TiVo is Foolish When it is Enormous

No one listens. A bunch of my cronies put their money together and invested in a DVR theater. They figured that people like to see movies on the big screen and get popcorn and all that, but people didn’t like to be held to a rigid time schedule. So my cronies combined the personalized features of TiVo with the auditorium-sized features of a movie show — plus concessions! — and built a Tivo Movie Show. Of course it failed. Every time new people came in they would start the whole movie over again. It led to fights.

I had warned them. I told them about the flop of my 100 foot book idea — you know, so readers could enjoy the collective pleasure of a theater audience — but they didn’t listen. I know how Cassandra felt.
