The cash cow that is "Glee"

Think about it.

Sure, the TV show "Glee", on Fox, is a big, surprise success so that right there is going to get them untold millions of dollars.

Good for them.

And it's about inclusiveness and open-mindedness and song and dance and just fun.  That's great.  (If only their owner, Rupert Murdoch, were for open-mindedness and inclusion).

So along with all that success, though, it seems Fox has really made a point of getting all the mileage--and dollars--out of this success they can.

Who knew they had an annual summer tour that crossed America?  

I sure didn't.

There's some more spondooliks, right there.

Then there's their sponsoring products.  They do an advertisement for Ritz Crackers I saw the other day.

And Chevrolet.  They do commercials for them.

Added to this is all the DVD's they sell.

AND the music downloads.

Now if only it didn't all just make Rupert Murdoch that much wealthier.

And more powerful.
