When you let the loonies out of the asylum…

What happens when you let all the people in the lunatic asylums out into society? You end up with websites like The Spin Starts Here ^[1] (I wasn’t going to link to it, but I feel obliged).

My attention was drawn to that site a while back whilst searching for something, which I can no longer remember. What I do remember however is that it got a giant black mark in my books and was deemed “not to be visited”.

Recently my attention was drawn to that site again via another search, on this occasion I noticed that they were violating the Google Adsense terms and conditions, which they have since corrected.

My latest encounter with them started last night when a Google Alert for “Dickson College” landed in my inbox, the extract Google provided was

He’s from Dickson College and can write? That used to be enough to get you …
But then I got to this bit: “Yesterday around midday Dickson College had the …

The first bit was odd and caught my attention, but the second bit appeared to have a direct quote from this site, so I clicked on the link and saw the article in question. It was one of their inane discussions about Australian Idol. In the ensuing discussion somebody calling themselves rudyzarsov made a comment which included

I’m sick of looking at the bland c**p that Tssh has become and I feel that it’s only fair that I express my opinion.

This prompted a comment from “Blah Blah” who had this to say

Hey Rudy, here’s what you should do. Look up http://samuelgordonstewart.com. It’s the worst blog you’ll ever find.

Blah Blah then went on to say that The Spin Starts Here is much better etc etc.

That did bring some visitors here, and not surprisingly the visitors from TSSH weren’t impressed by a website which actually makes sense.

Anyway, it turned nasty, “eat my shorts” went on to say

Alright Blah Blah, I thought I had Samuel figured out. I thought maybe he was a retiree who used to work at 2CC and was now stalking them (as you do with previous employers). But then I got to this bit: “Yesterday around midday Dickson College had the annual year 12 photo taken. This would have been enjoyable if it wasn’t for the fact that it took about 20 photos until the photographer was satisfied.”
Excuse long quote, but for f***’s sake, is the dude serious?? So he’s in Year 12, or, as well as being a retiree stalking 2CC, he’s a retiree stalking Dickson College’s Year 12’s?? Freaky.

To which the evil pompous loony woman who seems to run the site, Caz, said this

eat my shorts, he’s a genuine bona fide school kiddy who is often spruiking 2CC in the comments over at johnboy’s site. He also doesn’t like strong language or People Who Need To Be Glassed.

Johnboy’s site being The RiotACT, where I stopped citing 2CC as a source because people started accusing me of being sponsored by or working for 2CC…which I don’t. As for strong language, well it has its place, but I generally choose not to use it. People Who Need To Be Glassed is a site of similar ilk to TSSH.

Then the Dickson College part of the Google Alert appeared in the form of a comment from “roobar”

He’s from Dickson College and can write? That used to be enough to get you put in hospital, but listening to 2CC as well. F***, standards have dropped from the old Hackett Boys days.

And of course Blah Blah just had to continue making an idiot of himself/herself

My apologies Extra Dollop, I didn’t know quite how to warn you for that blog. The whole thing actually leaves me a bit speechless, because I just can’t believe that anyone normal would love 2CC as much as this dude does.

Anyway, I felt like antagonising these idiots by replying, the upshot of which is they all proved their stupidity and Caz managed to make an idiot of herself by stating that she worked for 2CC for five years, she continues to claim that 2CC is the worst radio station on the planet, but it can’t bet that bad if she worked there for a full five years.

Showing the type of people that they truly are, they went on to pretty much try and convince me that the entire world revolves around sex, and nothing else is important…what strange individulas they must be.

I’m not going to continue quoting the utter idiots at The Spin Starts Here, but if you want to see the completely moronic conversation that I had the misfortune of being part of last night (although it was fun antagonising them) then click here ^[2] to be taken to the article in question on the worthless waste of bandwidth which is, The Spin Starts Here. (Note: Comments sorted in reverse order…scroll down and read upwards)

For the record, I believe that 2CC provides quality radio, and that some people just aren’t bright enough to realise it.
