I was going though some stuff I had dropped into a folder on my iMac and came across this cartoon I snagged from the Sheldon Comic Strip Daily Webcomic by Dave Kellett. This simple cartoon made me chuckle at myself as I realized how many times I have sat and watched something on TV (with commercials) that I own on DVD, but was too lazy to get of the shelf and load into my DVD player! And, I don't know if I am the only one who thinks this, but I find some sort of satisfaction in watching something that I know others are watching at the same time... even if they aren't watching it on the same TV as me!

The Sheldon Comic Strip Makes Fun of Me!

Why do we do that? When I own a DVD, I rarely watch the movie. When the same movie I own is on TV, I'll instantly stop what I'm doing and watch it. Why? I could be watching the same program commercial-free 24 hours a day. Plus, I could be watching it from the beginning and not starting halfway through with parts cut out of it and expletives deleted or changed.
