One day almost 20 years ago I looked at the cable bill and was like: "What?! $200?"
I didnt watch Tv but The Mister did.
$200/mo to lay in bed on a Friday night with remote in hand, clicking between 180 channels saying, "Nope." [click]. "Nope" [click]. "Already seen it." [click]. "Nope.That's shit".
And then watching an ad for Midnight Oil because "nothing else is on".
How is that any better than 5 analog networks using the rabbit ears for free?
My father called it.
1980s came around, I wanted MTV, he said NO WAY AM I PAYING FOR TELEVISION.
Cable was advertized as commercial free, remember?
He knew there'd be commercials on it in No time AND you'd still be paying for it.
That's how they getcha.
Little bits at a time.
With excuses.
