Yeah, ain't it great to have control over both your advertizing expenses budget and the subscriber numbers you report. That way, any time you want (like two quarters in a row), you can cut back on ad expenses and still report subsriber growth. Wow, Stevie wrote the book when it comes to shenanigans. Hell, though, the man is a visionary in that respect. Even the likes of Disney and IBM are doing large doses of the same these days.
