A world in which every TV channel was owned by the same company. Every newspaper was owned by the same company. Every website was owned by the same company. That would make for on boring ass world, wouldn't it? The shit that you get to view and read would come from the same fuckin source so it would become completely predictable. All the video footage would look the same, all the photos would look the same, all the articles would look the same and so on. It's the book, "1984," coming ever so closer to reality, where a single source with a single mandate would dictate what you get to see, hear, learn and so on.
Well, shit... this kind of "control" is becoming ever so closer to happening in our wonderful little community. Primedia, the giant behemoth, just announced that they are gobbling up Modified magazine. They already own:
- Car Audio and Electronics
- European Car
- Eurotuner
- Honda Tuning
- Import Tuner
- Project Car
- Siphon
- Sport Compact Car
- Stupid Street
- Turbo & High-Tech Performance
You can now add Modified to this list. So what's left?
- D-Sport
- TPR
- C16
- Performance Auto & Sound
- Other crappy magazines that look like they were printed out of someone's garage
It's fuckin scary to think that all the stuff that people bother to read are going to come from the same fuckin corporate office. We're talkin almost 75%.
Scary.
