“… While the internet is new and exciting for creative people, it hasn’t matured as a distribution mechanism… It will be a few years before digital distribution of media on the Internet can be monetized to an extent that necessitates content producers to forgo their fair value in more traditional media…” – Kyle, South Park

I know, I shouldn’t be quoting cartoon characters as proof of anything, but sometimes the greatest truth is found in satire. And the April 2 episode of South Park, “Canada on Strike,” is satire at its best, skewering everyone from the Writers Guild of America to Denmark to the stars of YouTube…

I couldn’t agree more with South Park’s sentiments on this issue. As a media junkie, I love Web 2.0; from a business perspective, it’s 2.Overrated.

Be sure to watch the entire episode, “Canada on Strike.” (Warning — for immature audiences only: This online version of South Park is uncensored.)
