Apple to Offer Monthly iTunes TV Subscriptions

sg3000 writes "Fans of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, rejoice! Reuters is reporting that Apple will provide monthly subscriptions to two of Comedy Central's most popular shows. One question, as TV shows become available for sale on the Internet, will this make it harder to share clips online, such as through Google Video? In your answer, ignore facts. Just go with what feels true."

In your answer, ignore facts. Just go with what feels true.

We /.ers already do that all the time, no need to remind us. /me ducks

Never have so few words been so profound.

"In your answer, ignore facts. Just go with what feels true".

That's Slashdot. Summed up in a single sentance. That's so beautiful.

I think I'm changing my sig.

*sigh*

And, in an attempt to be on topic:

No, why would it make it harder to share. Uh, google video? WTF?

Oh right. That's how people share videos... *snickers*

Oh Rihgt.

Deaer Earnest Murderer,

You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman. Your calm demeanor and rational way of handling confrontation are an example of maturity to us all, which I am sure brings in the ladies. Please accept my apologies on behalf of your aggressor as he busts your hump and promptly pisses off as you commanded. I extend this token to you out of goodwill.

Hey without my chiropractor, I wouldn't be able to turn my head side to side. Regular western medicine would rather fuse my spine so that I can't move my upper back/neck at all. Now, which method is progress, and which is pointless?

There's really nothing wrong with a chiropractor treating back pains. The problem comes when a chiropractor tries to treat migrains, the common cold, ulcers, and even irritable bowel syndrome. Scientifically, you might as well drink chinese tiger penis soup to get a stiffy.

Why do I feel like some marketing guy at Apple is eyeing my ITMS account, just waiting for me to sign up [slashdot.org]:

"Hey pal, you said you'd do it ..."

There is a word for this...

[SetupWeasel]

"In your answer, ignore facts. Just go with what feels true."

I believe the proper expression is:

Answer with truthiness.

You're right; I clearly don't know what sarcasm is or how it is used. Thanks for the help!

Re:Never have so few words been so profound.

[Justin205]

Oh, come on. He's just ignoring facts. And going with what feels true. ;)

Re:Sign me up!

You willingly chose to buy a DRM product? Clearly the RIAA had a gun to your face and was threatening to throw your mother over the balcony while they stripped you naked and burned a copy of the Bill of Rights in front of your face using a swastika-clad lighter while black-suited Republicans chanted satanic hymns in a candle-lit circle around an alter of The Almighty Dollar(tm)! There's just no way you or the other 87% of the iTunes-using market could possibly be choosing this illegal, immoral, unacceptable, childhood-raping scheme of your own volition. Just no way.

"Stephen Colbert's Alpha Squad 7: Lady Nocturne: A Tek Jansen Adventure"

As one of the proof-readers on this book, let me tell you all that you've got a real treat in store when it does find a publisher. It is 2,389 pages of pure genius--the thrill ride of my summer. And I'm not just saying that because I work for Stephen or because he threatened to fire me if I didn't.
