WTF does that mean? The only TV I have watched in the last five or six years is currently stored on my iPod -- a little Law and Order SVU and a lot of CSI. (I take that back -- I rented the whole Six Feet Under series when I was house-sitting out in the country. But that's it.) I paid $1.99 per episode, so that I could carry Chris Meloni and William Petersen (Det. Stabler and Dr. Grissom, respectively) around in my pocket and watch whenever I want, pausing at will, re-watching as many times as I choose, without commercials or anything else that annoys me. In other words, I want what I want when I want it, and I am willing to pay for it. I thought the term for that was "human being fortunate enough to have a little disposable income." It turns out that makes me a "niche media junkie." Who knew? Niche media junkies? WTF does that mean?
