Once again my morning session with KCBS managed to garner my ire. This time is was a story about CBS’ online streaming of the NCAA tournament free of charge. y’know, kinda like watching television is free of charge?

anyway, the story goes on and they bring in another analyst who’s just singing the praises of CBS. Granted there is a bit of conflict of interest considering KCBS is owned by CBS, but whatever. what really got me was when this analyst said, “This is a brilliant move by cbs.”

Brilliant? . . . Really? . . . Brilliant?!? No, this is not brilliance, this is mother fucking common sense! I mean any fool you ask would tell you that they’d want to see what they want, whenever they want to (tivo, anyone?). Giving the people what they want is brilliant? No. Relativity, that’s brilliant. String theory, that’s brilliant.  Ron Artest-for-Peja and the latest Burger Kings commercials are brilliant. There’s nothing brilliant about CBS streaming. In fact, I bet you the engineers at CBS have been trying to make this happen for years. I also bet you the people who stopped those engineers are the same spineless folk who are going to take the credit for making this “Brilliant” move.

Which brings me to another question: why am i getting so ticked off by AM radio these days?
