How Basic Cable Is Worse Than Network Television

Published on January 6, 2006 By stutefish In Life Journals

With Network Television, you pay for shampoo, and the shampoo company pays for your television entertainment, and you get shampoo commercials.

With Premium Cable, you pay for shampoo, and you pay for your television entertainment, but there's no shampoo commercials.

With Basic Cable, you pay for shampoo, and you pay for your television entertainment, and there's still shampoo commercials.

True, but on basic cable you might get to hear a dirty word (South Park) or even get some gore (Nip/Tuck). I even saw boobs once on MTV in the middle of the night.

Commercials? You must not have TiVo...
