If someone chained you to a chair and put the tv on.....

Please READ FIRST!!!

Which of these options would annoy you the most if you were strapped to a chair and someone put the TV on loudly (not blasting but too loud to ignore) and left, and you can't change the channel or volume?

You're going to be stuck there for 7 days straight. You'll get fed and get to poop/pee but all in the same room and no escape from that TV.

Every day, you have to take 6 tests or complete 6 puzzles and must pass the tests or the volume of the TV gets turned up and the quality of your food goes down.

It goes on a 24 hour continuous loop too, so you don't get to see/hear new programming, it's the same 24 hours worth of programming repeated over and over!!

You can't escape, period, so let's not even bother going there, that's not the point of the question.

Kid's sports.	4
Zydeco music videos.	6
Televangelists.	14
Tyler Perry shows.	7
The O'Reilly Factor.	7
Racist people ranting and debating.	30

Your description of the scenario seems almost too specific...
Is this a hypothetical question or something happening in your basement?

I think being strapped to a chair for 7 days would annoy me the most.

  If we had the technology to do this with a helmet or some sort of unavoidable viewing, we wouldn't have to strap you to a chair...until then, we're kind of stuck with doing something of that sort!!
  
  I suppose we could plaster the room with TV screens, floor and ceiling included, and leave you free to roam in there.

Kids Sports often utilize that "everyone is a winner" attitude. No, everyone is not a winner.

WTF is a Zydeco music video?

Televangelists spewing bullshit about how I am going to go to hell for having recreation sex with my husband with no intention to reproduce for 7 straight days? LOL.

Tyler Perry shows contain the same joke used over and over again. After 2 hours, the joke ceases to amuse me.

I had to watch the O'Reilly Factor every day for two years or at least listen to it in the background if I wanted to go downstairs in my family home. That guy spews the most stupid shit I have ever heard in my LIFE, and I don't know how ANYONE, Republican OR Democrat, can bear to listen to that muckraking, lying, shit-spewing bigot SPEAK.

Racist people ranting and debating... see above comment ^

Spanish Soap Operas... I don't know Spanish so I would fail the quizzes.

NASCAR... don't get my wrong, I enjoy my sports cars but more than a few hours? Nawh, I'm not THAT big of a redneck.

Operation instructions? After 7 days straight, I still wouldn't know how to work the damned thing.

Billy Mays' voice annoys me after more than 2 minutes. I hate being yelled at. No matter how low the volume is, it still breaks the sound barrier.

What's a NAMBLA?

Documentaries about clocks and watches, I'd fall asleep and never pass the quizzes.

The news would uhh... depress me. I live near the border.

So I'll go with Maury Povich. Especially if they show the episodes where the guy is nice and sweet to the women and says "if the baby is mine I promise I will step up and be a Dad" and is quite obviously a knight in shining armor above the douchebags that normally come on stage, and when his name is read "YOU ARE -NOT- THE FATHER!" he gets up, does a victory dance, calls the bitch a slut and does the two-step off the stage while singing "She ain't gettin' my moooney! She ain't gettin' my moooney!".

That shit makes me laugh.

  Zydeco is an extremely annoying, loud and spastic music style. They use annoying instruments like accordions. It's largely a Cajun thing. Here's a zydeco song:
  
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXId-5dYJjE
  
  NAMBLA is the North American Man-Boy Love Association, basically it's a bunch of male pedophiles who think it's OK and should be legal to be with underage boys.
  
  The quizzes are similar to an IQ test, it's basically logic, it's not about the material you are subjected to. The quizzes and puzzles are mainly there to make you behave and to test your concentration while flooding your senses with something very annoying. It's definitely in your best interest to pass the tests but we don't want it to be too easy.

    I am a great test-taker, so I am not worried about that. I have taken IQ tests before and have done well with them.
    
    I knew I recognized NAMBLA... still wouldn't listen to it. It sounds pretty gross.

  You have used a word that usually denotes a religious nether world, peculiar to some religions. You then later used a word that is often associated with this. These might be offensive to some people, whether they are religious or not religious, thus creating divisions in society.
  
  Why are you creating divisions in society?

        Once again you are jumping to conclusions. I think many people have been surprised by my comments and/or responses, and some might have actually learned some new things.
        I really think that you should learn what insanity really is, before you accuse people of this.
        Of course, you knew exactly what I was going to say before I wrote this, so there is no reason for me to send it. I will wait 30 minutes for your response, since you can predict me sending this.
        Please tell me how much time that you have to respond before 9:00'PM EDT.
        Please attach your reply to your last comment in this thread.

I would watch a weeks worth of either Pokemon, Teen Titans, Avatar:LOK, or any Japanese show because I do Pokeshipping, BBRae, and Borra. If the documentaries or inspirational programming...: No! No! I don't understand any of this madness! Who are they?! I don't know them! What are they playing?! AHHHHH! It's horibble!

This kinda made me laugh. It's all like:
Here! I'm gonna kidnap you!
No! No! Please!

Then they tie you up.

I know you're bored, so I'm gonna have you watch my favorite programs on the TV. ...And I know what you hate...
NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

How would the person have originally gotten into a situation like that? Through kidnapping or through scientific experimentation? What would be the point of it, to emotionally torture someone for kicks or to see how long they would survive?

This could make a good basis for a reality show...I wouldn't at all be surprised if RTV went ahead with something like this.

I go with Spanish Soap Operas. I've studied a little spanish, but it would be mostly frustrating to not understand most of the dialog.

I don't understand all the options but some of them sound like things I'd actually enjoy. Documentaries about clocks and watches? I want to watch that right now! A day's worth of news I'm fine with too as long as it's not that kind of news that repeats every fifteen minutes. I want a full 24 hours of world news. NASCAR I'd probably grow to like (I spent most of Sunday afternoon watching the Monaco Grand Prix - all 78 laps of it). Spanish soap operas? Yes, please. Have you heard Spanish people speak?

But to answer your question, infomercials and televangelists. By day six, I'd be so braindead or stupendously angry that I'd barely be able to even drool on the test, never mind take it.

I'm scooting now to watch my documentary about NASCAR timing systems and what clocks they use. In Spanish. :D

  But you're not afforded the luxury of growing to like it because it's the same 24 hours of material over and over. It may be interesting the first time, maybe the second time but by day 3 you're probably sick of it. Day 4,5, 6 and 7 you'd be suicidal!!
  
  Maybe I should shorten it to the same 12 hours of programming since it's only for a week!! You're too excited for your punishment!!

    The problem with me is that I'll always amuse myself. If it was just fifteen minutes over and over, I'd learn it by heart and speak along with them, and then start ad libbing and making fun of them. When I get released I'll pretend to people that I can predict what people on TV are going to say, and use that fifteen minutes of footage. :D
