Cheapskates
Of the eight or ten new CDs I purchased this week, two of them came bundled with (free! limited edition!) DVDs. That's not counting the half dozen DVDs that were similarly bundled with CDs I had bought earlier. Let me get this straight: I'm supposed to be thankful for the opportunity to buy a CD for $20 when a DVD with not only sound but moving pictures is cheap enough to produce that it can be included for free? Of the two media empires represented here, recording and film, which one do you think is stagnating and which one is posting record growth: the one that has repeatedly blamed its customers for its reduced earnings or the one offering its customers inexpensive yet high-quality goods?
