Unemployment Television

Definition.

The name given to the hours of tv when no one should be watching, namely 3am.

Obviously the name derives from the fact that anyone with a job or someone who attends school should be asleep and not watching the garbage that permeates the airways at these hours.

An interesting note to make is that during these hours, the likelihood of an error happening with a broadcast signal is infinitely more likely to happen.

First used by Rebeltaxi in his video “Top 10 Worst Animated Songs”

television

The early 21st century drug of choice. A shared illusion, making its addicts think they have friends, a life, access to good information, and the critical thinking skills to form valid opinions. Fatal in large doses.
Paul spent the day eating Cheetos and watching Television, then had a light heart attack in the evening.

Black Entertainment Television

Also known as Black Exploitation Television. A poor representation of Black people in society; a glorification of big booties, gold teeth, tha projects and crack heads, pimps and hoes, and relentless violence. An utter disgrace, but it sells.

parent's television council

A conservative organization that monitors the content of television shows in order to determine which ones are okay to let their children watch. While many complain that they are trying to infringe upon free speech, they are actually performing a very valuable service. You can figure out how good any given show is by how low they rate it.
I learned that 'Family Guy' is a really good show based on the very low rating that the parent's television council gave it.
