I just saw a clickbait article titled “Should you leave your TV on when you’re not home?” I snickered, remembering the time my mother did that to keep her dogs entertained, not realizing she left it on Cinemax (often referred to as “Skin-emax” after a certain time of night). By the time she got home, the programming had switched to porn.

The dogs were _fascinated_.

Think about that if you decide to leave that TV on.
