Organized by the culture-jamming organization, Adbusters; this week – April 24th – 30th – is the official week for yanking the batteries out of the remote and spending some time on yourself and those around you. From the Adbusters web site…

Don’t think you’re addicted to TV? Then why not prove it by going cold turkey for a week? You’d be surprised how difficult it can be to disconnect – and what a profound week of self discovery it can be.

This coming summer will mark two years since I went TV-less and I’m loving it. Even though I was a child who spent much of his youth sucking on the glass teat, I’ve found a wonderful peace from unplugging from that part of our culture and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to all. Plus it’s always fun to watch the expressions on people’s faces when you tell them that you don’t watch TV any more. Some folks seem quite shocked that such a thing is possible.

Are there any other TV-less folk here?

Here’s more info from the Adbusters site on TV Turnoff Week.
