I had to replay this a couple of time. I'm sure I heard him mention "quality entertainment" in there somewhere.

The biggest lie ever told: In 1968 a sales guy came through our neighborhood selling something called "cable television". The core of his pitch was, "Let us install this newfangled T.V. cable in your home. You will never have to watch a commercial again!"

What do we have now? 300 channels of s%*t and all either show commercials or ARE commercials!

That guy is in the same circle of hell as used car salesmen and Lehman and Brothers execs KDP.

Hay! I was a used car salesman and just because I sold a car to an old guy that had a broken back and couldn't drive for 6mos yet doesn't make me a bad person. I gave him a free AM radio!
