Markyx's Work Mentioned in Village Voice

Nice skeptical piece here by Ed Halter:

In true Internet fashion, Loose Change has even spawned a counter-video. Mark Iradian's Screw Loose Change takes on "911 deniers" by subtitling a running commentary over Avery's video, parrying and mocking his arguments as they unfold. William Lewis and Dave von Kleist's woefully titled 911 in Plane Site also generated a critique, Not in Plain Sight. In this case, the attack comes from within the movement: Not in Plain Sight's anonymous author claims that In Plane Site is so full of errors that it must be intentional disinformation created to mislead and discredit the movement. (Not in Plain Sight also includes the most wonderfully bizarre music of any of these works: looping, whoomping synth blurts that resemble discarded takes from the 1980 Flash Gordon soundtrack.)

First, grats for Mark.

Secondly:

With any luck, we'll see a whole new batch three years from now, made by embittered, paranoid conservatives who have been voted out of power.

Uhh most of these people hate whoever runs the country, Republican or Democrat. It's funny how ignorant most members of the media are.

Mocking people is not very nice...

But it's a whole lotta fun.

And it's a lot nicer than mocking people killed in a terrorist attack.

"[A]s one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him? / He will surely reprove you."

Oh no, the Bible.

marky, did you ever think that you'd one day be celebrating an honorable mention in Village Voice? ;-)

When I heard that the Village Voice had an article on CTers, I thought, "Ah, crap, here we go," but I was so pleased. This and the Maddox piece hits LC makers right where it hurts: their target demographic.

Congrats, Mark.

The Loosers' target demographic is "people who need an apartment share and a transvestite hooker?" Who knew?

Um, yes.

It's a very specific market share.
