Mrs. Betty Bowers lays a truth bomb on ABC

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now."

ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Apparently Mrs. Betty Bowers isn’t fond of situational ethics.

Cuts through the fog of confusion nicely, as always.

My less elegant way to say the same: Disney showed it sucks, and nothing can do the un-sucking.

I stopped buying gas from Exxon because of the Valdez disaster. And I stopped buying Nike because of their sweatshop ethos.

I don’t know if either company has done things to ameliorate their bad business behaviors. But I have options. So will it be with Disney and ABC. Frankly, if I never watch another superhero movie or another Star Wars movie, I’m not going to lose sleep over that.
