Yep and it's the Babestation accounting reports I had in mind. Cellcast are pretty much the biggest operation involved in the babe channels and they struggle to make it profitable.
Bluebird can easily afford to absorb losses on the babe channel operation and recoup that by making more from the extras. Having said that, they're already looking into the idea of making one or more of their channels encrypted with a subscription fee involved so they'll be doing all they can to make it profitable.
Doesn't alter the fact that they're the biggest operators to have ever dipped their toe in the babe channel waters and that involvement is going to change the whole landscape I fear.
And like you, I find their arrogance pretty nauseating as well.
How?
What extras?
Lets be real about it, DVD sales are and have been for years now in decline. The pay per night market is also in decline, porn is freely available all across the internet and Bluebird have just spent the last few years sinking fortunes in to recording content that from what I have seen isn't even that good!
interactivity is about the only area of potential growth and if they intend on as you suggest absorbing losses here then where will the money come from?
it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out if you continuously spend more than you make eventually you will run out of cash!
I think what we are really seeing here is nothing more than the sexual fantasies of what appears to be a slightly deranged character in Mr Bluebird. Anyone seen the Batfucks trailer? Maybe Mr Bluebird cast himself better than we thought there? Maybe he really believes he is some sort of comic book character who is smarter than the whole world and will prove so by achieving world domination! Well I've seen a lot of movies and doesn't the deranged psycho always ends up losing?
Also who on earth would want to wank over this shit? After all isn't that what this is all about?
All I see personally is a rather large bubble waiting to burst, I for one am looking forward to watching it pop!
I think the way Bluebird have handled themselves throughout this stinks of arrogance and a hugely over inflated EGO.
Who I really feel sorry for girls like Ashley who inevitably will get hurt when all of this goes tits up (excuse the pun)
In the meantime I'll stick to cruising the channels looking for a babe that puts a smile on my face.
