SHE OBVIOUSLY THOUGHT ELVIS HAD A GOOD POINT: Here's a heartwarming story about a 25 year old woman in Berlin, Germany, who, enraged over yet another night of crappy television, picked up her TV and pitched it out of her fifth-floor apartment window.
I hope she doesn't take this the wrong way, but that's almost an American thing of her to do. The scene I picture in her house is reminiscent of the original opening to SCTV, maybe accompanied by a curse of "Dammit, not more David Blaine coverage!" Or maybe it was a Yanni concert; that always seems to put the trouble into me.
Anyway, this is why I've been trying to read more. When you pitch a book out a window, you don't have to pay $100-200 to get a new one.
