(For those of you who believe in the TL;DR theory- Scroll down till you see the fabled letters- And then go read a book you twats!)
Hello! Welcome once more to my critical view of the world. Seen through my eyes, the world is a swirling pool of filth and greed.
Well, alright, let me start over. I'll start by saying I'm angry as I right this. Truly fired up. Why? NBC is a brunch of greedy bastards who want nothing to do each day then gain money. Rather then actually providing a decent service to their customers and viewers, their only goal is profit. An exceedingly monstrous profit. I'm gotten into the show Revolution. A show about basically the end of all power of Earth as people are left to survive and delve into complete chaos and corruption. Hey look! Once again, the basis of NBC. Chaos. Corruption. Let's begin with a stupid decision on NBC's part as we begin the tale to my current state of anger.
Super Storm Sandy is headed this way, Monday night. Instead of: 1. Continuing their regular line-up and showing my show. or 2. Updating their schedule to show that they were changing and broadcasting my show on one of their dozens of other channels they own as they continue advising viewers about the current storm situation- They choose a stupid idea to continue their crappy news team on air and never talk one bit about their other programming.
Now, with the new cable provider we got a few months ago, we got a TiVo box for free. It's no fault to the provider but I had the TiVo set to record Revolution. With NBC's fuck-up- Pardon my French lads- it didn't record. I notice this as I go to sit down Tuesday night and watch the recording. (You see, my family wanted to watch CBS's programming Monday night. And CBS, being the semi-intelligent folks as they are there, decided to intelligently show their prime time programming on one of their other channels- The CW.) Well, all the box recorded was a crappy news team giving crappy advice and replaying stupid gov't official's press speeches.
"Le Crap!" I exclaimed as I saw this, and decided that I needed to find a rebroadcast some where. I searched the box and saw a rebroadcast later in the weak. The only one. Record it! So I did. Having to go into work finally that day and having to do some decent work after I came home Thursday, I didn't get to watch the rebroadcast "live" per-say. So I had to watch the recording later.
The same work schedule happened Friday, so I was to wait for Saturday. I woke up that weekend morning ready to watch my show- "Le Crap!" I say once more, as all it recording was a bloody telethon! "Those bloody bastards!" I was sick of it. "Fine." I decided, they loose my viewing. Probably, I hope, they lost many others by never showing or changing their schedule correctly. So, they loose my viewing, they loose my rating count in their ad reports. The advertisers don't want to pay for a show that now has a shitty-pitty worth of viewers so NBC doesn't get as much money and I hope they finally learn from their constant fallacies.
The Olympic fuck-up- Again, pardon the french- and now this. Their cancelling of excellent programming and general decline of intelligent and thought provoking series.
So now, you're wondering, why talk about this so long after, on Black Friday. Well, that's why, it's Black Friday. I'm not going to go out at all today, so I want to watch some TV or movies. Why not my Revolution?! Ohh, that's right, none of them on my TiVo, I cancelled the subscription. Oh! I could watch them on my tablet/phone, right?! "We're sorry, your browser does not support [insert crappy proprietary non-web standard media player]" O.K. So NBC's website is out of the question. Hulu right? "A Hulu Plus subscription is required to watch videos on mobile devices." Bastards! And I'm currently updating my home theater system. But then again, no average person has a fully loaded PC as a box connected to their television. So don't try and call me on it. I know.
So what am I left with? TV? Nope. Tablet? Zip. Phone? Well, I was gonna connect it up to my TV- But guess what? Even if I could get it on my phone, most of the time you aren't allowed to connect it! I'm not gonna count HTPC as the average person doesn't have a full PC that they could watch Hulu or CBS on it. Ah ha! My desktop downstairs! No. I'm no going to sit back in my chair for an hour and not get paid for it.
So, all I'm left with is- Nothing. This is now where it comes down to where I began this post. Let me break it down into the main idea:
TL;DR
NBC is a corporation of greedy bastards that think every citizen is a pirate who is going to steal them of all their possible profit so they make us all go through leaps and bounds to try and watch their programming that I ALREADY have to pay an UNGODLY price for. So for Christ'sake, NBC, give me my fucking show!
Sorry for the language, but that's my post.
Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving to all of those who celebrate it. Happy Black Friday to all you idiots who are willing to give up your well being to save a few bucks off of outdated shit. Have a magical and merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I'll see you all later to help you understand the latest problems that arrive after the New Year and maybe right a few reviews on my personal splurges over the holidays and the books I've requested. Oh, and if you want a few good movies to watch this Turkey Weekend; try watching the 1980's Clue and The Wizard of Oz. Oz so that you can get ready for the new prequel. Or, all of the Lord of the Ring series so you can get ready for The Hobbit! 48fps! Woo!
Cheers,
Keith
