The economics of sucking up to Trump and Skydance after Colbert helped make them worth $8 billion

He's called George Cheeks because he's getting them clapped by authoritarians.

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

"average person gets their cheeks clapped by authoritarians 3 times a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person gets clapped 0 times per year. Cheeks George, who lives in cave & gets clapped over 10,000 times each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

But they could afford the price tag of South Park? Bullshit.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not saying they're doing the right thing here, but if South Park is making money and Colbert is losing money it's not really a like for like comparison.

Good thing it was executive cowardice that lost money, not the shows

If I managed the biggest program in my segment and I lost money on it they'd fire me.

Man. Without them being willing to confirm how much they're actually losing... it still feels sus to me.
