Under the category of "Stuff That's Wrong On Many, Many Levels" ...

"All the great media adventures of the 20th century have been visual. Television, movies, the Internet, they're all visual mediums and I don't think people have time to sit down and read."
-- Ed Needham, the new managing editor of Rolling Stone magazine.

1. And what, pray tell, is a book? Is it not a "visual medium"? Last time I checked, it was fairly difficult to read standard text if you weren't able to see.
2. If you have 2 hours a night to watch television, it would stand to reason that you could use those same 2 sedentary hours to read a book.
3. Bah. Grumble. Dammitall.
