It is ironic that Voom's last week of service coincides with "National TV Turn-off Week (http://www.soundvision.com/info/misc/tvchallenge.asp)".
I will celebrate TV Turn-off Week next week after Voom is dead, and for all foreseeable weeks...
Snippet from the article:
TV Turn-Off Week: Take Up The Challenge
by Sound Vision Staff Writer
I've decided to take up the challenge.
April 24 until April 30 is TV Turn-off week.
The aim of TV Turn-off week is to reduce the amount of television Americans watch and to focus on activities that watching television displaces like reading, creativity, productivity and healthy physical activity.

I plan to turn on VOOM as much as possible being it's their last week of existence as we know it. Hell, I'll even down a 6-pack each night, take up smoking and eat plenty of red meat while I'm at it. :rolleyes:

Enjoy that six pack because when you turn on the TV next week, after looking at the picture, your going to think you already have been drinking.

If your picture starts to look good, it might be a good time to quit or well, maybe not ;)
