   Whatever utter idiocy pleases your tiny single braincell.  :-\   
      
   It's amazing how many people are so incredibly stupid that they don't   
   understand what a "franchise" actually is. Slap the same title on it   
   and it must be the same thing, even when the people making it are   
   telling you it's very different. The average human being is simply   
   astoundingly stupid.  :-(
