I forgot about paying the sub for MySky, because we paid the $600 outright. Me and my heedless privilege! Yeah, that would hike things up a bit...

I play it all the time
Snap! 'They call me rudeboy...'

Which, really, puts it out of reach of a lot of households.
Oh, I agree with the larger point. I was just noting that $80 a month is for *everything*, not the basic package.
(I cancelled SkyWatch in the first few months, after a ludicrous email back-and-forth with one of their writers about, erm, Renee Zellweger. Because I am insane.)

Lawrence Arabia's 'Look Like a Fool'
"... with your pants on the ground." ?3410, have I ever mentioned that I love you?
I am becoming increasingly concerned about how NZ is made of two groups of people; those who can afford access to technology (pay TV, internet etc) and those who can't (and those who can don't seem to care about the others).
Much as I am loath to compliment librarians about anything at all, they do write quite a lot about this 'digital divide' and the ways in which is increasing. It's a worry. (However, in the interests of accuracy, Sky Digital isn't generally $80 a month - the basic package is $40something I think.)
listening to them always makes my eyes fill up with tears with how good they are
Dork alert: I saw them one year at WOMAD and got all misty at their version of, of ALL things, Prince's 'I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man'. Heh. I have no idea what's going on with me.

I liked Colbert's suggestion of 'Top Chef': plug the hole with Tom Colicchio's bald head.

And cocoa. Because it's allowed for the LDS, cocoa is to Salt Lake City as coffee is to Seattle.
I think I once read (prolly on dooce.com, queen of the mommybloggers) that some LDS folk also drink vast quantities of Diet Coke, as it is not a *hot* caffeinated beverage. Loophole!

I suspect you could say that of a thousand other iphone apps Giovanni
I plan to.
Y'all are just iParty iPoopers.

your friend, Marbo
That photo of Marbo caused some serious squee over here on Auckland's westside, let me tell you.

The problem is when its omnipresence smothers other aspects of life.
What percentage of entertainment in life constitutes 'smothering'? Like, 33% is sleep, 33% (if you're really dedicated) is work, so... And actually, now that I think about it, what constitutes "entertainment"? I think cooking and eating are both pretty entertaining, but other people <coughPeterAshbycough> might not think so.

And we emerge blinking into the daylight from our telly caves, those driven to anger by teh mindless fodder are sectioned off from those who were sedated by the diet of drivel.
Yeah, yeah, "wake up, sheeple!" I watched ten straight years of Jerry Springer; my brain, like Jackie's, is fine. Dandy, even. Honestly, it's so tiresome to be pigeonholed as a brainwashed moron for watching certain shows.
