Let me be clear: I am one of the biggest fans of ETM. Ever. I'm not even trying to be cute - when the goon who put those clip packs of him from 2002-2009 on Scriptcover, I downloaded them all and must've played them at least a hundred times. No joke. Everywhere I went, I listened to his calls.

He's like a magnet, I'm stuck on him.

I actually was wanting to send him a fan e-mail, for real, and to possibly inquire about getting one of those "Fly Me With Balloons" t-shirts Langford mentioned as a blurb years back...

Anyone, feel free to PM me on here if you know how to reach him.

Gotcha, I just like to remind people to keep a distance in these hate/love/love to hate threads, so we don't end up doing anything illegal.

I have no idea what happened; normally, I'd go to SFN to find out.

Edit: Apparently ETM was on the phone with Howard, and they both agreed that they wanted SFN shut down, so Mutt shut it down. At least one of the SFN mods seems to have been taken completely unaware.

Eric didn't want to say what he's being paid for that tv show because someone from SFN would tell SSI and get him in trouble again. That led to Howard complaining about SFN being terrible, hating Howard, hating Beth, hating the show, etc and saying it should be shut down.

Howard's bitched and whined about SFN before. Maybe Mutt got really drunk and did something stupid.

I'm still skeptical. It's more like Stern paid someone off to do a photoshoot and gave a little extra so he could take credit for it. Not to mention he probably did the fashion for it since it looks like something someone would wear in the late '80s.

Edit: wait, couldn't someone just report Eric the Midget to SSI anyway? Midget has admitted that he's working and is purposely trying to defraud SSI. You don't really need a money amount since it's public knowledge that he's working.

It's not Howard. The only reason we're seeing these pics is to soothe his ego after his lovely calendar got laughed at on SFN.

Or maybe Howard hosed up the calender on purpose so nobody would ask him to do anymore dumb animal poo poo for charity and he can go back to taking pictures of his wife.

That said, the calendar fuckup didn't really illicit any response, did it? Outside of SFN, maybe one or two webpages picked it up. If this happened in the '90s, it would have made Howard a laughingstock. Instead, people just didn't give a drat. I wonder how Howard feels about that. It's one thing to gently caress up in your own circles, but to be a celebrity that can't even get attention at all...

I would be surprised if Howard was aware of any of the specific criticisms of his photos. I'm sure his thick defensive layer of yes-men was careful to simplify it to "SFN hates you again, boff".

Between the calendar photos and his arguing with Ralph about needing the EXACT size of the photo for Ralph's iPad app, it is safe to say that if Howard took those photos then all he did was take the photo. As in, hit the button on the camera once everyone else was done lighting it, etc.

I wonder though...I am pretty sure someone on SFN ran a Google News alert for Howard when this hit the "news" and several articles came up about the terrible photos and crappy Photoshop.

SFN had some great photoshoppers. I think that site was mainly funny people goofing on Howard, just the loons (like always) stood out more and became the focus. I'll miss having it to check out "fan" reactions besides this thread.

I really haven't been listening lately because the show has been quite boring when I have tuned in, so I'm out of the loop a little. So, Mutt closed SFN (for whatever reason), is it shut down permanently?
