Couch potato 老看电视的人0 K: X1 i y" _" j
7 g8 a$ M0 T/ v9 U6 mWhy should I go out to see a movie or a concert---it is a lot more comfortable to stay at home. I have cable TV, which gives me a choice of 30 different programs. Why, I can see a championship fight right in my living room. Or I can rent a good movie for a couple of bucks and watch it on my VCR. p* R/ n/ h/ }$ I. z/ s f

Hey, there’s always something to do there for us mall rats. At least a dozen fast food places where we can buy a burger, a slice of pizza, ice cream---whatever. Ten different movie theaters, and a whole lot of people to watch, you know? I can, like, spend the whole day there, you know?: ~- a; H4 P8 B( G0 O3 v7 }
