    However it's quite efficient compared to what I believe is the most
    rendundant comminication in history: the 2-hour final episode of
    American Idol 2003. Millions of viewers tuned in to two hours of
    high-quality, uncompressed broadcast video whose primary purpose was
    to convey a single BIT of information: Clay or Ruben (it was Ruben,
    for those of you living in a cave).
