Rogers Expands Rogers on Demand

TORONTO- Rogers Com­mu­ni­ca­tions ever-grow­ing lust to build an impe­ri­ous monop­oly over Cana­di­ans announced today details about their upcom­ing sec­ond-gen­er­a­tion Rogers On Demand ser­vice.

‘It fun­ny how it came to us,’ said an unapolo­getic Ted Rogers, ‘(The board and) I sat in my arbore­tum, just beneath my own small ten foot gold stat­ue of myself won­der­ing just how to expand the ser­vice beyond just movies. Then it hit us. Not every­one likes to just watch movies.’

Accord­ing to their news release, Rogers On Demand will now include ser­vices from drugs, gam­bling and pros­ti­tu­tion. ‘We sim­ply could not believe we had neglect­ed such an obvi­ous mar­ket before. It might be a low denom­i­na­tor clien­tele, but we are talk­ing hun­dreds of mil­lions here.’ added Andrew Cor­ri­pio head of Rogers’s glob­al mar­ket­ing.

‘You will find our prices to be very com­pet­i­tive. Not only that, there is also the extra advan­tage of bundling Rogers On Demand with any of our oth­er tele­pho­ny or cable ser­vices, trust me, you will def­i­nite­ly see some real sav­ings on your month­ly bill. We are very excit­ed about our prospects.’

After being asked about the fact this ini­tia­tive might be con­sid­ered ille­gal by both local and fed­er­al author­i­ties, Mr. Rogers added: ‘I have nev­er giv­en a fuck about what they thought in the past, I see no rea­son why to I should care now.’
