Disney Pulls a Reverse Santa, Takes Back Christmas Shows From Amazon Customers

Sockatume writes "Since 2011, Amazon Instant Video has sold a series of Christmas shorts from Disney called 'Prep and Landing'. Unfortunately this holiday season, Disney has had a change of heart and has decided to make the shorts exclusive to its own channels. The company went so far as to retroactively withdrawn the shows from Amazon, so that customers who have already paid for them no longer have access. Apparently this reverse-Santa ability is a feature Amazon provides all publishers, and customers have little recourse but to go cap-in-hand to a Disney outlet and pay for the shows again."

    Oh totally. That uber-nazi libertarian Barack Obama has completely dismembered our One True God.. uh.. I mean "federal government" and left us in a Somali-like Warzone where there are absolutely no regulations of any kind and zero involvement of the HOLY Government in our healthcare!

    Just imagine how many phone calls aren't being monitored because of his ruthless, radical extremist libertarianism!!

    Damn you Obama and your laissez-fair disregard for our right to be told what to do by the HOLY federal bureacrats who are divine infallible beings!
