But yeah, I should probably just create another account and use it passively. I definitely appreciate the medium, but I just haven't gotten back into it (probably because I feel like all the punkass kids got on it and ruined it for me).
I have several people in the entertainment industry, including a few big companies that follow. With that being the case, I'm hesitant to post anything of real value or something worthwhile, other than the occasional status update.

I don't want one of these companies to call for project or whatever, then read something objectionable on my Twitter account.

So, I just talk shit here. :D

That never stops you on here. Why start now?

It's amazing how much attention this got, was bad response by chiefs though, but I live in near Tampa and I get home from work and I see it on a local site. the power of the Planet.

Fitting this is followed up by the deer story.

I'm not suggesting the Planet hasn't flexed a little muscle in the past but I think you're mis-reading the Planet's involvement in this instance. Aside from a few Planeteers contributing to the viral nature of this episode and the fact Teedubya happens to have an account here, most of this took place on social media sites such as Twitter, Reddit, and facebook.

That is great! Unprecedented.

In the Twitter age, sports teams can no longer claim to be the voice of the fan.

Social media gives fans an opportunity to hold teams accountable for their failures. Fan power is absolutely changing the sport itself.

Early adopter and active tweeter. He's talked about it plenty on this site.

Maybe Looney just got tired of hearing about HAARP rings?

Because he's a douchebag.

He was an early adopter plus roughly 25% of them aren't real accounts, hth.
