Greetings and Salutation

Was a longtime member of the Random Thoughts board under another name, but have just completed a series of videos on youtube called ADHOLES: The Unsolicited History of Advertising and think maybe some of my old friends on that board might appreciate them if any are still around.

 

Good morning young William and welcome from this ancient, decrepit crinkly

 

Some of things I have released, and have yet to release, are controversial. And for those here who figure our who I am from the clues in the videos I've posted thus far, I ask that they please don't blow my cover just yet.

Here are the links if you're interested:





They are meant to be watched in order, and any feedback will be much be appreciated.

 

Hi Vlad. I hope you're not the impaling type.

 

Hello matey, no, wrong Vlad, I'm the one that led the Bolshevik Revolution in the CCCP

 

Did you ride a tank, hold a general's rank, when the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank?

 

No Willie matey, that was 'Uncle Joe', I'm 'Uncle Len'

 

Welcome to HIP

 

Hi Candy Gal. May want to put on some clothes. Looks to be a bit nippy in here.

 

That's a relief, because I have no sympathy for the devil.

 

Why is there such a barrier to becoming a member? Are you having problems with bots or something? When I first joined some 12 years ago, you could start posting in any room right away. I'm not questioning the need to do it this way, but might it discourage new members from joining?

 

Funny thing is since creating this new gmail account to host these rants against advertising, I have been flooded by spam owing to the content of the videos, as if I'm gonna buy any of the crap their selling

 

I hate spammers, scammers, and trolls.

Oh. Welcome back to HIP

 

I hate em so much I wrote a book about it

 

Actually I never got around to spam in the videos, though I was meaning to at first.

 

Nice!

 

So when can I get out of Newbie Jail? Not that I'm in any hurry, as I am kinda burned out after completing this series and need to limit my screentime for another week or so.
