FCC Chairman converts to Cult of the Holy TiVo

Matthew writes: In a bizarre statement that’s just too hysterical to be true (but is), FCC Chairman Michael Powell confirmed that his new TiVo was his favorite Christmas present, and that it is “God’s Machine”. His statements seem to confirm that he has joined the TiVo faithful, and more importantly, that SlashNOT was right about TiVo all along.
As reported numerous times in Slashnot, TiVo faithful (or TiVotees) have shown increasingly bizarre behavior recently. But the conversion of the most important person in television industry regulation to the Cult of TiVo has dire implications for the Cult’s enemies. Powell has already stated publicly that he would like to share TiVo recordings with family members. In related news, MPAA chairman Jack Valenti was found curled up in the fetal position in his office and was unresponsive to co-workers.
