[edit] UBO

Okay, it starts as a "tv setup that lets you order movies,sporting events and concerts for free", is sold to Time Warner and for some reason now has film contracts. UBO.com is the apparently unrelated Urban Box Office, which deals in music and isn't owned by Time Warner. There were three results for a search of UBO and the creator, David Webster, but they were all irrelevant. I didn't have any luck searching to see if Time Warner bought a company named UBO. Time Warner owns HBO, but I didn't find anything about UBO being its predecessor, either. -- Kjkolb 10:14, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as almost certain hoax. None of the named properties appear on the IMDB, and the $550,000 ("in cash") is an awfully small sum for something with that much content... that works out to about $13,500 per property, which is next to nothing for an original movie, TV series, or miniseries. Even the famously low-budget movies Clerks and The Blair Witch Project cost about $27,000 and $35,000 to make, respectively. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:41, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
