Hey, if we could get the current administration out and behind bars before they allow Disney to start buying up all the theaters, that'd be great.

I'd worry more about already established corporate monstrosities like Comcast and AT&T before Disney.

You know I don't hate those companies, I just wish they'd stop buying everything. I'd like to review a video game without worrying about them going "REEEEEE! Stolen content! Arrest this man!"

As far as I understand it in the article, those decrees are 71 years old. A lot has changed in that time.

Plus there's this:

I think the laws should be reformed and modernized to keep up with the times instead of getting outright thrown out. The laws aren't fundamentally bad, just old.

Block booking could in theory mean your local theater only shows (for example) Disney product. Independent films would suffer.

“We have determined that the decrees, as they are, no longer serve the public interest, because the horizontal conspiracy – the original violation animating the decrees – has been stopped.”

Oh, so since nobody is currently breaking this law, we therefore no longer need the law at all! Yeah, that makes sense...

I mean, with the expense of feeding and watering a law in today's economy, we really can't afford to keep it alive if nobody's violating it.

Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

Watching some of the COPPA videos on YouTube. Man I really feel sorry for a lot of these toy reviewers. They're getting raped big time. Hell I think Pixel Dan was doing everything in his power just to keep from breaking down in tears.

One MORE reason to get this assclown out of office, be it impeachment and behind bars or voting him out.

Like I NEEDED any more reason to loathe this orange idiot.

Well here in the UK, knife crime is out of control. Hardly a week goes by without some one getting killed with a knife. I hope that this is a wake up call for the government to get off there butts and do something about this.

I don't know what they could do outside of putting metal detectors everywhere and putting limits that stores can't sell them to anyone below 18, I mean gun control is one thing, not everyone needs or uses a gun but knives? Pretty much everyone has at least one kitchen knife for cooking.

Britain is a bloated, flaccid corpse of a country. I had hoped Brexit would be an uncucking moment but alas

In a move that suprises no one Michael Bloomberg, former mayor of NYC, has joined the race to become the Democratic presidential candidate

Hope they all choke on it

A South Korean civic group has filed a complaint with local prosecutors against the Walt Disney Company, claiming that Frozen 2 violated the country's antitrust act by showing on 88 percent of domestic movie screen.
Between this, the mouse demanding 75% of the money cinemas make from showing Disney product and them getting investigated for lying about they income as well as the US government trying to get rid of the Paramount Decree. The next year is going to be something.

If things get worse for the UK, I imagine that more and more people will turn on the monarchy.
