Miserly Misanthropes
Especially those who watch TV. I guess that’s a tautology - you gotta be a misanthrope to watch TV. Leaving aside the football widow syndrome, what do you get to watch? News about who got killed, or injured, or slandered someone else. Painful episodes watching oh so gorgeous looking folks do the most inane things.
Once in a way you might get something good. Like Eddie Murphy playing Holy Man, and making a parody out of a “As sold on TV” show. But more often than not, you don’t get the parody - just the pitch. With the inevitable commercial break that makes no sense at all; the whole show’s a commercial break, why rub it in?
But at least, you couldn’t be a miser over it. Not while cable charges are what they are. At least, until now.
TVproducts4Less. Giving the miser in you the ultimate.
And forget all that blah about NetTV requiring broadband, a huge pipe, and paying through your nose. The very same ultra-great quality products in the most economical package. After all, who needs the pitch, the jingle, the constant repetition and animation, when you can save a couple of bucks?
No TV. No cable. No noise, no commercial breaks, nothing but great products and even greater savings. And you know the people who came up with this are folks after your own heart.
Why else would they have economised on “Recommended reading” with descriptions of the articles on sale? A touch of two birds with one stone, obviously.
Go ahead, indulge yourself. Just think about the huge savings. Again. And Again.
