When you own a huge, billion-dollar conglomerate, it’s expected that you can be slightly out of touch at times. After all, you can bathe in your money.
But Sumner Redstone has outdone himself this time, claiming that all print media, such as newspapers, magazines, grocery lists, anything involving paper and communicating an idea – will be dead in two years. It’s official, ladies and gentlemen. Sumner Redstone is an all-powerful wizard. He has crystal balls, voodoo dolls, and can put a hex on your career, the same way that he did it with Tom Cruise. Soon you’ll be jumping on your couches, rescinding movie deals, and marrying girls that you’ve screened through a rigorous process through your publicist. The comments came apparently because Redstone was trying to take shots at his rival, Rupert Murdoch – the only way that bitchy old man can do it.
He lives in ink, and I live in movies and television. Ink is going to go away, and movies and television will be here forever, like me.
I’d like to think that old moguls will haunt their properties for decades to come. Rupert Murdoch will be influencing people towards right-leaning politics for decades to come. And Sumner Redstone and Tom Cruise will haunt you in tandem.
