This is probably everywhere, idk since I'm working.
I am STILL not getting this. So, OTW are my official spokespeople and I'm fucked if I don't like it because I didn't sign up to be part of the board? This is so very colonial of them. They planted a flag and if I don't like it, screw me? This is the way this feels, truly. Colonial and officious. I don't know if it's simply that I'm too old and grumpy or too punk rock, but this shit just rubs me the wrong way. Why you on the radio explaining this as though we need to explain it? Does this make people involved in OTW feel important and tapped into the hierarchy of the media elite? It feels like a bid to get 15 minutes of fame melded with a lawyer's need to meddle.
I know the majority of my fl is down w/ this organization, but I've yet to have it explained to me in way that doesn't feel like someone telling me what to do because it's what's good for me. How the hell does someone else know what's good for me? OTW is like broccoli?
As long as The Man (in the form other than Pete Wentz) doesn't show up on my lj telling me off for those Eminem fic, y'all can kick sand all you want, but I really think it's jerkwaddy.

PS: There's some kind of lj com for Mad Men interview links and crap, right? Please tell me there is.
