Do you have Satellite TV?? You must be a guy....

I got into a "debate" the other day. Basically it wasn't so much as to if it was true or not but as to why it may be true....Has anyone else ever noticed that men are WAY more likely to have satellite tv vs. women? I have zero statistical evidence of this...but i don't know any girl that has anything but cable tv. Why is that? Guys i'd say are more 50/50 when it comes to them having satellite or cable....it's like talking about pizza...it's good no matter what it is. But women? Nope..can't think of a single one that likes it..in fact, most that i've talked to will usually have a disparraging comment about it when they have the chance to 'slide it in'.

I have satellite tv. i like it. I like cable too. I really like the on demand thing thru comcast. However, the MAIN and really the ONLY reason i have satellite is for sports. I LOVE my nfl sunday ticket package. Love it. If that wasn't around, i'd be on cable still. Cost wise, i'm just a little cheaper for satellite vs. cable..nothin' big..just a little.

Now...why don't women like satellite over cable? My guess is one of the following..again..i have no evidence to back this up...

cable is easier: Simple..and true. Why get something that has way more options and buttons that a) you don't need and b) you'd never use?

More familiar with it: Cable has been around longer..nothing wrong with it..why fix it?

How women watch tv is different from how guys watch tv: Guys flip...a lot..God knows I do..i can't sit still during a commercial if i can't flip thru 30 more channels at the same time..women don't do that as often...

Of course i'm generalizing this..i'd love to hear anyone else's thoughts...

Bottom line is..as it is in most things that i base my decision on : I love football to the point it makes financial decisions for me now

    It's late Friday and this is gonna be bad, REAL bad, but I'm writin' it anyway damnit. A reason:

    Women already get the "dish" gossipping behind each other's backs all day long... don't need it at home.

    ZZZZZIIIIIIIIIIIING

    Thank you, thank you. Look for me at your local comedy dive joint.

    You're right, Langdon, that was bad.

    While we're all making generalizations about the opposite sex, allow me to make this one.

    ALL men lack the censor on their brain that stops them from spouting off sexist crap.
