This always cracks me up.

If other developed countries aren't watching TV what are they doing?

Probably playing games on their TV or on the computer. Which to me is the same damn thing.

It's the same amount of eye strain and throw in some wrist detoriation down the road.

They aren't all reading books or going for daily jogs

Don't forget the US works more hours per week then any country, at least compared to this old study.

Yep, could just be we're exhausted from working and have very little paid holidays. (Holy crap @ Finland)

Wow, I need to move to Finland!

Is that really a zero for US? I get 17/days of paid time off a year + your regular main holidays and all of Dec. 24th-Jan. 2nd.

From what I understand, these are mandatory vacation in the listed countries by law. I think most in the US get some paid vacation, it just isn't by law.
