I’m just watching the idiot box, and this commercial comes on. It goes something like this:

“Dish Network subscribers… Court TV has been dropped from Dish Network’s programming. To correct this injustice, call 1-800-blah-blah…”

As Justin Timberlake says, “Cry me a river.”

“Injustice”? Are you serious? Some stupid channel gets dropped from a network due to the laws of supply and demand, and Court TV charges that they’ve been wronged? Sorry, baby, but that’s just the nature of the game of capitalism.

Now, it’s probably the case that Court TV doesn’t really think that they’ve been wronged. They’re playing on their viewers’ sense of “justice” and the love of Court TV. Sweeeeet.

I love hearing corporations whine. And, no, it’s not because I hate all corporations. I like many corporations. I just like hearing them whine.
I also like hearing people whine about other people liking to hear corporations whine. Hey, where’s Bill Goans?
