Open Letter to Journalists
Open letter to journalists (New York version): Would you STOP WITH THE F****ING SENSATIONALISM ALREADY?! YOU'RE MAKING AN ASS OUT OF A MOLEHILL. I don't want to EVER hear you say "the biggest ever" or ANY variation of it ever again. It is meaningless fluff to try to make whatever it is you're going on about seem like the most important thing and that we should actually pay attention.
I'll let you in on a little secret: Until things get "as bad as they've ever been" due to global warming, overpopulation, famine, and war, things will ALWAYS be the "biggest they've ever been" because:
- The world population is still growing, EXPONENTIALLY
- We still have people immigrating to the US
- Your numbers can always be skewed. Take for example this article on Pixar that says: "Pixar Animation Studios has reached infinity and beyond. From 1995's Toy Story - the world's first all-CG feature - to last year's Finding Nemo, Pixar's five hermetically crafted movies have grossed a staggering $2.5 billion at the box office, making it the most successful film studio, picture for picture, of all time".
Hey - I love Pixar as much as the next guy, but Disney was the only game in town until Fantasia flopped in the theaters and they pledged to make only "formula films" that would make everyone happy. They've been around since 1923.
Thank you and good night.
