Good news, everyone! I don't post here that often anymore, but since this is relevant I thought I'd share it: You might remember I was in favor of running ads here to make money. No one went for it. Well I finally figured out how to monetize WF content. Lately I've been rewatching Red vs Blue on YouTube and I kept getting ads for this Hulu/FX show called "Dave." Dave apparently chronicles the adventures of this goofy white guy rapper whose stage name is "Lil' Dicky." Of course I've been referring to the poster Diacanu as Lil' Dicky for some time now so I did a little digging. It seems this "Dave" show is like "Seinfeld" or "The Sarah Silverman Program"--Dave is a real person who started rapping on YouTube. He's been using the stage name Lil' Dicky since around 2013. Well I got in touch with FX and pointed out that I'd been using the name Lil' Dicky on the Internet since 2009. We agreed that there was no way I could prove that Lil' Dicky ever saw Wordforge or any of my posts and we agreed that if I were to take legal action, I'd likely lose. But not certainly. And that even the most minor lawsuit would have costs. So FX agreed to cut me a check for $5,000 if I'd sign an affidavit, waiving any rights to the term "Lil' Dicky" outside of referring to Diacanu on WF. I mean, I could've gone after Lil' Dicky himself, but I felt like the production company would be less emotional about it and more willing to make a deal. I mean, they probably pay less than $5,000 for catering when they make an episode and it turns out I was right. So it turns out one can make money from their WF writings after all.
I'm thinking I'll keep $2,000 for myself and split the rest between donations to the NRA and the Trump campaign.
Who the fuck are you, again? Oh yeah, the fox twat. $5k won't be enough to buy you out of Storm's basement, y'know. I'd invest in lube if I were you - there's no escape, but you can make the stay more comfortable.
wow... using the system of redress not only for, but as the tool of extortion? Ayn Rand would totally blow you for that...
Didn't Volpone flee so he could start his own board to discuss teh buttsex? Or was that another poster?
OOH! OOH! How many "God Hates Fags" cakes do you think I can order for $5,000? Even if only 5% turn it down, it should pay for itself in lawsuits.
Why all the hate? This board was founded to be supportive of creative writers. And right here, I've found a way to make some modest income from my writing. I mean, it's not like getting paid for a Star Trek novel someone else wrote, but it's still pretty decent cash. But instead all I get is ridicule and derision. That said, if a couple lesbians can run a bakery out of business for refusing to make a cake or a pair of homos can end a florists career for refusing to do a gay wedding, it only seems fair that I should be able to cash in on anyone who would discriminate against my 1st amendment right to freedom of speech and religion by refusing to make me a cake. And I can get a lot of cakes for $5,000. I just need an attorney that will take the case on contingency. Wouldn't that be awesome, guys? If WF was the tool that let me retire? All because I coined the phrase Lil' Dickie for Diacanu? But I'm getting ahead of myself. First I've got to find myself a bakery that won't make me a cake in a principality where the courts are likely to support my Constitutional rights.
Isn’t it weird how the most unsuccessful people think they can make bank for some stupid thing they did on the past. I mean, you’d think they would turn that energy into something like ... you know ... a job or something.
I think to be equivalent you would need to find a bakery that refuses to serve you for holding homophobic views that you present respectfully, not for them refusing to print a specific message on the cake.
seems to me that there's the matter of likeness rights if volpedo claims to have created something based on Diacanu-which he clearly has here.
At the bare minimum, even if you’re not into rap, you should at least watch the $ave dat money and professional rapper videos. “I knew your nasty ass wanted some head”
