The remote, the zapper, the controller what have you, here's a good few reasons why next to the dog it should be man's best friend:
An object chucked in frustration whether it's at something or someone, beats a dagger.
Preserving energy from walking to the television could be used to walk to the fridge for a healthy snack, with the snacks eaten and more to be bought advertising could be affordable to the healthy businesses making the healthier option more noticeable and maybe even reducing this country's weight problem.
Some times it creates it's own entertainment on a Saturday night, in that when you can't find it, a game the whole family can play and avoiding the world-wide frustration of the jigsaw and "Family friendly" board games.
With the price of batteries so high you are also very often helping the economy, helping businesses across the country with more jobs, so you would be giving your younger loved ones more job opportunities
It increases your accuracy levels by the television not reacting to a mis-shot
With television licensing you are giving money to the government who spread that out to create more Schools and Hospitals, so with you clicking that remote you're contributing to saving lives my friend, well done, pat yourself on the back, go on, you deserve it.
