RIP-OF WARNING: BEWARE THE PINCANUCKS
or rather,
RIP-OFF WARNING: BEWARE THE PINCANUCKS:
The CD called BOB'S MEDIA ECOLOGY is totally unauthorized
and is as sleazy and dishonorable a rip-off of the Church as
ANY Conspiracy assholes have ever tried to pull. It's a
collection of excerpts from a Canadian counterfeit SubGenius
radio show done by a smarmy, smiley-face jerk named Bob Dean,
who calls himself Bob Dobbs (sic) and uses our jargon, but
blabbers in a Pink "Accept the Conspiracy" manner nothing at
all like real SubGenius style. They never asked permission,
they've refused to put disclaimer stickers on their product,
credit us, or pay us - not even the slightest acknowledgement,
much less ROYALTIES, to we of the Church whose sweat and blood
made "Bob's" name mean something. In fact, Dean tells the press
that he's the original "Bob" Dobbs and that we "stole the idea"
from him. (Needless to say, there are many indeed who can
testify otherwise -- especially Dobbs himself!) We would try
to fight them in Canadian court, but we're very broke and Nelson
Thall, Dean's producer/sugar daddy, is the wealthy son of a big
newspaper magnate in Canada. Therefore we would really appreciate
your helping to spread the word as far and wide as possible about
this injustice and Slack robbery.
more later...
Slack,
