If you love pay TV (cable, satellite, DSL) the providers may start dangling incentives and actually listen to you.
If you hate pay TV or TV in general, you can rejoice that they are no only not increasing subscribers, but are losing more and more as people decide they need their shrinking budgets for more important things or are just sick of the excrement they see on the tube (or flat screen).

Google pays gays and lesbians more; I see lawsuits
On the surface this sounds worse than it is, but it is still bad because it shows an obvious prejudice and preference.
Google has decided to pay (retroactively) it's gay and lesbian workers who have "partners" extra money to cover taxes on benefits that cover the partners.
They are not doing the same for heterosexual couples, claiming that they can marry if they want the tax break.
This discriminates against the straights for their "lifestyle" choice and they can sue for it.
They can also claim that marriage has been devalued by the continued attempts to allow people who insist on labeling themselves with terms that differentiate themselves from the rest of society, yet demand to share the word that has always represented a union between a man and a woman.
