Bonjour.
My name is Pierre Delacroix.
:01:06
I am a television writer.
A creative person.
:01:11
I'm one of those people
responsible for what you view...
:01:15
on your idiot box.
:01:18
The problem is,
not enough of you...
:01:21
have been watching out there
in television land.
:01:25
With the onslaught
of the internet, video...
:01:28
and interactive games,
900 channels to choose from...
:01:34
our valued audience
has dramatically eroded.
:01:39
To put it
in much simpler terms...
:01:42
Iike rats fleeing
from a sinking ship.
:01:47
People are tuning out
by the millions...
:01:50
which, needless to say,
is bad for business.
