Going to desperate lengths for Dexter


In an earlier post, I blogged about the struggle of finding episodes of my favorite TV show, Dexter, online.

Last week, disgusted by the time delays on iTunes, I took my search to Google and finally found a low quality version on a random blog--worth the search. I'll take what I can get.

Yesterday I went out on a virtual quest for episode three, resulting in a forty five minute search before I finally nabbed a half-decent copy. Mind you, half-decent was a 3 second delay between the video and the sound.

The journey to find this copy was the most disgusting aspect of the whole ordeal. I patiently navigated the seedy underbelly of the Internet, sifting through Winrar suggestions, false links leading to pornographic websites, mandatory surveys, pop-up ads that defied my filter, and Asian uploads featuring comically large subtitles.

If I was surfing from a PC, it would be at tech repair right now.
