Just
read your article about
suicide-girls.com. Makes sense, I (and a lot
of other people) have been kicked off the site
or had their access restricted for reasons that
the people (or person, really, probably the
guy who you talked to) who run it can't even
tell.
I still don't know why I was kicked off the
site.
Y'know, I'm an anarchist, totally opposed to
capitalism and all, but shitty business practices
just double suck.
Anyway, good article. I'd never heard of you
before, so I'm gonna go download some mp3's.

I
just wanted to give Storm a big pat on the back
for that article about "the little man behind
the curtain of SG."
Although I don't know both sides, it certainly
rings true. For fear alone of the silly misinformed
ranks of the SG army I refuse to name my sources,
but I will say that I have it on the highest
authority that there is quite a bit more of
that hissy-fit behavior behind SG than meets
the eye. Plenty of girls have been dismissed
under mysterious circumstances, which only encourages
the rumor mill of people trying to explain away
what happened. It's sad really. Only the girls
tossed to the way
side
(and possibly their closest friends) know
the truth behind what really happened. (Telling
their side usually results in being booted
off the site, and dismissed by a majority
of the Girls who are unfortunately misinformed
by management to save face). For the most
part there is a vein of similar circumstance
that runs throughout every girl's story. They
woke up to find they weren't valued for their
opinions or individuality as they were led
to believe, and that in the end what they
amounted to in "The Site's" eyes was a tattooed
piece of sellable flesh and not much more
than that. It is business, and apparently
business is good, but a site based around
100+ girls who wear their opinions on the
outside as much as on the in is likely to
be a breeding ground for contempt and disappointment.
With all the wonderful press lately it's nice
to see someone put up a little educated contrast.
Just for the record however, the site itself
is great as well as the girls, the community
and the idea of it all, it's just that the
management need not look a gift horse in the
mouth.
Always,
anonymous.

It
doesn't occur to Phil Stanford that maybe
you don't return his
calls
because he's a jerkoff? I've always wondered
what the fuck does he write about Exotic for
anyway in a smarmy cutesy "About Town" society
column in a yuppie "newspaper" supposedly
aimed at a mainstream audience? Which they
never even PRETENDED to do. They'll get paid
anyway, so why not just promote friends and
friends' businesses, etc. Drop names, suck
ass in print.
He should just write about what it's like
to get paid for sucking, for being failures
at what they do, for losing money hand over
fist. Great gig. Same with the oh-so-critical
everyone-but-us-sucks "Portland Mercury."
He attacked Jim after the Officer Partridge
thing and it was totally baseless and unfair,
yet when Jim e-mailed a perfectly reasonable
reply explaining his side, Stanford didn't
even have the class to correct it or acknowledge
it in the column.
I'm tellin' ya . . . .
