{Red Dragon begins}
I think it must be said that to start we must fully disclose that although the challenge begins tonight, technically we will not be starting watching On-demand television at the current moment, because there is a rather important football game that requires our attention as well. And yet we still think this is an important part of the challenge because we will be watching tv that is even more free and easily accessible than free on demand cable, basic channels. In fact we are watching a NETWORK station. So we must start at the start, as my father said, before he sat in his rocking chair and rocked back and forth.
Wow. So i have been wanting to talk about ESPN for a while now. The thing about ESPN is that it is so hilariously for men it makes me laugh sometimes. For example, they have a sports commentary show that is a COMPETITION. They make sports commentators compete on who is the best sports commentator. In the show, the commentators actually win and lose POINTS as they are TALKING, seemingly random
{Red Dragon loses interest, Zephyr Takes over}
SO, We're watching the Saints game. They're playing the Falcons and Red Dragon isn't sure they're going to win.
Ridiculous interception!

Red Dragon: "Everything is so Excited".
[Zephyr Alone]
Think of the costs with non-free on-demand cable (per month): $10.00-$50.00.
Average: Probably $35.00.
Population of the United States: 300,000,000+
Monetary cost of non-free on-demand cable for one month: 10,500,000,000. 10.5 Billion.
For one year: 126,000,000,000. 126 Billion.
For ten years: 1,260,000,000,000. 1.2 trillion.
Think of how much Health Care that could buy. 1.2 Trillion is way more than 894 Billion. Reid, Grassley, Snowe and Pelosi. They would all love to get their hands on this money. Let's help them!

THE Comcast ONDemand CHALLENGE: Issues and Considerations
[Red Dragon & Zephyr Together]
We, the people of the comcast challenge are serious about making a difference. When we see problems in the world, we set out to fix them, and we don't sleep until the work is done. That's why when we realized the myriad of issues surrounding more-than-basic-cable, we chose to take action. Over the next month, we will watch as much free on-demand television as possible. Nay, we will watch every single nugget of free on demand entertainment available through the Comcast on demand home entertainment network station.
Think of the problems: we, the New Generation, all purchase Comcast with the goal of being able to enjoy ourselves, to witness and perceive entertainment to experience and eductionalize. However, to get the Fullest Experience, we must continue to pay. We must donate our additional funds to Comcast Center to be able to watch the additional Television that we need to enjoy our Lives. For instance, I want HBO. HBO is where the good television lives. I have to spend more money, donate more funds to Comcast Center than the cost of free on-demand television to get at where the good television lives. This. Is. Unacceptable.
We, as the New Generation, need to convince ourselves that we are able to handle the rigor and challenge of enjoying free on-demand television. Without HBO, what shall we watch? That is at the core of the Comcast Challenge. You will follow us, Red Dragon and Zephyr, through our experiences watching only free on-demand television. We shall report on our adventures. What sort of ideas shall we meet? What shall we be brought to learn, and to witness? We will report out entire ascent of the mountain, twittering and blogging from every Hillary Step, from every Numbered Camp. We might not be the firsts (and certainly not the last) climbers to see the peak, but we shall let you know about every detail in painstaking resolution.
As I've learned through watching MTV True Life: The 200th Episode, the most courageous and selfless thing a person can do is tell their story as honestly as possible in the hopes that it will reach the right people at the right moment---and maybe, just maybe, change their life forever. That is why we have committed ourselves fully to the ethos of a documentarian---no matter what we witness, how involved we get in the lives of these tv characters, how moved we are by their predicaments and how badly we want to intervene--we can't, and we won't. We will only report what we see.
Enjoy.
