its a dog eat dog world: there are no loyalties

so nbc had a little fight with apple. they said they wanted to charge $5.99 for a tv episode on itunes. apple said no, its either $1.99 per episode or get out.

they got out.

and now they are coming out with their own program called "NBC Direct". talk about lame. super lame. that has to be the lamest name Ever given to anything in the history of the world. in fact NBC is the lamest thing that ever happened in the history of the universe's history. Ever. and Eternity. forever terrible. i despise tv. Especially big fat nasty greasy stations that feed us big nasty greasy retarded shows hour after hour after hour interspersed with commercials that basically yell things at us like: "YOURE UGLY LIKE A HORSE, BUT BUY THIS BOTOXAL-GLUTIGHTER-LIFTUPFACIAL-IMPLANT-BOWFLEX-STEROIDAL-HEMAN-ZEONON WARRIOR SUBSTANCE AND BE BEAUTIFUL FOR LIFE...FOR ONLY $UMPTINE TRILLION. NOW NOW NOW"

yeah. great. just what we need. and yet, i think part of the reason i hate it all is that i am a victim of it. i grew up with a tv and have wasted many hours in front of it. ive fallen victim of wanting the newest toy for Christmas. ive fallen victim to watching soap operas over lunch and have gotten really depressed from it. thankfully ive become a bit smarter and now have the tv in the basement with it not even hooked up to bunny ears. but i still long for it. it still tempts me and once every year when the newest season of LOST or THE OFFICE comes out on DVD, i buy it and hole up in my basement and let my body degrade.

so im torn because this whole NBC Direct thing...they are going to offer The Office FREE to download. and that, my friends is amazing.

and in the end i stick it to the man, by watching their free episodes. even if there are commercials, ill just mute them. then its kind of like a comedy show. especially if i do voice-overs.
