GameStop Fires CEO Matt Furlong After He Fails To Turn Company Into Meme Factory
In a stunning move, GameStop has fired CEO Matt Furlong after he failed to turn the company into a meme factory.
Furlong was hired in 2021 with the goal of transforming GameStop into a digital-first retailer. However, he was unable to meet the expectations of the company’s new chairman, Ryan Cohen, who is a big fan of memes.
“We were hoping to turn GameStop into a meme factory,” Cohen said. “But Matt just wasn’t up to the task. He kept trying to talk about things like ‘strategy’ and ‘execution.’ We don’t want to hear about that stuff. We just want memes.”
Furlong has been replaced by Ryan Cohen himself. Cohen is confident that he can turn GameStop into the meme factory of his dreams.
“I’m going to make GameStop the biggest meme factory in the world,” Cohen said. “We’re going to have so many memes that we’ll be able to sell them by the truckload.”
Cohen’s plan to turn GameStop into a meme factory has been met with mixed reactions. Some people have praised Cohen for his vision, while others have criticized him for being a meme-obsessed lunatic.
“This is a brilliant move,” said one person. “Ryan Cohen is going to make GameStop the most successful meme factory in the world.”
“This is a terrible idea,” said another person. “Ryan Cohen is a meme-obsessed lunatic. He’s going to ruin GameStop.”
Only time will tell if Cohen can turn GameStop into the meme factory of his dreams. However, one thing is for sure: it will be a wild ride.
