Study Finds That Channel Surfing With A Bad Attitude Decreases Likelihood Of Finding Something To Watch

 Thanks to a recent study, students from Yale University have been able to confirm something that all television aficionados (people with TVs) have known for far too long: that a person's mood can affect the quality of programming available to them while channel surfing.

 The study consisted of one group of volunteers who were driven in a limousine to the top secret lab where all of these studies take place and another group that was flown to Tucson, Arizona, where they were to catch a greyhound bus all the way back to New Haven, Connecticut.

 Upon arrival, the two groups were ushered into two different viewing areas - the first being luxurious and accommodating while the other didn't even have a working fucking heater. Group one reported finding satisfactory viewing content with ease while group two encountered difficulty in the process. A volunteer from the second group had this to say: "At first I was like, 'There's got to be something on,' and then I was like, 'of course there's nothing on; there's never anything fucking on.'" A volunteer from the first group, however, said that the key is "to channel surf like you would actually surf, not with resting bitch face."

 The study did not confirm whether or not boredom is a factor.
