You’ve probably seen “The Wire.” If you haven’t, stop whatever the hell you’re doing and go to iTunes right now (the link will open iTunes, btw) and download every single season of the show, because each season is $12.99 for a limited time.

And, yeah, if you HAVE seen “The Wire,” you should probably head over there and download them anyway.

Look, I agree with you — sometimes only having a television show available via iTunes is a pain in the ass. No one will dispute that. After all, you can’t watch it on your television unless you have an iPad 2, an Apple TV or a bunch of, ahem, wires.

But $12.99? That’s a ridiculous steal.

By comparison, the entire collection of “The Wire” at Best Buy will cost you $179.99.

And each of the individual seasons at Best Buy will cost you $29.99. Note that both of those are not terrible prices. In fact, one could argue that’s pretty good value from the typical “season cost” of $49.99 or whatever.

But $13 for the best television show in the history of television (that works out to like $1 an episode, which is half price from what you normally see on iTunes) is just ridiculous, folks.
