Internet has it in for you

Read this shit. Just read it.

The thing that gets me is how, through all of the bullet points in the article, it keeps referring to "television" and "video." Thank God all of the good television that was worth a damn was on while I was growing up, so now I can buy it on DVD, instead of watching shit that passes for "entertainment" now. Oh good, now I can soon pay for a channel's premiere programming, which is probably just some fucking reality show.

And how starved are we as a people for entertainment, that the federal government deemd it so important that they tax the shit out of our entertainment? Or, maybe a better question is, is entertainment that important to us? Damn, some people that get services at the clinic don't pay their bill, but I'll bet they'll scrape together some change to watch "Nip/Tuck." Alternately, maybe some folks will be so hurt by their inability to access TV that they may consider themselves emotionally crippled and will use it to seek disability? Great, one more stupid little thing for people to bitch about that doesn't amount to shit in the global scheme of things ... that is the yay.

So, this does make me wonder ... will That Other Site^TM cease to be free? Will we finally have to scrape up some funds to buy it off? Will the SFSAST video finally be created? Will the wonder of Conspiracy Month never be realized??/

(Wow, sleep loss makes me pi-ssy.)
