  1. Sony's film division is one of the few profitable divisions of the company which isn't exactly in the greatest shape. Several large shareholders have already called for Sony to sell/spinoff films/TV division. Another one or two underwhelming Spidey films could prompt Sony to selling it back to Marvel so as to not erode the general profitability of the studio (I can't imagine the price going for much under $1B, Spidey is by far the most valuable Marvel IP).

  2. The number one reason (besides that newspapers are dying) - TV stations get wall-to-wall political ads and newspapers don't. That corporations are people decision was the greatest gift to TV stations since the infomercial.

    The companies that make printing presses are certainly going out of business, but newspapers/organizations certainly aren't. People will always be willing to pay for quality information and journalism, the only issue is the medium in which said organizations use to reach readers. (Okay, perhaps papers like the Tulsa Daily and other small-town papers could potentially shut down for good, but brand names like WSJ, NYT, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, USA Today, etc. will ALWAYS have a loyal, paying subscriber base)

  3. Anyone who base who they vote for on election ads shouldn't be allowed to vote.

    Oh HELLS yes.

    This x 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.

    Unfortunate considering ads typically aim for the "swing voter," who 99% of the time decide general elections. (But given the time here, I'm assuming you're talking about a primary election, where the further out you go the greater chance you have of winning. Also ironic considering primary/base voters are the ones most informed about issues, and thus not the ones who need ads to sway their decision-making anyway. See: Cantor, Eric.)
  4. In 2014 Howard on the radio is more entertaining than 99.9999% of TV programming.

    If you can deal with his hypocrisy, the 3 shows a week, ad nauseum vacations and the fact that since Artie left there is nothing funny about the show. Oh and the how big is your cock crap that was funny never...Other than that, he's great.

    It's still better than some TV, but he's honestly been eclipsed by Opie and Anthony at this point.

    Hypocrisy regarding? Sure 3x a week sucks compared to 4 or 5, but it's better than nothing. Guy is 60, been on the air since, what, 1980? 81? Not like he hasn't earned an easier schedule. And of course Artie was great, but I honestly don't believe the quality of the overall show has dropped since his departure.

    O&A are fine, but you can't complain about cock jokes on Howard when every other line outta Norton's mouth (who I think is hysterical) is about banging some gross hooker on a dirty mattress at 3 in the afternoon.
