There's basically anything you want available for streaming plus oodles and oodles of free ****.

The idea of cable TV is fast looking obsolete

There is something nice about flicking through channels. From one set of adverts to another. And once you find something of interest it's nearly finished.

They also have a legal requirement to act within the law. I assume they are doing both.

It's the law that needs to be changed.

I liked the first one but the whole reboot thing just felt a bit desperate for me

The glw tells me I mustn't give them my business, so I comply. In fairness, she gets to put up with my BBC ban.

How are poor publishers supposed to make proper money if Amazon demand they sell the good stuff for f**ker and pence?

Is this a cultural reference with which I am unfamiliar, or are you accusing me of enjoying the concept of... well, I can't bring myself to say it :-(

everything up to a level of quality, we're obsessed with dragging everything down to a low price.

You seem to be suggesting something akin to state control over pricing...I may be wrong, though.

size between white and black men in this regard. The suggestion is that the stereotype is self-perpetuating in that anecdotal evidence inevitably supports the stereotype because not to do so would mean there was no anecdote worth mentioning. I have a black friend who gets quite grumpy on the subject because - let us say - he does not conform to said stereotype and is expected to. Although this may also because he is named 'Rod'.

The same research does point out that east Asian men are notably smaller, though. Bless 'em.

but I was thinking of getting an the Fire phone because a) I can get a really good deal and b) you get 6 months of Amazon prime with it. Is the phone really that **** though (I'll get it as a German phone and I can probably get a decent handset through my English contract so worse come to the worst I can swap sims)

Everything amazon do is perfectly legal (assuming they have implemented the structure correctly) nothing to see here, move on
