Who thought TV could be this much fun?
Television Sacrifice improves your health:
- at the point of contact of weapon and television tube, endorphins will be released into the bloodstream, reducing stress and alleviating aggression.
- aiming the weapon will improve your hand to eye co-ordination
- whereas watching television will increase your levels of zombification, smashing television actually stimulates thinking and interaction with other humans.
