Boob Tube?
2008 July 19
BOOB TUBE: An activist takes part in a demonstration at the Hotel Indonesia traffic circle in Central Jakarta on Friday, exhorting passersby to turn their TVs off this Sunday. Organizers say they staged the event to warn the public that most local TV programs hold no educational value for children. (JP/J. Adiguna)

I don’t get why it is called BOOB TUBE?
I showed it to my sister, she said it made sense, Boob and Tube.
I still don’t get it.
Dude, i need your opinion in one paragraph only. I am writing an article for Southeast Asia Blog contribution. The main idea is :
“WHICH WAY SUD INDONESIA FOLLOW? China way or India way?”
I will put your name in the blog of coz.
I have sent an email to you Akhyari.
Good day
Dear princejake,
Boob tube is a slang for television. “Boob tube”, not refering to the female parts
But because of its negative social effect on humans such as time wasting and noneducational media.
A “boob” can mean someone who is foolish.
“Tube” means an electronic device consisting of a system of electrodes arranged in an evacuated glass or metal envelope.
Put them both together and it associates television as a technology for fools.
Which is the main purpose the activist is trying to promote.
Hope this helps. Take care.
