I've posted this before but

Ray Bradbury has come out to say Farenheit 451 is actually about the dangers of TV addiction. On multiple occasions.

There's a time where he gave a lecture at UCLA and a student insisted to Bradbury's face that he was wrong about the book he wrote and so Bradbury walked out. Death of the author, yada yada yada.

The moral of the story is that TV is going to kill literature and turn people into smooth brained zombies who can't/won't accept the higher medium of the written word, so they made it illegal.
