espn wants your soul
-- Sunday, April 25, 2004 --

Below is an excerpt from the release you have to agree to if you want to be a part of ESPN's "The Season of the Fan" promotion.

"ESPN and any third parties it selects may . . . alter and/or edit the Material and/or my name, voice, portrayal, actions and/or likeness . . . for any purpose and in any manner whatsoever . . . in any and all media, now known or hereafter devised, in any and all versions, throughout the universe."

That's right, ESPN has UNIVERSAL POWER. If ESPN so chooses, it may photoshop naked pictures of you making passionate love to Bea Arthur and beam them to space aliens along with an edited voice recording of you shouting, "HEIL HITLER!"

In other news: Last I checked a couple hours ago, there were literally a dozen or more cop cars just outside my development and they taped off the entrance to that side of the woods. These woods lead back to my house. I don't mean to alarm anyone, but I MAY BE DEAD BY MORNING. If you don't hear from me sometime in the next week, assume I've met a gruesome end courtesy of the serial killer likely camping out in my backyard. Please notify my next of kin so they can collect my family's remains.

FANTACULAR, SPLENTASTIC BONUS LINK!: A couple weeks ago I stumbled upon one of the smoothest Flash animations I have ever seen and today I stumbled upon a rock and broke my big toe. The focus of this FANTACULAR, SPLENTASTIC BONUS LINK! (TM) is the former. Here it is: Bitey of Brackenwood. Check out the animator's website for more of his work. I recommend checking out his two part hitchHiker short also. The animation is a bit rougher, but the story is excellent.
