Impetus for me to Cut the Cord from Rupert’s Own Wall Street Journal

See the irony? This inspired me to call Comcast. It’s been rough, but oh so fun.

Around 80% of what most Americans watch on TV can be had for free. Scandal!

Dear Cable:

Before I say anything else: It’s not you. It’s me.

I’ve changed over the years. I’m hardly at home. And when I am, it’s not live television I’m watching. It’s stuff that’s been queued up on my DVR for weeks. But mostly, when I’m on my couch with a remote in my hand, I’ve been…streaming. I know how wrong that must sound. But everyone’s getting their shows and movies through the Internet these days. I’m sorry. It’s just the reality of things.

I’m quitting you, cable.
