Oil of course. He is from Norway and they have more oil than USA these days.

For me who lives in neighbouring Sweden and suffers from the exact same problems as he does (when it comes to this. I have no oil so I don't have a problem not knowing what to spend my money on). The discussions raises lots of good points. I would pay to watch Lost at the same time as my friends in USA. I know its not a right to watch it at the same time but it sure as hell makes my social life with Americans better since we can discuss actual events. So why doesn't anyone say the same about news? News is published all over the net and there is large corporations that wants to make money of news. If you read something on AP and then publish it on your website, isn't that stealing too? AP have people employed that have kids and bills and stuff too. People don't have any problems copying news because everyone feels like that is public domain but in the end there is people that actually reports these events, creates them if you will (and some are more "created" than others.
