In this online opinion piece, "Please Stop Screaming At Me" the author, "GE MODEL 19GT270" humorously asserts a claim about how maybe people in general take out their frustration on TV and that maybe people should do something other than watching TV all the time. The author supports his claims by personifying the TV. But he supports his first by showing many points in which the TV suffers being yelled at, or as previously mentioned, having the owner take its frustrations out on it by throwing a burrito for a horrible DVD the owner rented -- as it was obviously not the TV's fault and, if anyone's, it should be the DVD's fault. He again supports his first claim by saying the owner snaps the TV's remote control out of angry due to a golf matching being watched. The author supports his second claim, that people should not watch TV all the time, by having the TV suggest the owner going out more, or at least, doing something that doesn't always involve the television. The TV humorously adds that it has "been on every day for at least a year".
Clarification Question:
Why is that some people feel the need to carry their frustrations about what they see on TV on their TV?
Application Question:
Do you ever find yourself doing this? Do you maybe get angry at your TV when you lose a game? Or pissed when a sports match isn't going the way you want it to?
