About a week after I put some of my old stuff on YouTube, someone from a new CW show called "Online Nation" (it consists solely of shorts found online) emailed, wanting to air my ad for capitalism, Consuming Hypocrisy. I was hesitant at first, since selling out to a big corporation is exactly what my character rails against in that short. But then I remembered that I was making fun of that character. I signed their paperwork, they laughed all the way to the bank, I was about to become world-famous, and everything was great until I got this email:
"Hey Rys. Yep, I got everything, but I've got some bad news. We found out yesterday that Online Nation has been cancelled and that we're shutting down immediately. I've got about another week to go. Thanks again for getting this to me and keep on making films!"
Well, first of all, why should I keep making films if all that happens is that they almost get on a show, and then that show is cancelled?
More important, if you don't want your show to be cancelled, maybe you should create your own content, rather than be a parasite off talentless hacks who can't even get their stuff on real TV.
Just a thought.
