[News] HEROES, the new NBC drama, is available on iTunes for FREE download!
Hmm, that looks cool, with a clever premise. I think I'll go see that.
*Hunts around for HEROES for AGES, with no luck in finding anything at all.*
[iTunes] "Heroes"? Never heard of it. But I have a kids show, Higglypuff Her-
No, the show that NBC said was here.
[iTunes] Maybe you want to buy the song by David Bow-
Shut up. *Closes iTunes*
[LJ User Clarification] HEROES is actually available for download at
www.nbc.com.
Awesome!
There it is! WHEEEE!
[NBC.COM] DENIED.
You're not in the U.S. But here,
watch the advert anyway! We need the piles of cash to go diving in gold coins like Scrooge McDuck!
What?! Play you countryist bastard!
[NBC.COM] DENIED.
*Fuming*
[NBC.COM] You wanna watch it, tune in to our station, Mondays 9/8c.
I'm not in the US.
[NBC.COM] Tune in.
Look, I don't have pay-tv/cable! I can't afford it, and free-to-air takes months, if not years, if the show even gets here! We haven't finished Battlestar Galactica's second season, nor finished season one of Farscape yet!
[NBC.COM] Tune in or move to the U.S.
...I can't afford pay-tv/cable, and you expect me to move countries...?!
[NBC.COM] Resistance is futile.
And you lot wonder why piracy of your shows continues to thrive.
*Gets friend's bittorrent instead.*
