AT&T gonna save DC movies

 

[MenacingMonk]

You can say, "We're gonna get together and blacklist AT&T!" but...

A lot of people have their iphones and mobiles connected to AT&T
A lot of people are gonna go spend loot seeing DC comic movies (Warner Bros.)
Even though it's shyt, CNN still holds weight when it comes to news.
And who's not gonna watch HBO series? You gonna blacklist Game of Thrones?

It's gotten to the point now where we the people are literally powerless when it comes to these companies. We're there to consume, and that's it.

It's not powerless. It's that people don't want their material "needs" to stop.

It's not powerless. It's that people don't want their material "needs" to stop.

But the problem will arise when they decide they want additional vertical integration, and start to acquire the products that they only sponsor. Let's say Chevrolet is a sponsor of WB for their shows/movies, so now AT&T decides that they want to incorporate Chevrolet into all of their companies, so they buy it. Seems far fetch but this ish is gonna happen.
