Bryant and Zillmann (1984) discovered that stressed individuals watched more tranquil programs and bored participants opted more for exciting fare. (p.7)

Maybe this is why I like movies where nothing really exiting happens. There are very few explotions in my favourite movies for example.

Update: What you see above is Swedens logo for when they will hold the precidency of the EU this coming fall. It beats me how a country which is famous for it's contemporary design and good taste choose to spend 150,000 Euros on a tennis ball. My nation or origin is loosing it's touch. And did I mention, the currency is fucked.
At least the tennis ball squiggle in in the shape of an S...for Sweden...maybe they're being excessively subtle.
I do get the point, and the fact that the S stands for Sweden, but that doesn't help, it's so unoriginal and boring, it looks like a logo for a gas station. I can never return!
