thatcrazycajunNBC Universal supremo Jeffrey Zucker is showing even more chutzpah in new reports of his comments on the southerly heading of his company's deal with Apple Inc. (See MacDailyNews story here.) Since Steve Jobs & Co. won't let him have price increases on the hot new hit shows like Heroes and The Office (as opposed to older shows that may not be pulling the same boffo Nielsen numbers and sales figures), he wants a share of the revenues from sales of the iPod and iPhone themselves, arguing that Apple's gigundo success with these devices is in part due to the iTunes Store's NBC-U show offerings. That's right, folks: Jeff thinks Apple should console him with a cut of the hardware profits for not being willing to allow "flexible" pricing.
As MDN puts it, "We're all for people getting fair compensation for their work, but not for work they didn't do." Hear, hear! The Jeffster's got humongous balls made of brass, I'll give him that, but he's also looking awfully greedy and immature.
Hey, Jeff, hear this? It's the world's smallest violin, and it's playing just for you. What an unmitigated asshat.
