Waking up for no reason sucks far less thanks to adult swim. The only odd thing in the midst of wolves and witch hunters are the country love songs and xtian rock ads. I love adult swim, but worry that it won't be around for long. There are few ads and very few high-dollar ads on the program. If the only people marketing to it are freaks preying on the lonely, then it's doomed. How can I support their programming - buy xtain rock? Life insurance?
Clubs face this issue. With cheap covers and people that don't spend money at the bar, it's hard to keep a night going. I love it when people argue about the dance floor being packed - so what? How much money does that produce? I used to be poor, and got free drinks and soforth. Now I spend money just to spend money - so the night will be there next week. If I'm not drinking, I'll buy for someone else. This is also why I go to non-chain restaurants so much, and blow money and overtip there. Cheesecake factory does not need your money, but perhaps the Yang family does.
Whenever you enjoy something, think about what it takes to keep that thing in motion. Money is always involved, and if you do not contribute then you're just a parasite.
