Great Moments in Naked Stupidity, Volume 1

I like to watch.

Who IS that handsome devil?

Specifically, I like to watch television.

However, there's a problem. What with working up to 60 hours a week at Day Job, reviewing stuff, trying to slowly build this goofy little site up, and making a complete and utter shambles of my personal life, I rarely catch any TV these days.

In fact, some weeks it's all I can do to arrange my time to ensure that I get a chance to watch Survivor. By the way, it's Boston Rob all the way this season.

I even missed The Apprentice last night!!!!

And yet, I love my Digital Cable. I refuse to part with it. I love my specialty channels, I love the crappy movies on Drive In Classics. I just never get to see them.

So, what's the solution?

A smart man would cancel the Digital Cable outright. Especially if said smart man bitched and moaned about his $80 cable bill every time he had to pay it. Just as an FYI, they expect you to pay that EVERY FUCKING MONTH! It's a nightmare. Anyway, that's what a smart man would do.

But, alas, I am not a smart man.

No...what THIS dumbass does is this: he calls up the cable company, fully expecting to cancel his Digital Cable, and instead orders a Personal Video Recorder instead.

It's basically a TiVo...to you Americans out there. But it's new here.

But, on the plus side, I now won't have to worry about missing Survivor when the Leafs are winning the Cup this year. And sure, I'm paying an extra 11 bucks, but because I can RECORD so much stuff, I'll be getting my money's worth...right? Right?

Man, I'm an idiot.
