Nope, that's 2 minutes of clips from like 6 hours worth of gloriously awful TV.

I NEED THOSE 6 HOURS!

Fuck it, we're cancelling cable. No more Flavor of Love, Rock of Love, and other entertainingly terrible VH1 reality shows. Having cable is just enabling myself to pick up bad addictions like MBFGW, Jersey Shore and anything with those damn Kardashians. And considering every time I try to turn on the PS3, I white-whine all over myself because we have two PS3's in the living room right now and I have to figure out which HDMI port then unplug the audio out of one and into the other, then sync up the right controller... I'll never watch TV, movies, streaming again if we cancel cable and stick with Hulu+/Netflix on PS3. Maybe I'll actually enjoy my summer evenings. We can probably get sell our couch too.

W/e

you guys are missing out on the fucking gypsies. It's completely fascinating documentary-like show.

If I was a traveller girl, I would've been "grabbed" at a wedding, probably by my own cousin, then shamed into marrying the guy who grabbed me a few months later at the wee age of 15. Spend the rest if my life cleaning my caravan and shitting outside. You wouldn't shit in your kitchen, so why would you shit in the bathroom of a caravan?

All other reality shows are shit though.

So we're considering cancelling our cable. Charter sucks, our Moxi blows, and they've raised their rates by over 40% in the last year.

Could we live without cable/dvr/hd/my big fat gypsy wedding? I just don't know.

So we got a free trial of Hulu Plus, and we can stream that through the PS3. We already have Netflix through the PS3. Is Hulu all that great? Are there better options?

If you've got internet, you've got TV. I don't know what HULU offers on PS3, but if it's anything like NetFlix' streaming catalog on Xbox Live, you're safe. I was rummaging that queue during my last US trip, and was convinced it would keep me busy for a year, even if I wasn't gaming.

Then there's always BitTorrent.

Mupepe · « **Reply #8055 on:** June 21, 2011, 11:26:18 AM »

Hulu doesn't come close to Netflix. But you can keep up with a lot of your current shows that way. But the movies are craptacular and the selection of shows isn't that great.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #8056 on:** June 21, 2011, 11:26:36 AM »

Hulu looks great if you keep up with current shows. I think Hulu and Netflix could work in tandem.

Mupepe · « **Reply #8057 on:** June 21, 2011, 11:38:20 AM »

Yeah, before I moved a month ago I had Netflix and Hulu plus. I only had Hulu for like two months but I had completely replaced cable with Netflix for the previous 10 months or so. For about 35 bucks a month you get streaming of old movies and tv shows, new tv shows and 3 dvd's/blurays at one time. Not a bad dealio.

If cooking and home improvement shows are considered reality television, then we're total reality whores.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #8060 on:** June 21, 2011, 12:02:07 PM »

I haven't really watched much if any TV since 2005. I did make one exception and that was to watch The Shield. Once that show was over, I had no real use for TV. Everything worth watching found its way to DVD, a Netflix stream, or the internet (legally). There is rarely something on TV that I would like to watch that I can't find on another medium. I suppose it is possible that I miss out on some good shit but I admit that I haven't lost much sleep over it. Especially considering that I'm saving on an overpriced cable/satellite bill, getting a 200 channel package where 90% of the channels are unwatchable.

FUCKING DIRTY SHIT

JUST GOT OFF A CONFERENCE CALL WITH ONE OF THE GUYS WHO WORKED AT THE PORN SHOP AND THE LAWYER HIRED BY MY OLD BOSS IN THE PORN STORE.

THEY CHARGED THE OWNERSHIP SIX MONTHS AGO WITH DUPLICATES OF ALL THOSE TICKETS AND ARE HOPEFULLY GOING TO DISMISS THE CASES AGAINST US AFTER THE CASE AGAINST THE OWNERSHIP IS SOLVED. THIS IS DIRTY BECAUSE THEY INTENTIONALLY SCHEDULED THE CURRENT COURT DATE AFTER RESEARCHING HOW MUCH WE ALL HAD PAID INTO UNEMPLOYMENT, KNOWING WE'D BE BROKE, UNEMPLOYED BECAUSE OF OUR RECORDS, AND SANS UNEMPLOYMENT BECAUSE IT HAD RUN OUT. WITH THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS OFF OUR RECORD (AND THUSLY BE ABLE TO BE EMPLOYED AGAIN) BEING TO TESTIFY AGAINST OUR OLD BOSS. ONE OF GUYS WHO WORKED THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN APPROACHED BY THE COUNTY AND CONFIRMS THE STORY ABOUT THEM WAITING UNTIL OUR UNEMPLOYMENT RAN OUT, WITH THE REST OF US SOON TO FOLLOW.

FUCKING BEYOND DIRTY.

Mupepe · « **Reply #8075 on:** June 21, 2011, 02:07:04 PM »

Pretty damn dirty. But is there any reason not to testify against him? He's fucked you pretty hard. I'd go for it. Unless he's the type to have you beaten, fucked and killed.

wait, didn't you have a cow when I snickered at the character of the owner based on the story, and you were all "GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE BOOGIE, NOT EVERYONE WHO GETS CHARGED WITH SOMETHING IS A CRIMINAL"

and now you basically infer that he is indeed in bed with organized crime?

And Thor, why not just leave town? That place sounds like it sucks. One of those little shit towns where everybody knows everybody's shit and cops are dirty as fuck. I have a 24-hour legal porn store down the street from my house. Criminal background? Who cares - can you sell this 5 in wide butt plug to a grandmother. You're hired!

Mojovonio, things will get better...eventually.

I was in a slump for 10 years once. Things never went right no matter how much I tried. I got out of the hole by luck and maybe the fact that I hit bottom, with nowhere to go but up. I hope it doesn't last that long for you because things were getting really bad towards the end. Keep your eyes and ears out for options and try to take advantage of them is the best advice anyone can give. Just do something, anything with your time rather than sitting on ass and reading messageboards. Saying that you'll be a millionaire by making iPhone apps is delving into fantasy land, which will keep your ass in the hole.
