Our affilates and marketers: those that assist in getting the word out about our art and keeping up with pop culture and it's relation with the world were verbally abused today.
Normally we like to hold onto the notion that any publicity is good publicity. Today we will have to say, Foul language is never necessary.
THIS IS WHAT START THE VERBAL ASSAULT: We are sorry if you are further offended.
NowThis: publicized Eminem as he went after the NRA in this powerful performance from the iHeartRadio Music Awards. An interesting question was poised by an anthologist known as Advent Voice who is assisted by numerous broadcasters in getting his art out to the public. He asked in light of his observations over the years. " What do you do with people that refuse to see obvious political propaganda, especially when it is displayed in our Pop Culture? Doesn't the artist begin to feel they are being ignored or unappreciated?" When he saw the show of rappers using the voices of today's youth to help bolster a very serious argument, which has been ongoing for a long time now, "Freedom of Speech and 2nd Amendment rights," he and so many others must ask, "Who's side are these American performers on, why are they not educating the public on the real problems if they have chosen to speak, why do they continue to dance under cryptic lines and use inclusive language such as, "THE NRA is Standing In OUR way."?? Who is Our? Who is he speaking for, certainly not himself who is the promoter of the movie 8 mile which is supposed to be the story of his life and those he knew growing up, whom never understood real gang violence but set out to promote it, if not encourage it. Of course you can not phase Mr. Shady he is whatever you say he is, if he wasn't then he would have told you of some other way to incorporate him in the limelight of the world. Right now he poses as the mentor of our youth. Very interesting. And they have the nerve to say music has nothing to do with how people feel about politics. It's just a mode of expression. I agree in freely expressing ourselves but where do we get off claiming one organization cares more about hunks of metal verses the lives of their children. It is in the protecting of these rights that our politicians feel they are doing their part, I wonder besides polling strife, what has Mr. Shady done for the positions of his 1st and 2nd Amendment rights?

We were called all sorts of names and the art was ridiculed because we decided to ask a question. Instead of feeding into the bait of being called an *asshat* we rebutted with this latest post on ethics:
The internet has become a volatile place. If you support an opinion different from the mainstream thought you will be tagged as a "backward thinker," retarded and targeted by mean spirited people who when confused or frustrated or have no answer for a question will become violent in nature and speak horribly to you. I happen to like the responses of people that disagree with me. I don't claim to be right about a thing. I just like to talk and think. What I don't like is when someone calls me an asshat on Twitter because I or my affiliates asked a question? "Who's side are these American performers on, why are they not educating the public on the real problems if they have chosen to speak, why do they continue to dance under cryptic lines and use inclusive language such as, "THE NRA is Standing In OUR way."?? Who is Our? Who is he speaking for?" We feel anyone that is willing to ask for spare change from the government (SpangeDGov) every chance they get should only speak on the viability of the amount of pot they smoke and have to sell to make ends-meat. @Scope2Mars was verbally attacked today for saying (this) in response to our previous posts: Leave it to a supporter of marijuana & #TheSimpsons to disagree with me. (Me was in reference to everything associated with avproductionsblog.wordpress.com and this reddit forum) Anyone with a college degree in anything outside of #Memes please feel free to respond. Do not feel discouraged by anyone who has already apologized for the mental illness they carry & use to #SpangeDGov. It should be understood that because we value the rights of free speech and desire to express how we see things in the world, that respect is in order when discussions are to be had on topics that bring up controversy, not to go around calling people, asshats. It is language like this that gets you "Fired," from work or "Blocked* on Twitter. Because the world is changing and we the consumer is making a mass majority of what is seen and desired on the internet, there really needs to be a discussion as to what is to be excepted and what is not. If we don't want to talk about it. The least we can do is take proper steps in safe guarding our own presence on the internet and make sure we are doing our best to keep open minds and forums free for those that desire to simply ask a question.

OUR ART WAS SMEARED AS PORNOGRAPHIC AND UNPLEASENT SO WE BLOCKED THE VIEWER LEST HE/SHE IS FURTHER OFFENDED & WE HAVE SET OUT TO APPOLOGIZE IF WHAT WE CALL ART HAS OFFENDED ANYONE.
There is a little piece of us that is happy with the outcome. Our art is doing more than we ever dreamed.
It is making people think.
