because of piracy

Pushing daisies. i'm loving it. i was able to watch its pilot episode on 2nd avenue last tuesday. i love the plot, its vivid, psychedelic colors, and the way the story is presented-- just like the narration on will ferrell's 'stranger than fiction'! the sizzling-hot actor, lee pace, plays the role of ned, a pie maker, gifted with a marvelous and equally devastating gift of being able to "bring dead things back to life by touching them."

our bestfriend wiki says this unwanted talent goes like, "if something is revived for more than exactly one minute, something of similar "life value" in the vicinity drops dead, in a form of balance. Additionally, if he touches the revived thing a second time, it falls dead again - permanently. No amount of his prodding will ever bring it back again."

as expected, i got outrageously excited for the next episode, that i stayed awake the next night (despite my need to recharge for another night's work), waiting for the "it's gonna be a brighter day" tune to tickle my ears, only to find out that the station only runs it every tuesday (8-8:30 p.m.) and sunday (9-9:30 p.m.).

i was not over it, so i checked the website, got extra-excited for its online-viewing feature, and... hey, look at what i have found!


only viewers within the united states
can watch these full-length episodes


i just had the urge to edit my print-screen shot, to give emphasis, and to express alarm over the growing trend of piracy in the Philippines. it's really out of my business and my usual line of criticism, but see? i'm cursing the pirates now because i will not be able to watch pushing daisies over the net! sounds so stubborn, but i'm sure to hit a line of birds in one shot.
