I don't happen to believe that TV is the devil, but I'm also not surprised by these findings, even if, a the article notes, the cause and effect is somewhat unclear (do unhappy peopel watch more TV or does watching TV make people unhappy?)

People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

Not that it's all that relevant. I just like the quote.
