pjthompsonRandom quote of the day:
“The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason."
—Hunter S. Thompson, Generation of Swine: Tales of Shame and Degradation in the '80s
(Here's an amusing article on how often and pervasively this quote has been misquoted and rewritten to suit various agendas; also, the internet and urban legends.)
