Paramount has come out swinging against a Friday screed from Mark Ruffalo, in which the award-winning actor accused moguls David and Larry Ellison of “powering some of the most destructive and inhuman forces in the world.”

A spokesperson for the David Ellison-run enterprise said the company is “troubled when antisemitic tropes are invoked in purported service of a business dispute. Words like ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid,’ applied to a corporate transaction, aren’t just wrong — they’re a bridge too far, and they cheapen the very real suffering those words are meant to describe. This doesn’t deserve a response in kind — and to be clear, we don’t tolerate prejudice of any kind, against anyone.”

    Ahh, yes, who would dare claim that PARAMOUNT tolerates prejudice?

    It’s not like the best friend of their owners is literally one of history’s MOST prejudiced individuals or anything.

    Being lectured about prejudice by Paramount is like being lectured about cannibalism by Dahmer.
