass me the ball after I take this bite!" How awful would that be? You eat, you be active, you cramp up, you throw up, and then you rinse and repeat.
If it were not for TV's mesmerizing glare that kills your vision over time what would we be doing while we're eating? Talking to our loved ones? That's ridiculous unless we're talking about how bad the new Two and a Half Men is.
So there's the purpose of TV. To keep America fat, happy, and the maker of TV dinners in business.
