People Cancel Cable and Watch Video Online, According to Ancient Print Newspaper

October 3, 2008

The Wall Street Journal (a really old newspaper that a lot of people read… some of whom aren’t directly responsible for the financial crisis) reports that although only about 1% of people have moved entirely to online-video instead of via cable… people are dropping cable TV to save money.

Integrated Media Measurement Inc., reported that 20% of viewers in the firm’s 3,200-person panel watched some prime-time network television online, up from roughly 6% in the fall. Half of those online viewers said they were no longer watching those shows on television.

To be honest I kinda stopped reading the article because it was long and it’s the Wall Street Journal. But I wanted to write about it so I could includ the picture of a guy (not a girl) blowing out his cable like it was a birthday candle.

Hey, I heard you blow out your cable at least 3 times a day. I don’t think that’s healthy.

includ?

and are you sure it’s not a girl? I know some pretty masculine girls

ha, that previous sentence is really ambiguous.

That may very well be a guy, but I cannot believe he has a penis.

You just liked the picture of the guy because he’s feminine. Come on Kevin… it’s okay… you can share your feelings with us.

He may not have a penis, but he DOES have sideburns. I think that makes him a guy.
