Paramount has come out swinging against a Friday screed from Mark Ruffalo, in which the award-winning actor accused moguls David and Larry Ellison of “powering some of the most destructive and inhuman forces in the world.”
A spokesperson for the David Ellison-run enterprise said the company is “troubled when antisemitic tropes are invoked in purported service of a business dispute. Words like ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid,’ applied to a corporate transaction, aren’t just wrong — they’re a bridge too far, and they cheapen the very real suffering those words are meant to describe. This doesn’t deserve a response in kind — and to be clear, we don’t tolerate prejudice of any kind, against anyone.”

Name this fucking person, Variety? There needs to be more sunlight on the fascist PR people who write these statements. The “hands” and " mouths" need to wear the shame of their role in this as much as the prominent faces of the evil do.
Seriously, go try to find the name. It’s hidden everywhere.
Lacking any direct attribution, Paramount’s chief communications officer, listed as the company’s spokesperson, is Melissa Zukerman - Your grandkids will one day work to hide the fact that they were related to you, Melissa.
Larry Ellison is a fanatical Zionist and one of the biggest donors to the IDF. He now owns Paramount, CBS and US Tiktok.
Paramount is owned by his son David.
Apples don’t fall far from the tree and all that though.
Gal Gadot is literally an IOF member and a propaganda piece, she is literally captain Israel
What’s IOF?
Israeli Occupation Forces
Damn I knew about IDF… but they really have a literal occupation force named as such
It’s a nickname for the IDF that people came up with because they don’t do much defending compared to the huge indiscriminate bombing campaigns and the organized settler colonialist raids of Palestinian (et al.) land.
ok… cheers
I just realized Gal Gadot plays Wonder Woman, a DC comics character… not a Marvel character…
Still Genocide Barbie 🤷🏻
Words like ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid,’ applied to a corporate transaction, aren’t just wrong — they’re a bridge too far…
Is this written by an LLM? Because whenever I hear “it’s not just this, it’s that” now, I think LLM.
Nothing says, “I don’t give a shit about you,” like asking an LLM to respond for you. It’s all just so over the giving top, it beggars belief.
I was talking to this woman I was interested in. I related to her a mini existential crisis I was having because of climate change. She used AI to summarize why I shouldn’t be so worried, and sent it to me. I just stared blankly at the obviously AI driven text for minutes before asking, “Did you… Did you come up with all that off the top of your head?”
mind boggling.
This is 100% percent written by an LLM.
I just don’t believe any human would put out a statement with an em dash in 2026. It’s the thing
i started using them because of ai. lol
Fighting fire with fire — i like it!
Where do you think it learned it from lol
you’re absolutely right.
lol
I use 'em.
My hyperbolic analogy is a swastika. Sure, the swastika had been in use for 10,000 years before Germany existed…but a company probably isn’t putting one on their letter head in 2026.
It’s as iconic for AI slop as It’s Not X, It’s Y
to an untrained eye who hasn’t read anything but internet posts, sure, but people use them in other places and that still carries on into internet prose sometimes.
Wow, what a douche way to insult someone. You think you have to be terminally online to be aware of the two biggest signs that text is from an LLM?
It’s not the 2010s anymore, we’ve had LLMs posting slop for years now. Use your favorite search engine and tell me what the top result says. Probably the same as the Wikipedia page. Search your work email, there’s a good chance you got the same tips from HR.
Knowing what it looks like isn’t as niche as you’re implying. And in the context of a public statement from a media company, an em dash SHOULD raise an eyebrow in 2026. Unless you think a human wrote this.
You will have to pry the em—dash from my cold, dead fingers. AI may take my job, but I will damned if it takes the em—dash from me.
Complete with emdash
we don’t tolerate prejudice of any kind, against anyone, but murdering large groups of innocent people is ok by us.
FTFY
Bro, what part of “corporate transaction” did you not understand! It’s not about genocide. It’s about stock prices.
It’s ANTI SEMETIC to
LIKE Hitler!KILL people in Concentration Camps!HEIL Hitler!NOT like Corporate Mergers!Fuck Paramount. Nobody should ever give them money again.
When you use “a bridge too far,” you are tying people to railroad tracks. Or kicking indigenous people off their land in modern times. 6 in one half a dozen in the other.
Too big to fail is also too big to care.
You can tell when they get too big because they stop caring.
I get three or four emails a week from Comcast asking me to take advantage of the free Paramount+ subscription that apparently comes with my internet. They’re trying to force it so much.
Cue Paramount gif from The Rehearsal
@geneva_convenience Shut the frack up Paramaount!
