I love my media because:

10.) Top ten lists wouldn’t really exist without it.
9.) It allows me to be a general manager for a (fantasy) NFL franchise.
8.) It keeps the public informed on things local, state, and international governments wouldn’t necessarily want us to know about, and I enjoy sticking it to the Man.
7.) I can get “Rick Rolled”.
6.) It ensures that those who have brilliant ideas don’t just keep them to themselves.
5.) Anything I ever need to know I can find out on a supercomputer that fits in my pocket.
4.) I’m able to communicate with friends and strangers anywhere at anytime.
3.) It gives my otherwise dull life things to be joyful (college football) and pissed off (the unexplainable success of Ke$ha) about.
2.) Other people are funny/stupid/both, and thanks to media I can speak my mind about it.
1.) I don’t know a life without media, I never have, and I never will. It consists of everything around me.
