“This is actually a success because he could have lost even MORE money!” This is not the winning argument you think it is.

They canceled, destroyed, and erased massive amounts of art, but it was all worth it because they also lost money! Don’t worry though, Zazlav was still paid $247 million to accomplish nothing.

Is nothing sacred?

My god, what will kids have on in the background during sick days after The Price Is Right? 

“In fact, 5 million-plus more viewers reportedly turned in for the Rihanna concert than for the game, indicating that the Super Bowl needed the Bajan superstar’s shine much more than she needed its exposure”

OK, but her leverage vis-a-vis the NFL is basically gone now. No one has headlined the Super Bowl halftime show twice since Up With People.

It just means cash is more important than morals. And before some little Einstein says “she didnt get paid!”, nice try:

Gad was surprisingly not annoying at times. But mostly the show felt like it was always *just about* to turn the corner and become a tight,…

Because they’ve managed to maintain some level of success in spite of their respective controversies, and the only place that would stream her latest comedy special is some bullshit Fox News app that nobody uses?

Man, white people never got over the Fruity Pebbles era of rap.

In the current context, calling out Pfizer super vaguely without context doesn’t scream pro-vaccine.
