"Obama 2016" Filmmakers Allege An Organized Campaign To Depress Their Film's Box Office
Bonus: On The View, Obama Says He's There To Be "Eye Candy" For the Ladies
It's not a crazy notion.
Two things happened this week which would undermine people's desire to see the film.
First, someone pirated it and put it up on YouTube.
Second, some misinformation was put out -- by who, I don't know -- that the film would be airing on FoxNews on Sunday (actually, last night; but that's the timeframe of the sabotage alleged, this past week's box office).
Obviously, if you think you can see a film in the comfort of your own couch, for free, you will probably not go out to see the movie.
That said...
Separately on Monday, Lionsgate Home Entertainment said it will release the movie Oct. 16 on DVD and Oct. 12 on pay-per-view.
Eye Candy: On The View -- one of those top-priority things he must do, instead of meeting with world leaders -- Obama let this brag drop:
Obama on The View - where he was the only guy - per pool report: "I told folks I'm just supposed to be eye candy here for you guys."
I could be wrong, but I'm beginning to suspect that Barack Obama likes himself a whole heck of a lot.
