The Academy is America's royal family and the Academy awards our most prestigious ritual. The pomp and circumstance far exceeds what is warranted for an awards show for a given artform.

But, in order to end the Academy will require ending the film industry. They do engage in money laundering, child labor, child abuse, etc. Might as well end the television industry and news media while we're at it.

Mark my words, these acts will be deemed reasonable and necessary.

Fix the Media.

According the guidelines they should have to clean up their content too then because they are destroying our children's minds with it.


“There is no place in the Academy for people who abuse their status, power or influence in a manner that violates recognized standards of decency,” reads part of the seven-sentence statement. “If any member is found by the Board of Governors to have violated these standards or to have compromised the integrity of the Academy by their actions, the Board of Governors may take any disciplinary action permitted by the Academy’s Bylaws, including suspension or expulsion.”

I always thought raping a minor (like Polanski) was a violation of 'recognized standards of decency'.

And he got convicted for it.

Why throw out Weinstein, but keep Polanski?
