Commented on Comcast eats NBC: every media mega-merger needs a cautionary infographic
GE has been in control of NBC, at least Comcast is in the media business. I'm just hoping they decide to charge separately to carry Faux News. That would be awesome. Remember the School House Rock Parody "Media Monopoly?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYYgIl6Gso4...

Commented on Atheists who'll take in your pets after the Rapture
