Greed
Pronunciation: \ˈgrēd\
Function: noun
Etymology: back-formation from greedy
Date: 1609
: a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (as money) than is needed
The news coverage of the various collapses of fabled Wall Street institutions (Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch...) is so sad and pathetic, it's almost comical. I guess it would truly be funny if so many people weren't affected, and I'm not referring to the investment bankers. The word "greed" has been tossed around by various pundits, news reporters, and even our presidential candidates. Go figure, greed (one of the seven deadly sins), might be at the root of this crisis,
Ironically, Team Television 101 created a television series, titled "Greed" that has attracted some attention. We feel it has the potential to be a huge hit. I guess it's all about timing. We want to find the perfect network. Our bets are on a few great networks. I think you know who they are. Anyhow, let the best cable or traditional network WIN!
