Doing everything exactly opposite from "The Mainstream" is the same thing as doing everything exactly like "The Mainstream."  You're still using What Everyone Else is Doing as your primary point of reference.

Somewhere between "pretty" and "horribly"

I will start on the page where they ask me to list all of the channels available through my cable tv package. 

Like hell I'm doing that for 5 Washingtons.

This is what the Mrs and I are determining.  By their letter, they fancy us as the "average family representing your area".  We'll see about that.

Hey I was a Nielsen's family TV rater back in like 2002 and shit.  Fun stuff, but then it got tedious.

Inform them that you were not even aware that your television had an "ON/OFF" button and your family just enjoys sitting around watching the dark, reflective screen.

So as I mentioned, on page 2 they want me to list every channel I get, what channel it is on, and where it is from.  I'm going to print out a screen cap of a Google search with "auburn maine time warner cable lineup" in the search box, and paste it to the page.

Triple Zero

what is that, some sort of survey to check who watches what?

I suppose best way of trolling them is filling out the questions as if you're a teabagger (or some other horrible large part of the population), while watching terribly interesting things.
