Oh no is the rich celebrity butt hurt their product didn’t sell.

Oh no what is the rest of the world going to do?

Probably focus on real issues instead of your advertising disguised as a story.

Rich fucking shithead.

    Salesman talking about mediocre sales.

    Nothing about this is credibly a good story or worth reading as a movie enthusiast.

    This is corporate propaganda at best.

    You're not allowed to watch any movies or TV shows ever. By nature of audience size, they generate big incomes. You support the rich if you do. So you won't now, right?

    As much as the other guy is a trolling shithead, that logic you're using is about as stupid as the people who claim a pirated copy is literally a lost sale...

    Not only do movies and media in general have zero requirements for massive paychecks, there are many great shows/movies with tiny budgets where the people involved very much did NOT make The Rock sized wages. So you're plain wrong even on a fundamental level, let alone what you meant by using it as a response...

    It doesn't make OP right, it just makes that a very, very dumb comment, let alone comeback.

    I agree with you, but the context doesn't make much sense. I can be cryptic, so it's my bad.

    I hear you. I just have to push back against anyone who is clearly assuming certain jobs simply deserve their insanely high paychecks. Virtually nobody should be making The Rock kind of money, and anyone operating on the assumption that it's not only totally fine but should be assumed for some jobs really gets my hackles up.

    Fuckin' made my day. Oh, lordy.

    One of those snorts that's almost an actual laugh out loud moment. And no, you didn't make any jokes unless this is like some sort of character. Good shit.
