You may have heard this by now, but a few months ago a really nosy and pissy citizen named Frank Dimauro wrote a seemingly innocuous animation company, Blur, who were responsible for animating that MySimon character for the webcompany of the same name in that exceedingly annoying commercial. You know, where he crashes a party and tells people how dumb they were for buying shit at exorbitant prices, etc. Anyway, Frank took it upon himself to write Blur and tell them what he thought. The first two e-mails of the exchange to follow:

Some feedback re: my simon character created by your studios. I find him annoying, obtrusive and the last person on earth I would invite to a party. I would hate my host forever if someone like that ever showed up at a party I was attending. What were you guys thinking?

Six hours later he received this e-mail from Mr. Tim Miller, CEO of Blur.

Thanks for your email Frank, a few points I'd like to make:

1. Fuck You.

2. Don't you have anything better to do with your life instead of writing emails like this? Did you just get completely bored with masturbation?

3. He was designed by an ad agency- not us, which you would have guessed if you knew fuck-all about this business. Is that the clue phone ringing? I think it must be for you.....

4. We do appreciate your assessment of how annoying the My Simon character is, since it appears that you're an expert in that area.

5. I'll bet your dick is very small.

Tim Miller

Blur

All I have to say is....HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHA. Oh God I want to have a "position of power" to abuse it that way. Jesus H. Christ that's classic. The original story is here, and the complete e-mail exchange is listed here. It's also apparently set aflame the forums of FuckedCompany, so you might want to check them out.

Seriously. I will kill you for exterminating (with extreme prejusdice, I might say) my thread.

No wonder there aren't more people hanging around this board.

Actually... I thought we had about as many posters as Jimbo's world-O-forums, but I haven't checked up on them lately. This despite the fact I do my best to scare any new posters away if they dare to show their faces.

Heh heh.

And didn't we surpass the Speakeasy's number of posts a while ago?

Heh heh.

'Course, the Speakeasy's been around for quite a bit longer, so that's not really a fair comparison. But still. [/B]

And not only that, but you have to register to post as an alias, so that's about half of your users right there. Me alone, about forty or fifty aliases, including BaldGhoti and Keith M.

Um... but before this degenerates any further, just let me thank Jimbo for providing us with the forums to flame each other in.

Ok. Carry on with the degenerating.

Oh yeah, and while I'm here, no one's gonna give a fuck about this, but I was Brak. HAHA! It was good for the ladies, I say. At least I wasn't a goddamn hedgehog.

I think InFours was the only alias I had on Jimbo's World. Maybe Jesus as well.

But on UK, I had ALL the Evil XXXX aliases, plus misspellings of most of the top posters, plus Jesus, plus Eris, plus Kali, and a few others.
