Landru"Bingo, Doc.
The days of forced subsidizing the Liberal-Socialist misfits who could never make it on their own will be all over with this, post haste."
Right - because we know the television watching audience is very conservative - that's why they demand so much conservative programming. /sarasm
Seriously, the television watching public are the people who like jiggle TV. The proportion of TV that has sexual content will go up rather than down with a la cart, in my opinion.
HA!!
Only speaking for my tastes, my friend.
We've DirecTV in my home, have the "Top Tier" which is everything minus "HBO", "Showtime" etc.
I'm not kidding you one bit when I say that with an increasing & alarming frequency my bride & I will sit down to be entertained in the evening (around 7PM CST) and there's not one thing showing which piques our intrest, not one.
We've discussed the possibility of terminating DTV as it's become almost useless.
Really.
DTV costs us ~$60 (or so) bucks a month & we're asking ourselves "For what?", more & more.
This "ala carte" jazz may be too late for us, as it is.
"Seriously, the television watching public are the people who like jiggle TV. The proportion of TV that has sexual content will go up rather than down with a la cart, in my opinion."
You're probably correct.
However we don't watch anything "jiggle" in this house except me when I go to the fridge, possibly. {g}
Can't speak for what the "television watching public" puts into their brains, just us.
We're well aware of the degenerate crap people are using to fill their empty heads & apparently even emptier lives.
Fine with us.
"Freedom" for more & more these days means watching anything they please & if they're paying for it & personally I couldn't care less, but I'm not.
That's the whole jist of this issue, gB.
...who I pay & for what. ;^)
