My first gripe of the new year is really an old gripe. I was flipping around the other night and came across a South Park episode on The Comedy Network that was a parody of the Lord of the Rings. I keep seeing advertisements that you can watch South Park on the web so I decided tonight to go look for the episode. I found it and got a big pop up saying that my OS wasn't supported. I forgot about the acute DRM paranoia surrounding video on the web. Sigh.

Second gripe of the new year Ticketmaster. They want a $9.25 convenience fee and an additional $1.75 for the privilege of printing out the ticket at home. That's $11 in fees on a $25 ticket. There is also a $2 building facility fee. Why isn't that built into the ticket price?
