End of the Free Internet

When I think of an individual site that's really worthwhile I say to myself, "Sure, that site is worth $4.95 a month". The problem is there are going to be lots of sites at $$$ a month and it sure adds up." Of course even Slashdot is planning on rolling out subscriptions-for-no-banner-ads sometime soon, so I suppose we're not entirely immune to the subscription bug either.
Man, you are missing out if you don't watch the religious programming. Some of the shows are absolutely hilarious. Other shows are fascinating to, as a glass window into the closed mind of a Christian (and I single out Christians here as they seem to be the bulk of cable TV that I have seen, at least here in Australia). It's amazing to see the little world they live in, inside their head and inside the wals of their church.
Also, I wish I got the right wing stuff here, I'd watch it all the time. Know your enemy.
What were the skies like when you were young?
Is your name in reference to that Orb tune with woman going on about the little fluffy clouds in Arizona?
Well that's just disgusting.
End of the Free Internet You mean I'm going to have to pay for my p0rn now!?!?
