One less viewer (or not)
In the case of the Long Island man who died a year ago but whose body was discovered this week sitting in front of his television set, one wonders if Nielsen would’ve counted him as a viewer the whole time he was deceased. After all, the set was running.
It gives new meaning to the whole “running in the background viewing” meme.
(To quote George Carlin, “These are the kinds of thoughts that kept me out of the good schools.”)
