LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

Maybe throw in some used Melania bath water as additional disincentive!

As if I needed another reason to avoid Amazon Prime.

@DemocracyMattersALot they'll be lucky if Amazon Prime subscriptions don't start dropping because of their stupidity and tone deafness

@DemocracyMattersALot Perhaps not including her old modeling agency photos was a mistake.

[humanhorseshoes@mastodon.world]

@timo21 @DemocracyMattersALot Nobody wants to pirate it either

[darwinwoodka@mastodon.social]

@timo21 @DemocracyMattersALot

A film of those would have sold far better I'm sure

@humanhorseshoes @DemocracyMattersALot I bet some malcontent on X wants to use AI to modify it, regarding haberdashery issues. ,

@DemocracyMattersALot The point wasn't to make money off the documentary. Melania was paid millions for her participation, so the point was to de facto bribe Trump, presumably to leave Blue Origin alone.

@darwinwoodka @DemocracyMattersALot They could have done a 'Forest Gump' type biopic.

[timo21@mastodon.sdf.org]

@SteveFoerster @DemocracyMattersALot yeah, that's why these stories of Amazon fretting about viewers seems so weird. I'm still shocked it didn't go straight to streaming after the token one day theater appearance, like Netflix does.

[stevefoerster@social.vivaldi.net]

@timo21 @DemocracyMattersALot That much I'm willing to believe was a tactical error. But either way, it's mission accomplished.

[darwinwoodka@mastodon.social]

@timo21 @DemocracyMattersALot

Weirdly I think Melania is probably a really interesting person and if she were allowed to be herself could be very nice. I kind of feel for her being trapped in the world she's in, but hey, she chose it. All these people just choose to either be terrible people or else tolerate being around them.

[stevengale84@mstdn.social]

@DemocracyMattersALot Amazon doesn’t care how much money it makes in theaters or streaming. It was just a bribe.

[timo21@mastodon.sdf.org]

@SteveFoerster @DemocracyMattersALot Yep

@darwinwoodka @timo21 @DemocracyMattersALot

Back in 2011, she was promoting the “birther” conspiracy (that Obama was not born in the US). She just might be a terrible person herself.

[mast0d0nphan@beige.party]

@DemocracyMattersALot Amazon selling Melania bathwater is the equivalent of mass waterboarding.
