die fx.

Television networks are stupid sometimes.  I watched the pilot of fx's new show american horror story on hulu.  I kind of wanted to watch it when i saw promotions before the air date, but didn't dvr it because i wasn't really motivated about seeing it until i heard feedback from some friends. FX was smart in their decision to put their pilot on the most easy to use internet site for watching tv, but then their decisions made a turn for the decidedly stupid.

American horror story is being aired online on an 8 day delay.  That means that the second episode can be viewed online one day after the third episode is aired on television.  I wanted to watch the second episode today, so that i could watch the new one tomorrow night, but i can't.  Television ratings only count if you watch it live, or recorded within twenty four hours after airing.  This means that i was going to convert from watching fx's show in a way that doesn't help them to a way that would possibly make them money, but they did not let me.  I now am stuck in a loop of constantly being a week behind, or watching a pirated version of their show on the internet, which i am sure is not their goal.  FX is stupid for setting up a system that encourages viewers to watch their show illegally online rather than in a format that could help them make a profit off of a show they seem to have spent a lot of money on.

i wish i watched this episode.

Who is buffy the vampire slayer? Let me know if i am right or wrong on this one.

this is how voldemort turned evil you guys.

He was just going about his day, hating muggles but doing nobody any harm, and then some wizard with muggle parents went up and stole voldie's nose. He did it out of spite because he disagreed with his politics (which were admittedly pretty prejudicey). Look at voldemort directly after he had his nose stolen. Do you see how shocked he is? See how, now that he has no nose, he has been turned into a red-eyed only-a-fraction-of-a-soul-having evil arch villain?

So the moral of the story is, don't go around stealing the noses off of people, especially if they have crazy right wing politics (i'm looking at you guy who is sneaking up behind bill o'reilley). Nose stealing is dangerous and has unforeseen consequences.
