Excellent! HBO Max Reverts to HBO Max: A Victory for Quality, Not the Common Man!

The Return of the Prodigal Brand!

Good heavens what's this? Warner Bros. Discovery after a rather embarrassing detour is crawling back to the name 'HBO Max.' Excellent! As if anyone with a modicum of taste could stomach that pedestrian 'Max' nonsense. It's about time they realized that focusing on quality and not pandering to the lowest common denominator is the only way to run a media empire… or at least keep the riff raff from completely taking over.

Zaslav's 'Excellent' Strategy

David Zaslav the CEO spouts some nonsense about programming quality but the real message is clear: HBO is a brand that represents the pinnacle of entertainment… at least for those of us with refined palates. It's like saying releasing The Simpsons every single year is a better strategy instead of the show's peak in the 90's. The unwashed masses can stick to their reality television and cat videos; we'll be over here enjoying sophisticated storytelling.

Profits Over Plebians!

Apparently they've managed to turn a profit by focusing on dare I say it *good* content. Imagine that! It just goes to show that sometimes just sometimes the world aligns with my vision of absolute control and discerning taste. Though losing the NBA rights? That's a blow. Those sweaty oafs slamming balls around are good for *something* I suppose.

Netflix: A Warning Not an Example!

Netflix with its 300 million subscribers is cited as a competitor. Hogwash! They may have the numbers but we have the *prestige*. It's like comparing a perfectly aged bottle of Chateau Lafite Rothschild to a can of Duff Beer. One is for connoisseurs the other is… well for Homer Simpson.

Quality Over Quantity (Finally!)

The emphasis is now on quality over quantity. Finally someone gets it. As Perrette so eloquently puts it "It's really not subjective not even controversial — our programming just hits different." Indeed! It hits different because it's *better*. It caters to the *elite*. It's… *excellent*.

Competition? Mere Annoyances!

Disney and ESPN are making similar noises about quality. Let them try. They'll never achieve the same level of sophisticated depravity and nuanced villainy that we here at HBO Max... er HBO Max are known for. And as for these new streaming services Fox One and Versant? Poppycock! They'll be gone before you can say 'Release the hounds!'
