Ranting on Viacom AND DirecTV!! [View all]

Thanks to BOTH of you (I blame Viacom more) tonight I will miss new episodes of both of my favorite TV shows for the first time that I can remember. I've been a huge fan of The Daily Show since Kilborn was the host and I have probably seen every episode since Jon took over. I have seen every episode of The Colbert Report. I admit that I watch way too much television but these shows help me keep my sanity in a world where politics and the media are truly crazy.

So, SCREW YOU - you bloodsucking greedy leeches! I pay a LOT for DirecTV and I'm sure my rates will increase no matter what agreement you may reach. Viacom is asking for a huge increase in fees from DirecTV even though their ratings are down because they know forcing programming to be taken away will infuriate people like me. Viacom is also taking episodes off of the internet??? I feel like an entertainment hostage! No, I won't go pay for Hulu just to watch these shows. I will pirate them before I'll do that. After all, I am already paying to see these shows. Bastards....
