I wanted to watch the Office tonight, its one of those things I look forward to at the end of a long Tuesday. However, tonight in my neck of the woods, there was a storm. With my neck of the woods being so deep in the woods, my satellite TV proved useless.
"The Internet" immediately sprang to mind. I knew there had to be some way to watch just one episode on the internet - legally of course - for free. NBC.com has Season 4 episodes for streaming. Sweet. Right?
Aside from the countless banner ads and pop up advertising you would expect from the internet, there are 15 second commercials every 10 minutes or so in the episode, and 25 second click banners peppered in there for good measure. And the creators (aka the writers) aren't getting shit for it. Meanwhile the corporations pay out the ass in money and favors for the advertising rights. Where the fuck does all that money go? Why shouldn't the people who thought of it get a chunk of the chitlins?
I just wanted to be able to enjoy some simple escapism, without being railroaded. But don't download illegally, its wrong.
Stumble It!
