Drug addicts are running Sprint. Sprint is charging $2.50 per song for two copies of each track: one to play on a phone and one for a personal computer.
And I would buy from there because?!? Oh, that's right! Because I was high on crystal meth, and didn't realize that there were a hundred different ways to procure this tune at a cost far less than 50% of the highway robbery that Sprint is pushing.
And this is what really gets me... I like to call it the Kudo's theory. You remember the time when the Kudo's bar was the size of say a current Snicker's that you can pick up down at the 7-11? Those were good times. Now, a Kudo's bar is approximately 30% smaller, yet the price remains the same. Do you see where this is headed? Pretty soon, they'll be selling the smell of Kudo's bars... they're won't even be a bar anymore, just an empty wrapper that smells like your favorite Kudo's.
Think of how the Kudo's theory will effect the Lunch Treat Trade Union (LTTU). Currently the LTTU operates on the notion that items like Ho-Ho's, Twinkies and Kudo's are all created equal, and all would be a fair swap, without needs for an intervention by one of the LTTU leader's stepping in to arbitrate. With the direction we're headed now, it's going to cost the LTTU more, and those costs are always pushed back to the tax payers.
All this thanks to Sprint. Futon you Sprint, you greedy bastards.

yeah i totally noticed the kudo bar shrinkage. its weird though, cause most stuff now you can get like super jumbo ginormus biggie size with a side of fries. i guess american's aren't getting fat off of kudo's bars...

I noticed this in phenomenon in English muffins (Thompsons: there goes whitey hold back on me again), Taco shells (the hard kind) and Peeps (the 'shmallowy creatures that apparently were present at the resurrection of Christ).
Then again, all you ITunes sheep should not ba'aa too loudly about getting shafted by T.H.E. Mann; as far as I can tell, you seem to gleefully line up for the prison-sex Apple (Corporation!) calls a business model.

YBSL - Americans get fat for two reasons:
1. The psychology of the small Kudos makes it imperative that they rush to Sam's Club and buy the 288-count size--you know, to save.
2. They sit on the couch (slow-roasting their genitalia with a laptop) and blog lamentations about how an extra .75oz of kudolicious granola is now lost but to history, and how the times they are a-changin', and how they don't make Chili-Cheese Fritos or Taco Doritos anymore, and how crazy it is that the same corporation that owns the Gym (where they work out religiously) probably owns the snackfoods conglomerate that sells the Kudos, and how said corporation is therefore making money hand over fist--ostensibly by selling their asses back to them.
That's it man, fat fat fat. But look on the bright side; you could be French.
