A Brazilian judge awarded $2,600 in damages to a man who sued a store for not replacing his faulty television set, ruling that it was an "essential good" needed to watch soccer and a popular reality TV show. The customer took Casas Bahia, Brazil's largest furniture and home appliances retail chain, to court for "moral damages" inflicted by not being able to watch television.
"In modern life, you cannot deny that a television set, present in almost all homes, is considered an essential good," ruled the judge from Campos, a town north of Rio de Janeiro.
"Without it, how can the owner watch the beautiful women on 'Big Brother,' the national news broadcast or a football game," the judge quipped.
Brazilians are passionate soccer fans and are currently following the ninth season of the local version of the popular reality TV show "Big Brother."

MTV is the downfall of society. My boy just did a little "tour" down in Columbia and he was telling me that he truly had to spend time convincing people that American society was not reflective of MTV. He said they did not believe him. He also said it was a pretty embarassing experience...

I could live without tv. After a short time, you don't miss it anymore. Its absence makes you focus on more important things.

Now if we're talking about no internet, I'm out.

You(the ignorant one) ask me if i found some thing funny(when all i said was "BLAW HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH"). Therefor your ignorance lies in your ability to comprehend a response.

The word you are looking for is "inability".

You are right. I am competely ignorant when it comes to understanding what you say...and your thought process...and your grammar. I get it now. Thanks!

You're ignorant.

No, you are.

No way, you are.

You're way more ignoranter than me.

That's not even a word. It's ignorantal.

Whatever.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Now if we're talking about no internet, I'm out.I agree with you on the TV issue. When we turn off the TV in my house and all sit down to dinner we communicate. We learn all kinds of things about each other. No Tv is a good thing.
