The difference between us and the cows we use to produce milk is we don't give cows a choice. WB doesn't strap us in and force us to buy. Unlike us and cows, they can't do that to us. We have a choice. If you buy it, it's your choice. If you don't buy it, and enough other people don't buy it, there's a natural selection of what is acceptable and what isn't. People who actually buy the junk are like people who click on email ads and then actually spend money to support spam. They deserve what they get - but they still had a choice.
