Glenn Becks new subscription internet show just started up, in case you havent noticed the fuckton of ads hes put everywhere. Normal subscribers pay $50 dollars for a full year of Glenn and for a measly $100 you get Glenn Beck TV PLUSTM. Which includes such gems as,

EXCLUSIVE Documentaries about the coming apocalypse

The behind the scenes "Making of Glenn Beck TV" and,

QuoteLiberty Treehouse  Weekdays 4pm-5pm ET, starting September 19th. This 1-hour program for the younger set, hosted by GBTV's Raj Nair, will be a destination for the after school crowd that explores the whys and wherefores of the day's news through the prism of the next generation

Yes, Glenn Beck for the kids. I cant figure out which I want this to be more, Glenn dancing around with puppets and talking about FEMA camps or Glenn trying to be "hip" and teaching teenagers about how Socialism is totally wack yo.

Isn't there something in the newsfeed about profiting from the stupidity of people something something?  I can't remember it word for word but it's one of my favorite newsfeed quotes.

I'm not convinced Beck isn't just a really, really good troll for both Democrats and Republicans.

It's Nassim Nicholas Taleb:

"The characteristic feature of the loser is to bemoan, in general terms, mankind's flaws, biases, contradictions and irrationality-without exploiting them for fun and profit."

THAT'S why it seemed familiar.  I couldn't place it so just attributed it to some insightful and funny Discordian from here.  Guess I could have googled it.

Nice work on that other thread BTW.

Is there an internet version of SoundScan, that lets you know how many people are subscribers, and if you can plot their growth or shrinkage?
