    someone edit their wikipedia to put SportsTwo.com as one of their subsidiaries! I would do it, but my IP address at work is one strike away from a wiki-ban... :NOTMARIS:

    We're no different.

    They have an American counterpart, and I assume a Russian counterpart..., running the exact same industries and controlling citizen movement and choice in the exact same way.

    Uhm... so what? Big companies aren't by definition evil. Some big companies are indeed quite evil, but there was no evidence presented in that flick that this particular company is evil.

    You really wouldn't mind if ONE company in the US controlled our nuclear arms, our prisons, our transportation and pretty much every other thing possible?

    I don't know if this company is a good company or not. I just don't want any one entity controlling that much of anything. The opportunity to do evil things is increased at the very least.
