    Only Masturbation Can Save Cable

    Porn porn porn. Cable companies are hoping to "quietly" sell enough pay-per-view porn to make, you know, a profit. Ad Age wrote a whole story about it just so it could use this quote:

    "If you you're creating something that's just going to be masturbatory, fine, but if you want to stay alive in this business, you have to do better. I like to say, 'Water is free, but we pay for it in a bottle.' That makes a lot of sense to me."

    Makes a lot of sense to America.
