    “The stunt release delivered against our goals of driving awareness, generating excitement and creating a powerful sense of FOMO around Ali G’s highly anticipated return ahead of the film’s global debut on Prime Video,” Amazon MGM says in a statement exclusive to THR.

    Oh so these piles of fucking shit expected the generation of FOMO? What dystopian, disconnected fucking pile of shit courtroom would EVER agree you could put, “… generation of FOMO…” under contract??

    THIS is the kind of greedy pile of shitstain we’re up against. These people literally do not understand humanity. At all. Fucking ghouls. They want you to be legally obligated to give them money. Absolute greed that needs to be wiped from this planet.

      They understand humanity very well or they wouldn’t be where they are. Humanity is just easy to manipulate.

        The number of box office failures (real failures, not just Hollywood accounting) seems to indicate they don’t really. The number of failures from Prime, Netflix, etc. resulting in shows cancelled immediately after release seems to indicate they don’t really.

      Theatrical releases are quite literally all about FOMO in the first place, most studied just don’t say it out loud.

        Eh, basically every movie worthy of theatrical release has eventually come out on other services for the past … several decades. To pretend this kind of FOMO is remotely valid is to be an ignorant fuckhead oblivious to every other avenue of acquisition.

        In either case, I doubt the studio has the same goals of distribution in mind as the artist, especially considering which artist we’re talking about here…

    Who even finds this funny these days? If the intent is to appease righties that have no media literacy and like the same 3 recycled jokes, that tracks. That audience would make sense when it comes to feeding idiots Zionist and racist propaganda.
