| 88. My dentist's office has TVs right in front of all the dental chairs . . . |
|
When the assistant brought me into the exam room for the first time, I had her change the channel. She asked why and I told her that my medical doctor instructed me not to watch inaccurate news programs because they upset me too much. Now she does it without being asked. They still keep Fox on if you don't object. Some of the things my dentist says are a tad right wing so I don't think it's just happenstance.
Imagine being stuck in dentist's chair watching Fox News. AAAARRRUGH!!! Marathon Man meets Clockwork Orange.
|
| -The Sears store in our town had Fox News playing on half the TV sets in the electronics section. |

I think if half or more of the other TVs are counterpoint or entertaining... then it's ok. |
