Today's Fool Me Tee Vee

When you finally toss your crappy Kindle in the trash because it cracked, or because of the expense, or because of the censorship, or because you grasp renting isn't owning a book, or because of all the ads you can't skip (and believe me, it's coming), don't pretend there wasn't somebody warning you and there isn't somebody laughing at you.

More Fool Me Tee Vee here.

The Kindle already has an ad-supported version for $25 cheaper.

It's the Kindle "with Special Offers". You gotta love the corporate newspeak. Just like there are no employees anymore. Everyone is an "associate", even the guy who mops the floors.

This is the result of 30 years of marketing "analytics" and industrial-organizational psychology.
