As many of you may already know, MBS announced its 2011-12 fall schedule this morning and, I must say, it was the singular most embarrassing morning of my entire life.
It was a stunningly pathetic display of star power and crappy content that no person (let alone the Chairman & CEO) should have had to witness.
While our competitors are at top notch venues like Madison Square Garden and Carnegie Hall with extremely elaborate presentations and big stars high-fiving each other, MBS announced its schedule via a press release from the Beverly Garland Holiday Inn in North Hollywood, CA.
In 2012, this will not be acceptable!
I am, therefore, announcing (during this week of 2011 upfront announcements) that the MBS’ 2012 Upfronts will be held at Yankee Stadium in New York. If this means we have to spend all of our 2011 profits to pay for this event… so be it!
I will NOT be embarrassed like this again!

Note To Shareholders: Because of this extreme event, Manka Bros. (NYSE: MBX) may have to cut its dividend for 2011.
At least you have your priorities straight.
I am sorry that your presentation was mishandled so poorly Mr. Manka. Up fronts for the television business are the single most important time for ad sales and deepening relationships worldwide and in futue business. I am a film and television director with 35 years of experience and a keen eye for talent and projects and would love to meet with you to discuss a working relationship that I believe would be of benifit to both of us and your company. I look forward to meeting you in the near future. I remain Bill Corcoran.

Tha’ts a much better use of capital than putting it into one of your horrible movies.
