The original idea had been to force customers who have benefited from the cereal giant's online generosity to give up their legal right to sue GM for any reason, funneling those customers instead into arbitration.

Ad hoc is our movie, television, and general nerdery podcast where a bunch of geeks get together to talk everything from the best flicks of 80s to the current blockbusters in the theater. This week Georgia, Guy, Rob, Rene, and Dave, talk Marvel Cinematic Universe, from Iron Man to Avengers, and then dive into the latest film, Captain America: The Winter Solider. And, yes, sigh, agents of S.H.I.E.L.D as well.
And, yeah, stay until after the credits...
For more Winter Solider and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D talk, check out The Incomparable:
