It's not just Saturday Mornings, it's 24/7/365. Cartoon Network, Disney Channel, and Nickelodeon keep the fire burning bright. I catch Spongebob sometimes on Saturday mornings when I'm not having to head into work.

Why watch TV stoned when you can play video games?

Not if you play the right ones. Dynasty Warriors takes no skill sober and when you're stoned the bright colors and repetitive gameplay are a revelation and a journey. Extra points to Gundam Warriors cause giant fighting robots and even brighter colors. And I don't even particularly like Gundam as an anime.

Now just imagine that this is the easiest game in the world to play and takes little to no skill on easier settings while being the most satisfying thing in the world when beating down on peons who can do nothing to stop your might. It's ****ing hypnotic on weed.
