Got myself a chrome/six arrow smiley tshirt. Figured after the last few days I might as well pick one up. Show off the Blink love -- been a while since I've worn t-shirt from those guys -- now I can remember the day. Haha.
Holy hell! Finally it's all out there. Over the past 3 days there have been over 25 THOUSAND posts about Blink 182 on this website. Absolute insanity. In the next few days we're going to have to make sure all our content gets updated for their return. Fix up their AP.net profile, tags, news, images, things like that.
Interesting night. We'll see what comes out of it. We did a lot of checking to make sure the screen caps were legit (multiple sources, verified, of being in the chat - that it was David's account, etc.) ... and I emailed literally everyone I know in the Blink camp (no response yet). So ... we'll see. Covered our bases as best we could ... but felt we had enough to run with the story we did (seeing as what we posted is as true as any other story). Now we sit back and wait.
PS: Sorry to the band if we ruined any announcement or anything ... you know I love you. So much. Shoot David, not little messenger me.
This is so stupid. Why the fuck are people getting all up in arms over this? He smoked weed. Is this supposed to be some giant fucking deal? Anyone that knows me knows I hate weed and most of the time hate the people that smoke it on a constant basis (for being idiots ... not the weed), but come on.
Was he stupid? Yes. Should this still be an issue? No.
Dude smoked some weed and is still arguably the best athlete this world has ever seen. If he was shooting up heroin or something or ruining his career with drugs ... maybe I'd feel differently. But as it is ... Amy Winehouse deserves 10000x more punishment than Phelps.
