You can have them when you can pry them out of our cold, dead, Cheeto-covered hands.

The TV-Turnoff Network, which encourages families to kick the habit for a week or more once a year, is now eyeing everything else and says we should unplug them, too. What's next, we have to give up our dog for 7 days as well?

"We certainly don't look at it [technology] as evil, and when used properly it adds value to our lives. But when it's used to excess, that is the problem that we have," says Robert Kesten, executive director of the TV-Turnoff Network.

Bobby, baby, where you been man? That's what America is all about - excess. Well that and celebrity gossip.
