Has anyone noticed that the price of Thoughts is on the rise these days? I think it’s gone up about 15 cents today even. Now that’s just crazy. Or is it?
Seems to me that this is a case of simple economics. HA! Yeah, like there’s such thing as SIMPLE economics. However, economics is the cruel temptress at play here.
See, we all know about supply and demand, don’t we? People want furbies, people buy furbies, there are fewer furbies, the price goes up. People don’t want the new O-Town CD, people don’t buy the new O-Town CD, truckloads of the new O-Town CDs sit on record store shelves, the price goes down. (On a brief side note, I may be going to the “O-Town sucks” well once to often here, but, hell, repetition works for Letterman.)
Quite obviously, Thoughts, especially those of the brilliant staff here at T.J. Monkey’s, are in high demand. Therefore, we’ve tried to crank them out at a high rate, but dammit, people! We’re not machines! We need sleep. We need pee breaks. I mean, everyday with the clamoring for more thoughts…. We’re running out, for the love of God!
That’s why now, instead of us paying you to check out the site, it’s just going to be plain ol’ free.
You’ll have to deal….
