Just had another guy ask how we stay in business giving away all these DVDs. How do you make any money? he asked, quite seriously.

Well, I said, if we were a business we’d probably be in trouble, but since we aren’t trying to make any money, we’re doing OK.

Update: he looked at the shelves, said “there’s too much to look at here, so I can’t choose anything. I mean, what do you watch?” and left.

America is screwed.

Remember that place you went before mega chain bookstores and the Internet? You know, 15 years ago? IT IS STILL THERE! AND IT IS STILL FREE! It always was an continues to be.

How did you forget?

America is screwed because the very idea that a thing doesn’t make money confuses this guy.
