Duck, thanks, you've reminded me that it's been a while since I told you
that you were all BRAINLESS DROOLING WORTHLESS LOSERS for not already
having started to read "Infinite Jest", in which (among many other
things) broadcast TV dies as a result of a series of brilliantly
executed and intensely compelling yet extremely unpleasant ad campaigns
causes viewership to drop to nothing, and so they starts selling the
names of the years to corporate sponsors. In particular one of the years
that the book takes place in is Y.T.M.D. or Year of the Tucks Medicated
Pad. There's also Y.D.A.U. (Year of the Depends Adult Undergarment) and
about eight more.
