Remember when CNN realized MSNBC was the most visited news website thanks in part to its free video offerings and decided to eliminate its fee wall to attract broadband news junkies? Yeah, we kinda blocked that from our memory too.

Until this weekend, when CNN Pipeline debuted. It's CNN.com's new video-on-demand service that, ahem, you have to pay for. For $2.95/month or $24.95/year, you get all the commercial-free CNN video clips you could ever want. Or you could log on to MSNBC.com and watch the same drab reports for free.

We'll give you a minute to consider your options.
