I remember a bunch of dummies from the comcigate portion of comic book fandom who legitimately believed that AT&T would sell DC.
One dude on managed to get a Forbes article by claiming that because DC didn't have a SDCC booth in the middle of the floor, it was in the back croner, and because they didn't show off movies at that comic con, that was proof that AT&T was planning to sell DC to reduce their debt, even though the booth was actually as big as it was the previous year and AT&T would end up losing money by sell DC almost instantly.
