I am behind this movement.
It's not a matter of Michael Browns actions, it is a matter that an organization made millions of dollars off his name, and did nothing with the money.
Pretty sure that is the definition of fraud. When you represent your cause as one thing, but then do something else with the money.
Remember that 'homeless' guy that gave strangers 20 bucks so they could put gas in their car and get home? Then those people made a go fund me for the 'homeless' guy, and people donated tens of thousands to the 'homeless' guy?
Then it turned out he wasn't homeless, and the couple and he made up the entire story to make a go fund me, made like 40-60 grand something like that. The husband used 10 grand of it to fund his world series of poker ticket, and she bought like a BMW, and they didn't give the 'homeless' guy shit?
So then he got mad and ran to the media and spilled the beans.
Those people were arrested for fraud.
I guess when you file a 501(c) and rake in hundreds of millions, that changes the rules right?
Wait, is BLM a 501(c)?
They owe Michael Browns family for the use of his name and likeness to raise millions of dollars in profit. That's the rules, I don't make them.
If I started printing T-shirts with Tom Cruises name to promote my cause I would owe him quite a bit of money, period.
Sad state of affairs when humanity is called heroic.
Sadly the nation as a whole is not mature enough to start having the right discussions.
Everyone wants to clap back with sound bites.
The art of debate has been lost in favor of 140 word tweets.
Authors used to write hundreds of pages, hundreds of thousands of words to convey and explain incredibly complex subjects and ideologies.
Today, people who think they are intellectually superior think writing a paragraph is profound and the last word on any subject.
The internet, once thought to be a way to educate the world, has turned everyone into bumbling idiots who can barely string 10 words together to form a sentence.
Yea the unity against the Deep State has never been so strong.
Even normal democrats are tired of the shit already.
They can ban enough people fast enough for speaking against the narrative.
Biden is Trumps campaigns biggest donor.
Lol
The violence that happened in India was not the thing that made the people around the world react with horror. People generally just shook their head.
What really got people in an uproar was the treatment of the peaceful guys.
I understand the complexity though.
I hope you realized that my extremist comment was sarcastic snark, not an actual question.
Investigation?
27 people just ride around in SUVs willingly all the time. People hate being comfortable when they car pool they just love to be piled on top of each other to save a few bucks gas.
Investigation lol news speak for cover up.
Headline should read, government covering up human smuggling operation.
Guaranteed the results of said investigation will be they were 27 gardeners heading to a job when tragedy struck.
Thinking the militia is going to take the fight to the government and be the first to start a hot war is some liberal fantasy and shows a big misunderstanding of militia preparation.
The militia is defensive, in the event the government decides to actually start mass violence against citizens.
To suggest nothing is happening to stop the fraud means you are just ignoring the dozens of states that have already started debating and writing laws.
The push for a hot war by people is idiotic.
The show was canceled in 2 seasons. In what universe does that sentence find itself following the words hit TV show?
You know what was a hit TV show that was canceled, Friends, Seinfeld, Married with Children, MASH.
OMG someone disagrees with me, that guy is a jerkoff.
Way to build a strawman, I never said Hanks doesn't get paid, I said his show was not a hit show, and failed.
And I presented the evidence. You disagreed, I presented more evidence, even from your own sources and that makes me a jerkoff.
I'm cool with that.
I enjoyed the conversation Mr. Hanks.
MeTV??!!! WTF is MeTV?
Like you literally had to search for 10 minutes to find some obscure online streaming service that may be airing it. I'm sure it is on Bit Torrent as well as Pirate Bay, that is not evidence that it was a hit, or that anyone watches it.
I hope you do watch it, the ratings guy will be running into his managers office screaming, I KNEW paying 46 bucks for every episode of Bosom Buddies would pay off, we had a viewer!!!
MeTV lol might as well said you found it on yesmovies LOL
Sources? Your own Wikipedia article that YOU originally quoted from. Simply scroll down to the syndication part. Did you read the whole article? Clearly you did not, I simply quoted it for the syndication airings.
Ok Tom Hanks. You have really tried hard to make people believe you had a hit TV show in 1980. Meanwhile, nobody is trying to bank on your huge name by buying the rights to your failed sitcom and airing it.
I'm sure the cost of buying the syndication rights to Bosom Buddies is like 2 bucks an episode. It's mind boggling that some streaming service has not reached into their back pocket to re-air such a cultural hit as Bosom Buddies and raked in that sweet sweet ratings money.
Yes, you watched it during the summer of 1984, and then starting in 1995. As quoted in the article about syndication.
If you have evidence that says that it aired any other time besides that, perhaps you should edit the Wikipedia article you keep quoting, be sure to cite your source.
Remember watching it before Mork and Mindy is not a credible source.
That's not how it happened at all, Hanks was supposed to be the character played by John Candy in Splash. Ron Howard wanted him after he had a minor role in one episode of Happy Days.
Tom Hanks also made less then the ACTUAL big star John Candy in Splash.
Tom Hanks was such a questionable selection for Splash that he only made 70,000 for the movie. Mean while John Candy, playing just a side role made 350k, from his own mouth.
John Candy "My salary for 'Splash' was $350,000. "
Tom Hanks "His role in Splash in 1984 only paid him $70,000"
google those quotes if you question the source.
In syndication for many years?
From your own wikipedia source "Syndication Bosom Buddies reruns aired briefly on NBC in the summer of 1984 after Tom Hanks had become a major film star that summer with Splash and Bachelor Party"
One summer. Then it did not return for another 11 years, starting in 1995 - 2001, on Nickelodeons TV land, a channel that only had like 4 viewers and is bested in ratings by the home shopping network.
I don't have to make things up, you seem hell bent on making Bosom Buddies some kind of cultural phenomenon that it never was. It was a blip in time.
Care to share the source of that article?
I would be willing to bet it was written recently, and the author is an SJW praising the fact that the show was ahead of its times.
I am not revising history, I lived it. One of the more telling signs that the history of the show has been rewritten by articles like the one you just quoted is, you won't find the actual ratings of the show anywhere. Wikipedia loves to show ratings in articles about TV shows, strangely the ratings section of Bosom Buddies seems to be missing.
Well, surprise, the quote you shared is on Wikipedia, as I was searching for evidence of other 'highly rated shows' effected by the alleged strike, I could only seem to find one that is attributed to failure due to the strike. Bosom Buddies. Weird.
Tom Sellick an unknown actor who only appeared in single episodes of TV shows until his casting as Magnum PI also premiered in 1980 and went on to run for 8 years. Strange how his TV show survived and yet Tom Hanks, a 'bigger star' had his show cancelled.
I lived through the 80s, I don't rely on the internet for my information I was there. Nobody watched Bosom Buddies.
By that logic, neither did MTG.
Your brain don't work too gud does it?
