RAI International made the crappy business decision to stop broadcasting with us, leaving me to deal with the flood of incredibly angry emails and phone calls from disgruntled Italians.
The funny thing is, a number of those emails complained that they pay "far too much for cable" to have us just up and change programming on them. Despite the obvious stupidity of that statement, there's one thing that strikes me as borderline brain dead: we're not a cable channel. We're free. Always have been. I've had to fight the very strong urge to point that out all morning.
I'm on my 23rd email. And it's only 9:30....
Also, I think I might have accidentally told an elderly Italian man that he should blame the donkeys... My Italian's more rusty than I thought. : \
