Wellllll.....during Mr Norths legal actions towards the board and it's admin (Just showing you he is really an asshole when it all comes down to it)
wait.... what? forgive me, for there have been rather long gaps in my attentiveness to the board since i signed up in mid-2004, but i never heard that pappy took up legal action/s against the board/you.... what the fuck happened here?
was it basically something about him, to use a colloquialism of the epoch, being "butthurt" that people were talking about him in a largely-negative fashion during the end of his tenure @ the score and his adventures over @ chisports webio? i mean, what the hell could he charge you guys with? slander? libel? did he get before the congressional panel and claim that his good name has been besmirched?
if anything, you'd figure that the existence of a messageboard that talks about his product/brand/person, despite potentially/rampant negativity, would essentially be free promotion for the guy. if he wants to make an argument that google/searching for his name would trigger results that lead you here, where people are predominantly speaking negatively about his increasingly-shoddy endeavors, still..... isn't it just free publicity/promotion?
there's that timeless adage that there is no such thing as bad publicity.... and let's be honest and do something that, no doubt, mike has done countless times himself; let's call a spade a spade: if someone's google/searching for mike north, odds are that they're already some sort of a fan of his or likely aware of who he is and what he contributes to our wonderful society. i mean, does he think that some guy in bumblefuck nebraska who hears his sporadic shows on a foxsportsradio affiliate is going to go "hrmmm i wonder what this north guy is all about?" search on his name, find results that lead him to threads here where he's getting bashed for some dumbass shit he's done/said, and then turn around and go "you know, those guys on the messageboard are probably right.... i'd better not listen to this mike north clown because he's bad news?!?!"
if anything, all of the negative talk about him would make you WANT to go and check him out and find out what all the fuss/commotion is all about, right? it's like in the howard stern private parts movie when they give the stats to teh corporate board and they say that ppl who like howard listen for an average of 20 mins @ a time because "they wanna see what he does next" --- but the ppl who HATE howard listen for an average of 45 mins @ a time because "they wanna see what he does next" --- same phenomenon here.
forgive the relative longevity of my reply, biggie, as i know you're definitely one to remind me that brevity is the soul of wit.... but i'm just so damn incredulous over the concept that pappy done got up off of his pasty ass and sued you that i had to take a few mins and break it on down and spell it out that such action/s are just..... laughably bad and misguided and ultimately pointless, kind of like mike north's product/brand/person 12 years into this 21st century!
