"Watching TV Can Kill You..."

...so says the New York Times in this piece from its Health section.

Whadda ya tryin' to do? Scare away all our viewers?

So is it exposing yourself to such crappy programming that does you in? Or is it the time spent sitting on your backside that shortens your life expectancy? In which case...does sitting in front of the computer have the same effect.

Something for us bloggers to think about.
