I've said it before and I'll say it again. On the Internet, the deer now have guns. And when the deer have guns, you get into the ammunition business.

Amazon is looking to add some new shows to its streaming video library -- specifically, yours.
The online e-commerce giant with the burgeoning Instant Video site has announced a major initiative from its Amazon Studios wing: Starting now, Amazon is accepting ideas for TV shows from anybody who has a pilot script, an idea for five or six episodes, and an Internet connection. Amazon says that it will be selecting one idea per month to put into development. If it passes muster and Amazon decides to produce a full slate of shows, the creator will be given $55,000, up to five percent on sales of licensed merchandise, and "other royalties and bonuses". 

Remind me again. Why should you pay for cable?
