Movie Industry Blames Texting for Bad Box Office

Posted by michael on from the buying-your-gross dept.

cybercuzco writes "The movie industry is blaming poor sales of such movies as Gigli, The Hulk and Charlies Angels not on the fact that they were poor quality, but because people text message other people telling them that the movie stinks. Industry executives say that this undermines a carefully crafted marketing image. Expect texting to be banned by the MPAA in the near future."

    What does it matter? Trinity dies at the end of the movie anyway.
