Now I KNOW that the internets are addictve...

And FUCK the channel who suddenly made The Daily Show and The Colbert Report unavailable outside the US without even offering an alternative.

Those are the two fixed shows that I watch every day, even with the commercials. And for the last thirty six hours? Nada. Complaints are coming in from all over the world, seemingly. If they are going to be such dick-heads, they could at least offer a pay-for-view alternative, but not just make everyone go cold turkey, without warning. There are thousands of people abroad who understand and love satire. Just saying.

And have been getting a LOT of things where I go, and get the message that streaming is not allowed outside of the US, and cannot watch what the fuck it was about. They seem to increase lately. Insideous. Most of them are probably protecting their selling rights abroad, so we don't get to see any of it until it has already aired on local tee-vee.

Are these people so bloody blind? If you see it, you will want to call your local stations and ask them to run it, for fuck's sake.

Oh well, I guess that is how Wall Street went down the tubes... Greed. And blinkers as to what is really the story. Nothing new.

And JYES! I have withdrawal symptoms! A day without Steven is a very grey day---with thunderstorms of jinormous proportions. And do NOT try to convince me otherwise.

Update: whatever the problems were, they got fixed, and I get caught up on everything in ninety minutes. But for a major network to break down for two days? Weak.
