If It Weren't for My Horse ...

Soooooo, long story short, iTunes has begun to wrap its wretched fingers around my mouse hand and moved me forceably into click-mode thanks to Pepsi's new fucking promotion - "1 in 3 Wins a FREE Song on iTunes"!

It's not that I hate Apple and their software and the irritating degradation of interface customization ... well, actually I do. I don't want to use their simple silver iTunes interface. It looks just like everyone else's ... I want my own interface goddammit! And when I download a song for 99 cents, I want an MP3, not an M4P. You fucking assclowns ... a proprietary file format? I can only play my music in your shitty program? FUCK YOU, APPLE!

Damn it ... those are just a few of my issues. The biggest issue I have, by far, is the 99 cent matter. A two-minute song is 99 cents. An eight-minute song is ... 99 cents. All thirteen songs on an album are 99 cents each. How much does the entire album cost to download? $9.99. Less than 99 cents each. So ... is that like ... a bulk purchase program? WTF?

I thought about this for a long time, and then, just before I passed out, I thought, "If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year at college."
