  1. guest post test worked. so it looks like guests can post in the password recovery folder. Have heard this before (that people weren't getting email sent through the board). I can send those through a regular old email account too though, so I went ahead and did that with Mexobiologist.
  2. the show's creator Sam Hyde is well, read his Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/search?q=%40Night_0f_Fire&src=typd he's the show's creator, producer, head writer, etc etc. I wasn't aware of that when the show was first announced. I checked out some of MDE's youtube stuff and thought it was fairly underdeveloped and kinda dull. But I thought the same of other shows AS picked up and was proved wrong. So just kinda shrugged it off. the show never really bowled me over in any way. Just didn't really ever connect with it. but basically the show's creator/producer/writer is pretty extreme "in the tank" for Trump and the Alt-Right. very clearly and unabashedly so. So clearly that's going to be a big factor in terms of - the stuff he writes and the choices he makes for the show. It's not just like some "dip a toe in and see how it feels" relationship. He's full-on hardcore Alt-Right. Personally, the reason I think it was a dumb move for Adult Swim is - it's just lose-lose. I mean - what would Lazzo have done if he had a hit on his hands? Even though that's highly unlikely. I mean - so - it's not successful, he cancels it, alt-right hates AS. Far left hates AS for airing it to begin with. Best case scenario - the show - first of all, the show would never get super great ratings (like even RC level ratings, much less FG level ratings), but - say it does - is that good then? for the network? That puts you in the unenviable position of either having to cancel a popular show due to social pressure, or doubling down at the potential expense of general ratings, and losing a large sector of your audience. It's lose-lose. Even if it had been successful in some way - there's no win there. It was a super dumbass show to book knowing what he knew. I mean - I get - attempting to experiment/flirt with an alt-right sensibility, which arguably is a thing, has a sizable audience, and for how "out front" it is, still seems fairly much untapped and unresearched. but that tepid curiosity can't possibly counterbalance the giant red fucking flags there. Somewhere in my black little brain I sort of get why he did it. Probably much the same impulses that led to him airing that TruTV show based on the tabloid website. but it had puppets in it sometimes. so - I guess - . I generally find that Lazzo is pretty adept in his position. I think this was a glaring misstep in an otherwise pretty stellar career.
