It strikes me that the most prominent person at CA that spoke out against harassment strongly (albeit clumsily) was loving Noah.

Also, tune in to the last 20 seconds of the most recent Midnight Screenings for vague allusions. That 3 hour Channel Awesome panel sounds like it's going to be a grand old time.

Like, I sincerely hope people don't go to the panel just to be assholes and scream at them. As several other producers have pointed out, paraphrase, "Do not harass producers. Do not scream at them about their choice to leave or not."

Buuuuuuuuuut-- even the dumbest of the Dougs has to know these questions are coming. If they were smmm{snicker}smart and good a PR {HAHAHAHAA}-- they'd open the panel with a statement about the situation, ask people who have questions (not attacks) to come forward first, and get that all out of the way right away, even if it eats up a good chunk of the panel.

Well, I did mean how one does a split-screen porno with themselves, but you get points for the joke. B+. I'd give you an A, but you should have put a porno variation on the theme. "There's so much jizz rendered on the screen..." etc.

Good effort, I'm proud.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

It's pretty hosed up, and absolutely believable of VICE.

I would be surprised if they see any trouble simply because their audience won't give a poo poo and the very reason she wanted that information to remain private is because she's inside China with very little access to Western legal protections.

Vice just can't help but rake up unrelated muck. Ombudsmen may as well not exist anymore.

I'm reminded of the infamous Dr. V's Magical Putter Grantland article a little, although the consequences here aren't nearly as extreme as they were there.

I remember Amy. I thought that was download-only title, and it got pulled from the storefront.

Still, that sounds like a it'll a good contender for the Awful Block (although I don't remember if they do that specifically during SGDQ). If it is, then hopefully, you've got some wacky stuff to show off, Dan, because AGDQ 2018's Awful Block is going to be hard to follow up.
