An uncouth retelling: https://old.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/fsbto9/the_... (nsfw language)

Interestingly, the Act was amended in 2010 to also ban box office futures, something Hollywood lobbyists had slipped into the bill. I’m sure there’s a joke to be made about cutting onions and Hollywood tearjerkers…

truly a great American tale
