Didn't know what TMZ was, so I looked it up. It's an AOL affiliated 'Celebrity Gossip' website. Pretty lame content within. Stop giving attention to these nobody's Charlyne, or at least mock the fact that they were created by the antithesis of cool: AOL.

While I'm sure they have a website their main thing is a television show which hundreds of thousands of people watch. I respect that you don't watch television(I'm guessing). I've got a television two meters (6 feet for Americans) away from me right now and I haven't turned it on in several months. The medium of television should become extinct. You're given 2/3 of what you want to watch and 1/3 corporate propaganda (also included is when you should/can watch it). Fuck television. I'll stop ranting now. >> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

Oops. The TMZ front page makes no mention of television programming, local affiliates, schedules, etc...

This is the kind of crap that caused me to ditch TV in the first place.

Issy and I abandoned broadcast TV almost a decade ago and have had zero regrets. Netlix and an Xbox360 provide superior content, on demand and commercial free, for chump change.

Cable: $1200 per year

Netflix + Xbox: $408 for the first year; $108 after that (Xbox: $300 / Neflix 1 dvd plus streaming $9 x 12 = $108)

$1200
-$108
-----
$1092

Is basic cable programming TMZ really worth $1092?
