The service is literally a bunch of shows you can already watch on TV by definition. 

This week, Deadline reported that Wolf could bring a couple of originals to the service, with possibilities including Law & Order: Hate Crimes and New York Undercover.

I wouldn’t say the product itself is a flop but the launch was handled super poorly. It was ridiculously unclear which platform between GO, NOW, and MAX would have which programs, where and how they’d be available. Then toss in a bunch of last minute changes and deals and suddenly we went from “you’re SOL in terms of…

There is absolutely no reason for Peacock or HBO Max to have talks and get a “deal” with Roku or Amazon. What these meetings are about is asking for MONEY from the streaming companies while they shouldn’t! Roku and Amazon have a programming SDK where anyone can create an app and upload it to their platforms. But no!…

After subscribing to Disney+ and HBO MAX, I find that having a plethora of old shows does not hold my interest, not like new shows.  So if Peacock is just going to serve me old reruns, then I’ll pass.  

HBO whatnow?

“We made a vehicle that is only designed for rock crawling, and it has the most atrocious breakover angle in the history of mankind. Why? Fuck you, that’s why. Next we’ll put the Hellcat motor in and make if front wheel drive only.”

Do you want a $60K midsize pickup? Because this is how you get a $60K midsize pickup.

The point is that Tracy or Collins should have written or edited this. 

“That’s great, but the 2021 Jeep Gladiator EcoDiesel will only be available on trims that also come decked out for rock-crawling, so it’s not going to be cheap.”

The Sasquatch Package is the one you’ll hear about, but never actually find it.

While this is probably a very poor financial decision for all involved it’s very likely that both the house and the cars are rented/leased rather than purchased outright, especially as this is a business arrangement rather than a traditional home purchase. It tends to be the same for musicians and athletes. They want…

The local blowcain dealer is already rubbing his hands in anticipation.

Telling moment:  “This is the coolest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life” he says pointing to his “snack bar”.  The coolest thing you’ve ever done is buy some sweets and put them in a jar?  Really?  Are you 8?

There are also two ever-important factors that must be calculated here.
1) Human Nature - humans indulge in over-consumption and materialism,there are almost no exceptions to this. When told “you can have/do/buy/eat anything you want!” then they will always go to the most extreme.

2) Humans are naturally stupid, even…

If I were 14, this might spark envy in my soft little brain. As a man in his 30s, I can only think that some incredibly bad decisions are going to be made in that ridiculously gaudy house, and these kids are just not ready for it.

It’s not going to burn down, but they’re all definitely going to be broke and living with their parents again in a year.

If this sugar and plastic pile burns down it’ll probably caramelize.

This strangely reminds me of one of my childhood movies Blank Check(1994).

Imagine creating an organization that celebrates conspicuous consumption and unearned wealth and then having either the extreme self-awareness, or the extreme lack thereof, to call your organization One Percent.
