You may choose to use the Internet.

So if I understand correctly Hasbro is, single-handedly, responsible for the whole internet, right?
Man, they really fucked this one up...
- First Beyblade Burst and now the Internet as a whole? What next Hasbro, when will the madness stop?
  
  What's wrong with Beyblade Burst ? Shouldn't you be complaining about Beyblade-X ?
- I mean it started off pretty damn cool. Maybe we just can't have nice things.
  
  I dunno. There was a LOT of fucked up shit on the early internet.
- Ya. I think I tuned out about the time they started allowing emojis in domain names.
  
  Wait, they allow emojis in domain names?

You mean the company that sic'd the Pinkertons on a fan/reviewer because they sent him the wrong thing in the mail? That Hasbro?
- Hahaha i forgot about that for a second. Thanks.
- Can you tell me enough so that I can search for what you are talking about?
  
  Yea, so Hasbro owns Wizards of the Coast, which owns Magic The Gathering. One day, a guy that opens packs on camera got accidentally sent a pack from a set that hadn't been released yet.
  I forget the exact details, but WotC ended up sending some thugs to this guys house to retrieve the merchandise via intimidation, and the company those thugs worked for was related to the Pinkertons from your high school civics textbook. (Like, they had acquired them in a merger or something.)

disband the Internet
Sorry boss, but the Internet dispersed in the early morning hours.

Prescient
- Apollo's Dodgeball.

Is this a user agreement?
Can we still break it so that they can disband the internet? IS THERE STILL TIME??

Quick, call Jen!

Hasbro: "I swear it wasn't us. It was Milton fuckin' Bradley!"

Thou mayest
