Also, the joke itself (Spaced) is apolitical. Just because it's a phrase doesn't mean invoking it is instantly taking a position.

Imagine being a kid into heavy metal and supporting cops—times have really changed. I'm glad I grew up with Body Count.imagine hating the cops....
Well it is how feds "sound out" potential snitches on-line these days.Having this conversation is ”SSO Bingo Card” levels of repetitive.![]()
The US Supreme Court has already ruled that the police have NO legal responsibility whatsoever to protect anyone. Their only responsibility is to protect state property, nothing else. So the very idea of a "thin blue line" is itself a legalistic absurdity."the thin red line" is like a point of no return, where your safety can no longer be guaranteed. A line-in-the-sand, of sorts.
The way I always took the "thin blue line" is the same way it's on Wikipedia: "The "thin blue line" is a phrase that refers figuratively to the position of police in society as the force which holds back chaos."
Which of course muddies the waters, as fire fghters use 'thin red line" as a way to firefighters who have fallen in the line of duty.
This. The joke, since it needed explaining, I guess, is that someone would pay more than $10 for literally a mostly straight line in blue tattoo ink.Also, the joke itself (Spaced) is apolitical. Just because it's a phrase doesn't mean invoking it is instantly taking a position.
Made the thread title vanilla, since the brand seems to have legitimized itself at this point.
well this won't end well
Can someone explain? I am so confused...
Shady dude known for doing shady dude things now working for a company historically known for employing a bunch of shady dudes.
It really doesn't matter, it's just sort of funny.
Truthfully, I don't think it would ever be the deciding factor on buying one of these, but it's definitely a turn off in my head as far as the enthusiasm I have for the brand in it's current state.
He'll move on to the next hype machine soon enough, so its a non-issue big picture.
How did you spec it out?I agree with all of that, I'm friends with Mike Fortin, having bought two of his amps since 2008. But I've never understood why he had that guy be his "artist relations"
Perhaps this could be a good thing for B.C. Rich, since zakkkk may bring better artists or more relevant artists than 5 finger dick punch?
Either way, doesn't change the fact that Neal Moser is back and Dan Lawrence is back. If those guys are overseeing the build and Dave choen and BRJ have nothing to do with it, then one hype artist won't ruin the situation.
In fact it might help get rid of all that godamn ABALONE!
I just put in my order for my custom Ironbird. we shall see.
I mean not to derail the thread (i guess it is relevant though) like what has he done thats shady?
