I think it would do everyone good to stop spending time surfing the internet, watching movies/television so that they can spend time having their own life rather than observing the lives of others. That way we could spend our time criticizing ourselves rather than passing judgment on what we see in others. Right?

It's the economy, stupid. People have had to turn of their cable/satellite.

Many of the quality shows are being cancelled and replaced by substantially cheaper, lower quality shows that people watch once…and move on.

As a society we are conditioning ourselves to NOT watch TV as much as we used to because of this.

And to #4 you've already passed judgment on those that pass judgment, so welcome to the club. I think people should be able to spend their time as they see fit and not be held to someone else's standard of what is good or bad. Still, I respect where you are coming from.

If they're only counting regular television viewing no wonder there's a decline. Are they counting DVR and online viewing as well? Someone should tell them that the days of sitting down to watch a TV show at its regular time are long gone.

Criss Angel Responds To Recording Of Altercation! Says Producer Provoked Him!

There are two sides to every story! Here's his!

In light of the audio recording released yesterday that featured Criss Angel threatening to knock out one of his producers, the illusionist's attorney, Ken Woloson, has released the following statement:

"Criss Angel was in the process of firing Joe Safuto on Wednesday when Safuto became abusive and Criss asked him to leave. Criss decided to fire Safuto in response to repeated complaints from co-workers and other magicians about Safuto's abusive and violent behavior and general ineptitude. Witnesses have attested that there was no physical contact and that Safuto very clearly was the antagonist. The audio released to the media is a snippet of a much longer conversation. We are exploring legal action against Mr. Safuto, including for his defamatory and illegal conduct."

Ouch! Sounds like he means business!

Give the clip a listen again (above)!

It DOES certainly sound like Angel was provoked! But enough to respond like he does?

What do U think?? Who's really at fault here??
