Of course, average people don't have the expenses of Hollywood assholes. Also, you could just have left the body of your text blank and your subject header would have been validated. To pile on, you could have also noted that Johnson implies that he invented podcasting, and claims that, in the mid 1990s "I was the 'it' guy for television and, you know, for pop culture at the time". His real claim to fame is as the man who single handedly made Cheech Marin un-cool. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
