“There's nobody there. There's nobody in charge. All a large corporation is is a set of commands . It's like a very simple computer program and if you look at what that program is, you can hack it to do whatever you damn well please because there's nobody in charge. Nobody understands. I mean that's the beauty of it. Everyone's upset about these giant media conglomerates, you know, with Viacom buying MTV and buying Paramount or AOL buying Time Warner. The bigger these machines get, the smaller their little brains are in comparison with the whole thing. It's a giant media company that allows something like Beavis and Butthead or gangster rap to happen. And so I really take delight in how stupid corporations are.”
