Digital Cable typo listing How to Blow a Billionaire

It's true. I have lost some of my love for Megacable, but I'm saving that for another post.

In any case, it's a sure-fire way to get people to tune and check it out, even if it is cheating a little.

At least they do properly label it as an 'adult' show.

When I think of ways to blow a billion dollars, semi-attractive skankwads and pitchers of beer top the list.
