The world won't care about a shitty rental car company...they care about controversy. Controversy sells...period. Do you remember Amy Fisher? She was the one that shot Mary Jo Buttafuco (sp?). Do you know how many books, movies, off Broadway plays and articles were created because of that controversy? I understand they are even talking about making an Enron movie! Have you ever seen a Michael Moore movie? Roger & Me was a movie that attacked one of the largest organizations in America. ERAC is the largest car rental company in the world and deals with companies like GE. You're telling me you don't see a similarity? Listen, I like the idea of a movie. That's my opinion. You're not going to change that. I could be wrong about an ERAC movie. But then again, so could you. The 20/20 idea is really good. If it works, then maybe a movie can be made. Until then, a guy can dream can't he? |
The controversy point is valid. But, is there enough controversy to sell the movie? Bad customer service goes on everywhere. It’s not like the movie would be shedding light on something that is unknown. You'd have to really drum up a lot of shit to make people want to see it.
And I’m not trying to say you wouldn’t like it, just that there probably isn’t enough people in the world that would pay to see it and who would wanna sit through it. The only people that would like it is ex and current ERAC employees. I wouldn’t pay to see it, not because it’s hurtful to ERAC, but because I think it would be boring.
You can’t compare Enron and 9/11 to Enterprise. That’s about as far off as my comment about mouthwash lids. I've read Peter Eichenwald's book about Enron. Enterprise has a long way to go before they can ever hope to achieve that level a scum. And 9/11 will be the most controversial war in history.
As for this site's effectiveness, my proof is that it hasn't achieved its goal, which is to invoke changes to Enterprise’s internal structure. It hasn't. And it won’t. When PETA wanted to let everyone know how KFC treated their chickens, they has movie stars speaking out, billboards, commercials . . . the whole nine yards. I think you can make changes. But, when you’re going up against mega companies, you need better ammo than a website.
I'm not saying Failing Enterprise isn't monitored. But being watched isn't that big a deal. Of course they're gonna keep an eye on it. They’d be dumb not to. It's called having a contingency plan. Example: If the Easter Islands gave the USA shit on Friday, we have a plan in place to blow their asses off the map by Monday. Yet the chances of that happening are so remote one could say it’s impossible.
