Digital TV Delay Could Cause Confusion

Now that's a statement even a dog can't understand. If the transition doesn't happen and you turn your TV on and it works like it always did you are most likely going to have a mental breakdown. WRONG! We have spent millions of dollars in every possible way to communicate the change to digital TV.
We've probably watched more commercials about the transition than commercials about erectile dysfunction. We even hear that Federal Communication Chairman Kevin Martin sponsored a NASCAR that got wrecked early out of the pits to the tune of $355,000. Talk about government waste.
Lets be serious. The only people that really care about changing over to digital TV are the companies that provide digital TV so that they can eventually charge you more each month. We really don't care if Cesar Millan beams in a bit more sharply focused than with analog. And just think about the millions of families that are figuring out how to pay the rent and how to pay for groceries that are going to have their TV's go black because of this stupidty.
What's confusing is how our government can waste so much money and then say "Everybody's Going To Have To Give" while departments like the FCC just keep pissing money away.
