A cable network that’s business model is based on ripping off young, naïve filmmakers who are willing to work for very little, while delivering high quality, innovative content. This model keeps Current’s production costs absurdly low, while the rates they charge for advertising are absurdly high. And while they do not share their multi-million dollar ad revenue with the young filmmakers who make it possible to charge those rates, they do give them the chance to “share their voice” while “democratizing television.”
Film School Graduate 1: “Yo man, Current TV paid me 500 dollars for exclusive rights to that short documentary I spent five months producing.”
Film School Graduate 2: “Wow, your voice is really gonna be heard when they air it in random rotation at some unknown point in the future!"

Direct TV is when you are unable to view programs on your television.
Direct TV is an inconvenient situation that you have to put more effort than originally planned to obtain a simple request.
Direct TV means having to brush snow, ice, or debris from anything to get it to work when it was suppose to work on its own.
Direct TV means braving dangerous conditions for little satisfaction.

"Hey did you see the game?"
"No, I have Direct TV"

"Because I have Direct TV"

On the top of the list of American oxymorons, the only aspect of reality that it accurately portrays the American value that you have to be a backstabbing piece of bastard to survive in corporate America just like in shows like Survivor.
Reality TV is the fakest piece of shit ever broadcasted on TV. Except for all the backstabbing and the complete willingness to sacrifice friendships in the name of being self-centered and obsessed with winning something that isn't really worth the price, which is, unfortunately a very real part of our country.
