Breaking news!
An international group of 11-year old mobile phone owners* put together an enormous deal today. According to a major cinema trade magazine, the group, known as "Show Us The Movie," has bartered the rights to receiving first-run movies on their mobile phones.
How is this possible, you ask?
The power of one!
The group, SUTheM, threatened to start a social network campaign to boycott both first-run films at theatres and second-run films at online/kiosk movie rental locations, putting the fear of stockbrokers and automated stock trading systems into the hearts of movie moguls around the world.
Our anonymous source tells us that young people are using demographic data to determine where they have the most leverage due to their disposable income purchasing power. Then, in order to get what they want (because they know their parents are too dumb to know how to use modern technology properly), they put this power to use immediately.
We're seeing a total shakeup of the whole cinema industry. Already, popcorn seed company stock prices have plummeted.
If 11-year olds can bring down motion picture empires, what's next?
If adult musicians can jam together online, will eight-year olds become the next great film directors, coordinating online filmmaking by capturing their globally-distributed actors' parts through the magic of green screen video techniques, no longer requiring expensive "on location" shoots?
Is the world as we know it coming to an end?
Tune in for new breaking news as it happens!
* does anyone have an 11-year old mobile phone that still works?
