Tv clicker does strengthen magical thinking, if you turn on a Harry Potter film.

Or fuckin vampires, or whatever is the current shit on the tv these days.
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

Shrodinger's remote control. It changes the channel before you've made up your mind.
