Home Shopping Network Officially Launches New Streaming Service
The popular television station The Home Shopping Network announced that it is going to be launching its own streaming service called “Shopping+.” The service, costing $10.99 a month, was described in a press release as “allowing fans to relive the literal thousands of hours of content produced by the HSN and find the perfect way to spend that $100 your grandchild gave you for Christmas.”
When questioned about the service, CEO Andy Bareman said, “What? Every other goddamned company is creating a streaming service. Look at NBC! They saw that people liked “The Office” and thought that was enough to get people to pay five dollars a month — forgetting that the only reason “The Office” was so popular was because it was easily accessible on a streaming service everybody owned.”
Many people online have questioned the use of a paid streaming service whose only purpose is to sell them more products. In response, the official HSN Twitter account responded with: “You literally pay for Amazon Prime.”
