Millions of Twinkies eaters sorely disappointed; their favorite snack will be no more.
Shall we start a petition?
To all those that are crying for 200 people out of work on IPK sets, I want to say...
We live in a capitalistic society! Socialism is all good when it does not affect your personal pocket book. The reality is that corporations routinely make decisions in their best interest. SP decided it was not a show worth all of their time and energy, so they axed it.
To justify the jobs of 200 people, should we all continue to watch anything shown in the name of IPK?
It is true that many of us have already stopped watching the show because of the horrible tracks. Was that a sin? I am not willing to expend my time watching something that is illogical and senseless, most days!
The people crying over 200 people's jobs, are you willing to watch any crap just so those 200 people stay employed?
Please stop with the blame game and thank SP for axing the show! You can go back to being sane people and the 200 people on IPK sets will find jobs elsewhere, just as the 15000 others will do some place else in the world.
Societies and job markets are in a constant state of flux. These same 200 people may actually innovate/retrain to find better jobs in the future. Else, they may have been stuck in a blue collar, chai wala, set boy "careers"!
Do you know that thousands of jobs were lost due to the onset of the digital age? People had to reinvent, retrain and adapt to new industries. And, humans are a lot more resilient than we think!
The reality is that none of us had a hand in what happened with the show. The only people that did were the channel, PH and the actors; in that order!
