Really Flashcash?
 
From your latest newsletter:

"Apparently everyone in The United States all dropped acid at the same time and elected a black guy named Hussein before they sobered up."

I don't even know where to begin with this classless, racist, and utterly stupid statement. Considering that a good number of your affiliates voted for Obama and possibly are from African American, mixed-race, and/or Middle Eastern descent, I can't figure out what you would have to gain from this baseless remark. Look...I'm all for clever PR and sarcastic shit, but it shows really poor business judgement to express your political views in this way.:mad:

FreeHugeMovies 11-17-2008 12:45 PM

If they did that, that's one stpuid newsletter.

Ditosta 11-17-2008 12:48 PM

I did not get it, When was that released?

WarChild 11-17-2008 12:49 PM

When asked to comment on this obviosuly very serious and not one bit sarcastic line in the newsletter, Halcyon had this to say:

EscortBiz 11-17-2008 12:52 PM

fucked up shit to say and this coming from someone who did not vote for obama

jmk 11-17-2008 12:54 PM

Oy woah....

- Jesus Christ - 11-17-2008 12:56 PM

I resent that statement.

I only use mushrooms and peyote, not acid.

Rorschach 11-17-2008 12:58 PM

Wouldn't be the first time Flashcash has done something stupid... That program has certainly seen better days.

Profits of Doom 11-17-2008 01:00 PM

My only problem with this statement is that they are way behind the times in their drug references. Who the hell still drops acid? I haven't seen a hit of acid since 1998...:disgust

CCdoug 11-17-2008 01:00 PM

<--- Speechless

LilBro 11-17-2008 01:02 PM

lmfao!!!!!!

Just Mike 11-17-2008 01:05 PM

WOW! That's hard to believe that came from Flash cash. I'm sure it's just a big misunderstanding.

PhillipB 11-17-2008 01:09 PM

Hey I like Hal and love those mix CD's they create. We even send a little traffic to them. But I think it shows a good deal of ignorance on their part.

WiredGuy 11-17-2008 01:10 PM

Who writes the newsletter is the big question now...
WG

tranza 11-17-2008 01:11 PM

It was clearly a joke.

:2 cents:

Halcyon 11-17-2008 01:12 PM

I am really surprised by the response. If I offended anyone, I truly apologize. Each newsletter begins with something borderline offensive and "out there."

I thought it sounded like a silly thing for someone clueless to say. But if it is taken in another way, I sincerely apologize.

I am a HUGE Obama supporter, personally. The txt in the newsletter, however is merely me trying to be funny and does NOT reflect the opinions or politics of FLASHCA$H.

I just had a great laugh! awesome!

Jens Van Assterdam 11-17-2008 01:15 PM

gdfffffffffffffffffff

CosmicTang 11-17-2008 01:15 PM

There's got to be an explanation to this. A misunderstanding or a joke that sounded much funnier in someone's head than it does written down.

Halcyon 11-17-2008 01:17 PM

as reference, here are some other examples of my humor in the newsletter:

If only politicians could just own up and apologize like that.

Monique Niccole 11-17-2008 01:50 PM

Now that tweet makes sense.

undersoul 11-17-2008 01:59 PM

bloggingseo 11-17-2008 08:55 PM

Okay, I figured Hal would have voted for Obama. He's too laid back, open minded, and pink to like republicans

GTS Mark 11-17-2008 09:29 PM

Phil do you need a hug?

Dumb, why even bring up politics in a fucking webmaster newsletter? ROFL

NickB. 11-17-2008 09:55 PM

I personally think its plain rediculous
