It’s amazing how 100% of the companies that make their living distributing other people’s content are run by absolute morons. Like, they fulfill no meaningful purpose in society — these are the guys from the Hitchhiker’s Guide that got sent in the first ship. I mean, you literally could put an African Grey parrot in charge of NBC and it’d make better decisions. (For one, there’d be a lot more shows about pirates, which would be awesome.) I defy anyone to think of a good decision that a record or TV or movie company has made recently. Let’s sue teenagers! Let’s make it impossible to enjoy our content over the web! Let’s fund the seventeenth sequel to a crappy movie that barely made money! Let’s have a fall season full of the same shit we’ve made a hundred times! Let’s fire our writers and go entirely with reality shows that aren’t real! Let’s give outrageous amounts of money to washed-up artists and ignore the new talent that’s actually selling records now! Let’s cancel shows that are at all interesting and have a smart audience, because only stupid people watch TV now! Let’s sue sue sue instead of create create create!
