Replying to read a book or watch a movie?

why do 'they' say that reading a book is better than sitting down and watching tv or a movie?

someone somewhere fucked up big time on this one. i mean, think about it - a large majority of the books you read are fictional novels, so you're not really learning anything... it's not like reading is good excercise... you're just sitting on a couch for a long time.

and yea there are books that you can learn something off of if you read, but there are also educational tv shows and movies out there as well...

so next time your mom tells you to get away from the damn tv and go read a book or something - beat her up.... or something.
