Cable TV A La Carte?
Anonymous Coward writes "According to this BusinessWeek article you can now get your MTV a la carte. I having been waiting for years to buy my cable by the channel, and this article indicates that my cable company is now legally required to let me. I am going to call Time Warner tomorrow with my list just to see what they say. Anyone out there doing this now?"
I'm amazed that posting trollish statements to piss people off is still effective. Even if the person is actually a rabid racist, and not just a rabid troublemaker, posting on slashdot has to be the least troublesome racist activity he can do. Pick your battles, don't let posts on a message board get under your skin.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Not if you get only the channels that
1. Don't show commercials.
2. Don't have anything to do with religion.
3. Are not censored.
4. Report the news objectively.
5. Actually show the content suggested in their title(MTV needs to rename itself to The "You're better off watching the barrel of a shotgun go off in your face because you are fucking pathetic" Network)
6. Let me know when faggot shit will be on so I can avoid flipping channels anywhere near that station(I swear, Showtime will never get my money ever again as long as I live for that shit they pull with that goddamn Queer show). Heres an idea, why don't they include blocking faggot shit with the V-Chip, or can those settings get that granular?.
I cancelled cable because it is fucking stupid. I highly recommend living life as oppossed to watching other people live it.
