Ars technica has a petulant headline: iTunes UK welcomes BBC shows while rest of world waits. Only a media-hungry spoiled brat could entertain a headline like that when you see the content available on the US store. Are we to assume the writer, Jacqui Cheng, has already purchased everything off the US iTunes store?
Er, tough shit. How about the fact that we in the UK still can’t buy movies through iTunes? You forget that? That’s the problem with bloggers and journalists – because you put finger to keyboard you develop a sense of entitlement.
The comments as usual, make my day:
At the risk of sounding sour, but in future please add the phrase “while the rest of the world waits” to all posting about iTunes content that is available only in the USA.
Tell you what- you vote in a Democrat, you get the Beeb’s shows on iTunes. Fair?
With the greatest possible respect, you guys wouldn’t know what to do with The Mighty Boosh. You fear the lack of rules, the lack of boundaries. It’s all just chaos, shapes, primal. “Ooh I’m lost—it’s a fence, no it’s soft!â€
Heh…
One reason why I don’t read Ars. There’s a bit to much of a sense of “But…But…We’re…ARS! How can we be wrong?
I do feel like unleashing my wrath on some unsuspecting retailer right now. And not just the ones who owe me money.
Must be bloggeritis.
Thanks for the comment, John.
