Modern mainstream media is the only industry I can think of that consistently defends a delusional and imaginary right to insult its customers. And in case they didn’t know who Mike Pence was last night, allow me to remind them: Mike Pence was a customer, giving you hard-earned money for nothing.
Obviously, you were too good for his money, and felt powerful enough to arrogantly reject his attendance. But guess what: there’s millions of Mike Pences in this country. And what you said to him, you said to all of us. And just as I assume he will not return to support the trash you call “art,” neither will we. Until ultimately, one of us will pass these decrepit theaters on our way to a real job, and will wonder: where have all the customers gone?
