So it's safe to say that the industry most affected by the virus is the entertainment industry. Studios are shutting down, movie theaters will be empty, Broadway is shutting down, music and film festivals are canceled and Disneyland and World are closing until further notice. Day and late night talk shows are on hiatus also, all sporting events are on hiatus. Meanwhile I have to be at work at 6 a.m. Monday, I stopped off at Walmart and was able to buy butt wipe...BUT ALL THE SPAM WAS SOLD OUT!! Now I'm pissed, I love SPAM.

Good.

Not about the SPAM.

About the rich people getting a temporary layoff.

Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Youtube, AppleTV (sucks)... they better have a buttload of extra bandwidth available because they are going to get crushed in the weeks/months ahead.

Sh*t, Internet providers in general better unpack some extra bandwidth pronto with all of the schools going to online classes and businesses going to home work. Time to buy stock in Time Warner.

I said that to hubbs a month ago. If there could be one good thing to come out of this, maybe upgrading our ISP's could be it.

I ain't holding my breath, though.

Poor Bill Maher was unable to do his lame show Friday night, his lame show is on hiatus, the poor douche was not able to tell unfunny jokes Friday night. The late night talk show dorks and their untalented writers are stuck at home, meanwhile the rest of us have to go to work Monday.

Maybe it can be a good thing, less division politik

The industry will come back stronger, hopefully reborn, smaller indie American studios and away from the crap that surrounds hollyweird.
