Note that the actual creators were frequently pervs that made semi-official porn anyway. Superman creator Joe Schuster, after getting fired from DC, made "parody" porn comics of not-Superman and not-Lois Lane. Also, the entire comic book industry was originally wrapped up with the pornography industry and organized crime. Captain Marvel, AKA Billy Batson, whose main series was called Whiz Comics, is named after a previous porn magazine sold by publisher Fawcett Comics, called Captain Billy's Whiz Bang.
Anyway, the original creator of Archie isn't the guy whose artstyle is now associated with the character. The guy whose art people think of when they think of Archie is Dan DeCarlo, and if he didn't intend people to want porn of Betty and Veronica, he wouldn't have drawn them so sexy. They weren't originally drawn like that.

Soda companies already buy the rights to water sources. Soda companies are the same ones that sell bottled water, not to mention all the water they use in their other products. This isn't even a sci-fi thing. It's just what already happens.

Think about that kid growing up in the 1970s. Scooby Doo was the biggest thing on tv, and it was well deserved originally. A great mix of horror and humor, with good animation for the time, and a charming cast of characters. Some kid was watching that and decided to start making his own drawings of Scooby and the gang, and one day he was gonna grow up and become a real animator and make real cartoons, just like his hero Hanna Barbera. So he practices and practices, and as the industry changes he changes with it, learning new techniques like computer generated animation. And he sees the Disney Renaissance and things like The Simpsons and Batman and Ren & Stimpy making cartoons more experimental and dark and adult, and it's in this environment that he hears they're making a big time theatrical Scooby Doo movie. So he applies for the job, and he actually gets it. He's actually going to get to animate Scooby Doo. And not just any Scooby Doo. He's gonna animate Scooby Doo for the big screen, for a new generation, bigger and better than ever before. So he shows up to the office and he asks his boss what he needs to do, and the boss says "I need you to sit at this desk for six weeks and animate Scooby Doo's asshole. You're the asshole man. Your job is to come here from nine-to-five every day and animate Scooby Doo's asshole."
And thirty years earlier, the child sheds a single tear. He doesn't know why, but he can feel his soul breaking through time.
