A Year Without Cable?

Ever consider canceling your cable subscription? I have, after realizing I watch cable about once a week (preferring to watch online). Here are some pros and cons to canceling your cable:

When I pressed "Off" on that 64-button remote of yours for the last time, I was relieved. No more $175 monthly bills! No more Honey Boo Boo! No more Guy Fieri! But I was scared, too. Would I be OK with most of the American public watching "Bob's Burgers" a day before I could see it on Hulu? Would paying $35 for a season of "Mad Men" in HD sting as much as a cable bill? Would I be too ashamed to ask my parents for access to their HBO Go account?

I survived. But I'd be lying if I said I don't think about you every once in a while.

Don't misunderstand me. I'm glad we went our separate ways. You still act like such a jerk. When are you going to learn that it's wrong to force people to buy hundreds of channels they don't watch when they really only want a dozen or so? I know, I know—that's just how the business works; it's how you've made money for decades. But have you ever thought about how that makes the people you're supposed to care about, i.e., your subscribers, feel? Sometimes I think you're missing a sensitivity chip. You should watch more Oprah and fewer house-flipping programs.
