And you thought most TV was just boring

It can also reduce population growth, a concern of India. The Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Ghulam Nabi Azad, has a solution to the problem: watch television at night. In his words, “If there is electricity in every village, then people will watch TV till late at night and then fall asleep. They won’t get a chance to produce children. When there is no electricity there is nothing else to do but produce babies.” He thinks watching tv can cut the population growth by 80%.
