Manny

Remember those stupid commercials at the beginning of movies (when you saw them in theatres) featuring people like a set painter (David Goldstein) and a stuntman (Manny)? You know the ones, that were preaching how piracy was bad and us downloading movies from the Internet would negatively impact movies and, in turn, their careers, despite the fact that we were watching these ads while we were at the movies. Total crap, right?

Well, I have some startling news for you. It appears Manny was right! I haven't seen him at any of the films I've been to recently, and I can only conclude that it is due directly to Internet piracy.

So, for you Manny, I'll stop downloading movies. I'm sorry. We're sorry. Rest in peace (I assume he's dead. Piracy kills, doesn't it?).
