we're not trying to be mean, we're happy for you. Kind of hard not to read it when its posted in yur banner. We just feel its time to move on.

Nah, I was just being mean. Yes it's time to move on , it's been like what? a year and a half since Brokeback came out.

If Josh Holloway ever said he liked one of my vids, I'd not only keep it in my banner for life, but I'd have it tatooed somewhere on my body...

...and I'd probably put a pic of that tattoo in my sig as well.

You have no real obligation to plug LVI. It's your video. LVI doesn't own it. It's not like you're making money or anything and if you were, that'd be all kinds of copyright infringement. But I'm skeptical as to why when Evi did a random search on YouTube as she stated in that interview that it must be your video that she saw. Do you have any idea how many brokeback type parodies there are about Jack and Sawyer at YouTube? In all likelihood she may be talking about your video, given its prior exposure. I think it's great that you got mentioned on entertainment weekly's site and that the post interviewed you, but yours is not the only brokeback parody out there. That's all.

And it's so easy to just say "well if you don't like it don't look." Last I checked this was a community and I have a right to my opinion. Whether contradictory or not.

it's not that she shouldnt be proud, but obviously im not the only one feeling like she's rubbing it in our faces.

Wow wow wow guys, I really don't want to start anything on here. I'll stop posting in here then. I am proud of my video so I'm not going to take it out of my banner. And I really am not trying to rub it in anyone's face so please don't take offense to anything I post on here.

Peace to all!

I'm not offended and I certainly don't think you shouldn't be proud of your video. You certainly should. I was just a little taken aback when Colin suggested that Evi might not be talking about your video, you seemed to assert it couldn't possibly be any other.

The hell with it, Steph was contacted about her brokeback vid and it was featured in a film festival but she isnt bragging about it.

Whoa, whoa, neutral corners, please.

Molly said she wasn't trying to offend anybody, right? So there's no call to keep arguing about it.

*puts out cookies and milk, turns on some soothing mellow mood music and dims the lights*

Now, let's just all have a zen moment...

Ok since I'm the bad guy here, I'll just say it out loud.

Quote:

She could have easilly taken this opportunity as a straight-up chance to just plug herself and her vid, but she's been really selfless with a lot of this and tried to give back to her roots.

She didn't even mention LVI or link it from her you tube page. When my little video got like a thousand hits and I put LVI on the description. So it does sound like self-pluggin to me.

Aislynn is certainly right. And I know I hate it when someone rains on my parade. It just struck me as a little dismissive about the suggestion that jimmy kimmel interview possibly being about one of the other bajillion bb/lost parodies on youtube. That's all.

And what I was saying about Molly not having to plug LVI. I meant it. I wouldn't judge based on that. I would be disappointed if someone found an opportunity through one of their videos gaining exposure and they turned it down or downplayed their talents for the sake of the team and not seeming like a sellout. If you don't promote yourself, who's going to?

That's not what I was commenting on. I was commenting on the Jimmy Kimmel interview and that's about it.

just so you know, I had removed that post and decided not to say it lest it spur more fighting, so I would rather you just forget I said anything and rather just know that I plan on defending Molly here.

As for that, I have nothing to say except to point to the Washington Post interview.
And if your goal here isn't to keep Molly from coming to LVI anymore, then you best stop now please. Enough is enough.

I didn't even realize you removed it Warren. I'm a little slow. I certainly don't want Molly not to come around anymore. That's crazy. No one wants that. Would anyone care for some mangoes or a gun? reference to wildly sexual overtones in jack and sawyer's poker game, for those playing at home

Don't mean to be rude but if you watch at the end of my video (and all my other new ones) I have Lost Video Island in the end credits.

Nate I don't want it to sound like my video is superior to the one you made at all. I mean, you won first place over mine!! I know if I was in your position I'd feel a bit bitter too. You're such a cool person and I really don't want any hostility towards us! So please can we just let this go?
