2. Such terrible analysis

Sony Pictures (You forgot to include which part of Sony)

Their analysis is basically "Sony has a lot of competition". So they're going to give up? They've always had a lot of competition.

A&W Restaurants (Again, "forgot" to include which part of A&W)

Their analysis is "it's a small chain". So?

Their only analysis that resembles having a point is that as a small chain they'd be less able to negotiate a deal with their suppliers....except that it's part of YUM, so it doesn't have to negotiate as a small chain.

And that's just the first two. But their crappy story does have lots and lots of ads plastered all over it, so they're making money for it.
