Maybe take some time to think about why you find the need to try and insult people by saying stuff like "[I] spent too much time immersed in books instead of a glowing screen" instead of just acknowledging your gap in pop culture knowledge and moving on with your day?

"Ah, I see Teller is a well known pop culture figure. My mistake." would be a more appropriate way to respond. Searching "Teller" on Google outputs the magician as the first four results. It's not like it's some super small name.

Be nice, I'm sure it took some genuine effort on OP's part not to tell you that they don't even own a TV.

Actually, I don't own a TV ))

I accept that it makes me a weirdo. I just don't like the passiveness of the TV, but I really did not mean any insult to yupper32. He can enjoy whatever medium he likes.
