OH! and P.S. Oprah Winfrey, Steve Hirsch has an offer for you to do a bukkake scene" - That's all people read. You are a bunch of dickheads with zero credibility in the eyes of the public. You are scum. You are predators and you are losers. To the public, you are still just a bunch of pimps with gold teeth, unbuttoned shirts, hairy chests preying on runaway teens. Every fucking idiot that got behind the idea to make an appeal on behalf of the industry should be fired from their jobs immediately.

Then there was the fact that there was no single, simple message. "Hope and Change" etc. It was a bunch of unbelievable and nonsensical scare tactics showing people in biohazard suits and direct appeals to consumers (people who could care less) with random, inconsistent messages. Really dipshits? Basic marketing 101. You need a single, simple, clear message that not only resonates with and appeals to the customer but that is instantly credible and believable. You all failed miserably in that department, being the fragmented, individualist, antisocial group of shits that you are. What a shocker.

The issue at hand is simple.

Safety.

You will not win an argument against safety unless you can prove the proposed measure "for" is dangerous. End of story. This is how it works in the real world. This is why we have warnings on hair dryers not to use them while standing in the shower. Get it? There is no argument against warning people and only arguments for, hence the warning.

This business is so full of ineptitude and stupidity, that its difficult at times to even decide where to begin in pointing it out.

One a final note... Uhm.... really? You honestly think that there should be no rules and regulations regarding the spread of contagious and deadly disease in the work place? What fucking planet are you living on where you don't see the government eventually getting involved? Testing is extremely flawed. In what other industry does this happen where safety issues aren't regulated? You can't cook in a kitchen without a hair net... but it should be ok to run around spraying HIV, Hepatitis and everything else all over each others faces? There is no word that describes how retarded you are to think thats how it should be. In fact, a new word will need to be invented to describe the level of stupidity for most of the morons in this biz.

Every single argument you fucking morons have is a losing argument. Testing is flawed. People fake tests/cheat. Models escort. Disease is rampant. Disease affects everyone.. not just the people on the film set. ... and you people are again, proving to the public why you are just a bunch of assholes that should never be trusted or believed and should remain on the fringe.

But then again, that's your destiny anyway because you're too fucking dumb to not only understand the inherent risks in frivolous provocation in conflict but you seek it.

Your enemy owns you.

He's organized
He's motivated
He controls governments
He controls legislators
He has money
He has support
His forces are easily rallied against you and your "cause"

You?

You're just an insignificant 14yr old bully with daddy issues on a street corner trying to tell everyone that you should be able to do what you want, when you want, how you want and throwing up your fists as if you are capable of anything more than misguided bravado.

Your enemy loves that.

When your enemy looks at you, he sees ...

Your forces are fragmented and poorly organized
You're unintelligent
You're predictable
You're selfish and self centered
You're short sighted
You have a very poor concept of your own abilities, capabilities and limitations
You have a very poor concept of how the public percieves you
You're easily provoked
Once provoked, you can be relied on to mind numbingly dumb decisions
You're motivated by the wrong things, and for the wrong reasons
You will never have popular support
You are and always have been, your own worst enemy
You will always be a pimp preying on the weak and ruining lives

Your enemy owns you. He just hasn't made the conscious choice to kill you yet. It will come. It's inevitable. Once they fully grasp how weak and ineffectual you are, you'll be done.

All it takes is one person to lead that charge.

One day, it will happen.

One day, a girl will turn out to be a senators daughter and addict, be doing DP scenes and die on the set of an overdose and the entire industry will be finished. Thats all it will take. Thats how weak you are.
