Researchers: Homes have more TVs than people

this headline was straight off cnn.com....

NEW YORK (AP) -- The average American home now has more television sets than people.
That threshold was crossed within the past two years, according to Nielsen Media Research. There are 2.73 TV sets in the typical home and 2.55 people, the researchers said.

i hate to admit it but chris and i fall under this headline. it wasn't planned, it wasn't intentional, but it's true. for a month, we even had 4 tvs in our little condo. and yes, they were all functioning - none were broken. funny enough, we have 3 cable outlets, so one just sat unused. that tv has since moved over to my parents' condo for storage.

it actually does makes sense for us to have 2 tvs....we rarely watch the same tv programs, so at least we don't argue over "tv time". the 3rd tv was leftover from when i lived at my parents' house. it's actually my tv, so i don't want to part with it. we also have the ps2 hooked up to the tv in our bedroom. i think it's just the convenience of being able to watch tv wherever you are.

apparently i can't get enough tv. well, i'm off to watch days of our lives :-)
