In another shocking statement by NBC's general counsel, Rick Cotton has once again pushed the limits of what can be seen as sane behavior. He has already said that law enforcement needs to spend more money on fighting piracy then on catching burglars, and bank robbers but now he has decided to show his support for the American farmer.

This man is a genius...I cant believe these pirates who take away from the corn growers. Piracy is the cause of almost all the problems in the world. I feel really sorry for all these movie associations who barely make any profits. Please people, these people deserve our hard earned money. Rick Cotton and the people at the MPAA can barely afford to live. Help the poor...stop piracy

and the burglary/robbery of microwavable popcorn has hit an all time high because the pirates watch their movies at home rather than at the theaters.

well we all know that its OBVIOUSLY hurting the popcorn growers because popcorn cost MORE at the theater... thus the theater industry who are buying popcorn by the tons (literally!) must be paying more money for the bulk buying than the grocery store the pirate buys his little one serving bag from....**pop** thats the sound of whoevers head who believes his statement being pulled out of their a$$.
The corn growers are seeing one of the highest price yields currently and are only expected to see it grow higher due to the ethanol industry. In fact by this guys statement MORE piracy is needed to reduce the price of corn to a LOWER level so more POOR UNDERFED children can afford to have a decent meal (or at least a side item lol)...also a lower price on corn thus means a lower price on ethanol which thus means a lower price on GASOLINE...
Ive never been one for torrents and such but if becoming a movie pirate can feed more children AND reduce the cost of gas I best be finding me a torrent client right away!
--sidenote to MPAA: I know you want to put propaganda out there but come on dont put stuff out there that logical and intelligent people can turn against you to show why piracy is NEEDED... and try not to lie too much, hell is WAY HOTTER than Southwest LA in the summer!

No, their going to be blaming Christians for not getting out there and supporting a family oriented christian film which is what the christian community says they want and insist that they will endorse and support. So not only will they use this to justify their false claims against piracy but they will also use it to justify why they focus mainly on films that use sex, sleeze, sin and f-bombs whenever they cannot think of intelligent dialogue for their characters to speak.
I'm telling you in the not so distant future Pirates and Christians will be the people that are blamed for holding back and stopping all the 'good things' that a free society can bring people world wide. But hey it's not just me saying this, it's also the God not portrayed by hollywood films and tv. Sorry but I also have to add: these are the same people who thought they were providing christian programming and were shocked at the outcry of having a happy go lucky Jesus character condoning drugs, marital infidelity, and spouting such words of wisdom as 'come one man, life's like life man, don't take it so serious!' on that rapidly cancelled 'The Book of Daniel'
Now on the other hand I will probably see Evan (even if only on DVD) because hey, life is like life man, and a show that hopefully doesn't have to use tits, a$$, swearing and crude foul humor to justify getting my hard earned cash and consuming 118 minutes of my life might not be as bad as some of the other choices out there....

What DuckNrun said is totally true. We don't need any more corn consumption as the ethanol boom has created such a demand that farmers are having to change what they feed their livestock, the price of wheat will remain high because it will be used for feed more often, and in Mexico they are already seeing their main food staple rapidly grow in price. Also the farmers get pennies from from popcorn sold in movies. It's the theaters that get the profit from the overpriced popcorn.

This also applies to video games!
We download emulators and play all the classics at home, this is why the arcade business does not exist anymore! Damn you, you video game pirates!! It is your fault that slimey hole in the wall across the street called an arcade had to shut down!
On a side not, Cotton is by far one of the biggest moron's on the face of the planet, may god bless his sad, sad soul!
