Give Me TV My Way, Not Yours

Cheap Property In Italy

All that online television you folks in America get to watch? Have pity on the rest of the world: we're second-class non-citizens.

Thanks for Nothing, ABC

A Plague on All Your Houses

Dec 1, 2006

Yeah, screw you, too, NBC.

Sure, I could get around this by hiding my IP address or spoofing a US one. But that would be baaaaad. And beside the point. I wanted to watch your new hit show. But you won't let me, because I don't live in the US. I'd even be willing to pay for it (iTunes), but I can't do that, either, because I don't have a US billing address on my credit card. What's an honest TV fan to do?

And Another...

NB: I can't be bothered with CBS, which requires RealPlayer, which I won't touch with a bargepole. In any case, I can be 99% certain of the outcome: a pain in the butt to install software, and then, once again, "screw you, non-US resident."
