You. (A Rant)

Ok, I’m about to do something I haven’t done since the days of the TurtleVan, when it was all me, and I didn’t have the reputation of my staff to protect. I’m going to rant. The following is not the opinion of anyone at GGM except myself. If you have a problem with it, take it up with me personally, or better yet, just stop reading this blog all together, because if you are the people I’m talking about, I don’t want you here anyway.

Certain members of this fanbase are a cancer. A disease. You. The person who complains that they want something, and then when they get it, they complain. You. The person who, when someone you claim to respect has made possibly the biggest decision of his life, choose to shit all over him instead of stand by him like you SHOULD.

You bastards are so wrapped up in trying to shove what YOU would do down our throats, that you don’t stop for ONE SECOND to think what is good for the property, or good for Peter as a human being.

Boo Hoo. This isn’t what you would have done. Really? Well when you have nurtured an intellecual property for 25 years, slaved over it, lived it, bled it, breathed it, used it to provide for your family, KNOWN NOTHING but this ONE THING for TWENTY FIVE YEARS…THEN you can come tell me what it is that YOU would do; and THEN and only THEN, will I listen to you, because you’ll know what the hell you’re talking about. Until then, you Don’t!

You know who you are? You’re the beer swilling asshole who sits on his fat ass and screams at his football team through a television to make the plays like you want to make them; when you have never thrown a football in your goddamn life. That is you. And I hate you. With every fiber of my being.

Viacom Buyout Update

From Steve Murphy:

I’ll help with “the transition” to Nick, wrap up any loose ends here at Mirage, move all of our archived product off-site, empty the front offices, then join the great unwashed. Everyone will be leaving here at some point during the next 2-5 months, by my reckoning, although the artists can maintain their personal office space in the “studio” side of the building (since Pete owns the building).

It’s surreal, dude… very, very surreal.
