When you're unemployed, you have a lot of time on your hands. You also have no source of income. "Should I Bother" explores low cost ways of killing time, ultimately deciding whether they are worth getting out of bed for.
SHOULD I BOTHER WATCHING THE TODAY SHOW?
The Today Show is America's most popular morning news program, and it's 4 hours long. This means that you could kill one-sixth of your day learning about current events by watching it, right? Wrong. The Today Show is not really a news show. It spends about 5 minutes every hour reducing important stories to headlines before filling the rest of it with tabloid stories and/or stories about what's wrong with kids these days, fashion shows and/or cooking tips, and painful/forced conversation. See chart below:
If you're interested in making your baby look stylin' or listening to people speculate about celebrities, watching The Today Show wouldn't be the worst way for you to kill time. If you're not interested in either of those things (and you're awake before noon) you might as well be watching Maury- it's 10 times more entertaining, and almost as informative.
BOTTOM LINE: Sleeping is more worth your time than The Today Show.
