Looks like I'm about to get into a media war
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 06:36 PM by HEyHEY
We've heard the major corp station in town that we always humiliate news-coverage-wise is going to "make a run at our newsroom."

It seems that the GM heard lots of street noise about how we kick their ass and he got really pissed off.

So now, they have the same solution any corp run by accountants has. Hire more people. We laugh cause they already have twice our staff and we kill them...so what are a few more gonna do? Problem is they don't hire people that want to be reporters, they hire those that wanna be DJs and do the reporter thing in the meantime.

I say bring it on, I love the taste of corporate blood. Fuckers.

2. Oh, I shall
It's a bit of a shame. I'm friends with the competition. And things could get ugly...then they'll get fired because we'll still slay them.

6. I won't, I'm extra pissed
Because one of them tried to degrade our coverage of an event by lying and saying we weren't there.

9. No prisoners!!
Remember the words of Patton, bud. "We're gonna kick 'em. We're gonna bite 'em. We're gonna go through 'em like shit through a goose!"

Or, as the Lost in Space Robot put it more simply: "Crush! Kill! Destroy!"

:evilgrin:
