FCC Report Supports a la Carte TV Pricing

An anonymous reader writes "The FCC may soon allow cable/sat companies to sell individually customized TV channel packages. From the article: ' FCC chairman Kevin Martin spoke to a forum, sponsored by the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee in Washington, which has been examining indecency on radio and television. Martin told the forum that the FCC will soon release a report that concludes that offering TV programming a la carte is economically feasible and in the best interest of consumers.'"

    Yeah that'd be true if those people actually wanted an off button. Unfortunately those people don't want an off button for their own TV. Those people want an off button that they can use on everyone else's. TV. Those people are busybodies with nothing better to do than to try to keep me from going to hell. What they don't realize is that my idea of hell is having to spend the rest of eternity with self-righteous assholes like them.
