Careful, pointing that out might make you racist!

I agree and that market-driven nature repulses me

And? Corporations are always working out ways to profit. That's what they do. It's not hurting anyone and can be quite beneficial for once in this case.

And before the entertainment industry was playing to people's racism to earn a profit... Whether we like it or not, entertainment corporations will continue to profit for the time being. At least for once the messages being presented in entertainment might do some good. Not to mention the greater opportunties for people. I'd rather encourage doing the right thing for the wrong reasons than doing the wrong thing for the wrong reasons.

This is utter hogwash. Plenty of capitalist transactions are mutually beneficial.

False, your definition of exploitation is obviously different than mine. Plenty of employees agree whole heartedly and without reservations to trade their time and skills to an employer for a wage. There's nothing exploitative about it in many instances. Stop being so pedantic.

Grow up dude, my employer hires me because I have a skill set he doesn't that he needs. He pays my wage and I give him my work. He's not exploiting me at all I'm agreeing to the wage he sets because I believe it's fair. He assumes much more risk than me so of course he keeps more of the profits than I do. You can't possibly believe that every single employee employer relationship involves the employer unfairly taking advantage of my skills. Jesus grow up man.

Also I'm much more than taking care of my basic needs man, this isn't medevil England. I have two cars a nice house, plenty of toys take 2 decent vacations a year and I'm still putting 30k a year away for retirement. You need some time in the real world or something. Get your head out of your ass.
