do yourself a favor
If you don't own a TV, go buy one. This way you'll never be tempted to unnecessarily mention that you don't own a television, preventing everyone else from thinking you're a supercilious jackass.
If you don't own a TV and are able to refrain from relating this fact, then, uh, carry on.
TO CLARIFY: You don't have to watch it, of course. That's your call. But by owning a television, most attempts to proudly explain your aversion to the medium will become so bogged down in qualifiers that they'll never escape your lips. This will be well worth the $19 investment.
ALSO: Obligatory Onion reference.

That sounds like the opinion of someone who owns a TV. You know that shit rots your brain, right?
Hah... yes, it's true. I'm actually just protecting whatever prestige is associated with this January's large capital outlay.
You TV-abdicaters need to just have faith that the tales of your sacrifice are being passed down among the rest of us. Believe me, they are -- I knew you didn't have a TV! And, because you don't make a point of mentioning it, your legend has grown.
But it's all undercut when someone makes a point of mentioning it. It's like vegetarianism: there's a right and a wrong way to spread the word.
Totally diagree. Mentioning this as often as possible is quite necessary, even mandatory
