sad, sad day.
I know i’m a nobody around these parts with about, what, 8-9 months’ worth of experience in this business, but it doesn’t take a genius to see that the folks running CAP are little better than anyone else in any business.
Come on: It’s recently been a blur of rampant nepotism, selectively looking the other way while money is “disappearing,” threatening lawsuits, censorship of those fallen out of favor with the party, screwing the consumer whenever possible and, best of all, a near-fistfight at an industry convention which cracked the mainstream news thus making this industry look very, very good to the public at-large.
(I have to say that, even though nearly every week a new low is hit here, i have to admit that only one moment has been laugh-out-loud-worthy: The line from one of the two would-be pugilists offering to “settle this outside,” a line last heard when Fred Flintstone was a contender. Geez, why don’t Warren and (ahem) “The Professor” just “take this one outside.”)
I’m sorry i wasn’t here for “the good old days” or the Camelot period to which Triple 777s refers, i guess. When i entered the business, i was optimistic about this seemingly interesting band of entrepreneurs and mavericks; today the industry merely seems like another mostly soulless greedy bunch.
The resources are still useful, though … hmmm, think i’ll talk to the boss about CAC today…
Cheers,
Os.
