Okay, nothing like a little stroll by the messageboards for Pink TV (the French gay TV channel) to convince me that I really have better things to do with my money. If I have to be militant, I’ll just subscribe to Têtu — the historic French gay magazine. My satellite network’s website is a messy and poorly coded as ever, but it now announces the possibility to remove an option by email (it was until recently only possible by snail mail… yeah, in 2005 still), so we’ll see if they follow through. I don’t like the fact they demand your cell number, and I like even less the fact I caved in so they wouldn’t use it as an excuse to ignore my request and let me linger. They’re particularly famous for doing everything they can to prevent you from ending susbcriptions (like, allowing you to add options on the web, but only removing them by snail-mail), so I wouldn’t put anything past them. And I’m scared of what kind of spam SMS I’ll be getting in the following months.
