Potty Breaks

The best part of this whole article is this dweeb's take on the bathroom break. Any human that has gone this far down the greed path isn't doing his company any favors by spouting off and making the whole company sound like a crew of imbeciles...

I guess there's a certain amount of tolerance for going to the bathroom.

Some tolerance? SOME F-ING TOLERANCE? Sorry, that just struck me as funny.

For a Contract to exist I would have to have put a signature somewhere and there should be some place to view that contract.

Sounds like shrinkwrap and click-through EULAs have made Kellner jealous, and he wants something equivalent for television broadcasts.

There's probably something hidden on a text feed channel that says something like "by receiving these broadcasts, you are agreeing to watch all advertisements, no matter how inane, annoying, or offensive; start singing their jingles in public, even if it makes your friends avoid you; buy their products regularly and in preference to all competitors, no matter how useless they are; etc. To disgree, you must destroy your television."

Uh-oh...

I switched channels to PBS(that government run commie network!)during a commercial, without making a donation. That's 3 strikes, so I guess I am going to jail for a long time :-(
