"Sumner M. Redstone is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Viacom. Under his leadership, Viacom has become one of the world's largest entertainment and media companies, and a leader in the production, promotion and distribution of entertainment, news, sports, music and comedy. Viacom's properties include CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon, VH1, BET, Paramount Pictures, Viacom Outdoor, Infinity Broadcasting, UPN, Spike TV, TV Land, CMT: Country Music Television, Comedy Central, Showtime, Blockbuster and Simon & Schuster. National Amusements, Inc., a closely held corporation which operates approximately 1,400 motion picture screens in the United States, the United Kingdom and South America, is the parent company of Viacom.

http://www.viacom.com/sumner.tin Wonder what Redstone's involvement was? And if the Toons had a hand in this.
We must get Viacom to stop international distribution.
It's going to air UNCUT? This is actually worse, in my opinion.
Sumner Redstone, CEO of the massive Viacom conglomerate (including CBS, MTV, Blockbusters, etc.)) was born Murray Rothstein in a Boston tenement. His critics contend that during his climb to the top of the heap, he has rabidly focused on one thing, the power that comes with acquisitions of communication companies, then more acquisitions, then more acquisitions.
It is said he rarely speaks of family or friends, is not interested in the money now, but is fixated on building an empire even more vast than the one he controls now.
