The disadvantage of watching tv shows on Megavideo

The above is a picture is how I learned that Megavideo requires a paid subscription if you want to watch more than two tv show episodes one after another. I didn’t know that. I thought Megavideo was like Youtube (unlimited watching for free, yipee), except the individual videos could be longer than 10 minutes. I guess I was wrong. Oh well. People do need to make money.

Megavideo is actually very smart in cutting you off at the 72 minute mark. Most one-hour television shows are just over forty minutes with the commercials cut out. This allows Megavideo to cut you off just before the end of your second show (if you are watching two, or two back-to-back episodes), so you don’t know the ending. And you always want to know the ending. Though not enough to go get their paid subscription.

I can certainly wait 54 minutes or until tomorrow. I have a long to-do list to complete, and should be completing it, rather than watching pointless mindless television dramas that I’m so infatuated with. I just love procrastination. Procrastination fills my life.

The way I see it (which is all wrong, really), life has meaningful parts to it, but between those meaningful parts are fillers, like staring at a screen. It’s kind of like how they put bad filler songs in between the good songs on an album. Okay, bad analogy. But then again, everything has fillers, from CDs to cheap makeup to restaurant menus and the list goes on.

From previous experiences, I have a feeling that by tomorrow, the One Tree Hill episode that I was watching will have been taken down for copyright infringement.
