Ninety nine percent of the population of earth falls in line and does what they're told for a pittance.

I'm a big fan of Chappelle's work, I was before the show, but DC was a bitch about this. Take the money and STFU, do something good with it. Transfers of wealth on that scale are rare, creative latitude is simply not worth the forfeiture of that wealth. At some point, you have to recognize your duty to those in your orbit when you can command and broker the kind of deals they were getting.
