On Saturday, thanks to the awful flooding of Iowa, the Iowa Cubs played in front of zero fans in a 5-4 win over Nashville. The flooding has killed five, displaced thousands from their homes and caused millions of dollars in damage. Therefore, Black Heart Gold Pants, an Iowa football blog, posted a video the Des Moines Register had shot with flood footage, and encouraged readers to donate to the Red Cross. Then matters got weird.It turns out that even though the Des Moines Register had posted the video on their site, with embed code, they threatened to sue the blog for embedding the video.
As it turned out, the assholes at the Des Moines Register chalked it up to some bullshit about "This was simply a case of our policy not being updated to reflect our technology (we just got the embed option a couple months ago)."
Or so says "ASSistant Managing Editor/Digital" Chris Snider (csnider@dmreg.com).
Where did they hire all these retards from?
More about this story at the once-threatened Black Heart Gold Pants blog, including the threatening email by the evil Kathy Hickman.
This blog has been harassed by that evil Kathy Hickman in the past.
Why? Because this blog dared to quote more than a couple of sentences. Actually, it's because I made fun of that unfunny, fat-assed columnist, K-k-k Ken Fuson.
Poor, poor Gannettoid Kathy Hickman (khickman@dmreg.com), it must suck to work for a company whose stock has gone down 50% in the past year and which had to ditch those lucrative pensions. Why anybody subscribes to that rag or even advertises in it, I'll never understand. That's OK, because fewer and fewer look at that paper every day. I love watching a dying industry die. If you want to read the news, just look at the web site and don't click on any of the ads. Screw them.
Actually, it must suck to be a total digital douchebag who doesn't know what the hell EMBED means or what it does! All this bitch Kathy Hickman knows how to do is threaten and scare and shovel out the harassing emails by the ton.
You've got to be D-U-M-B to work for the Des Moines Register, central Iowa's monopoly corporate newspaper.
Naturally, the Ass Piss cartel (of which the Des Moines Register is part of) can go around and steal from everybody else with impunity. What a bunch of Assholes.

Ha, that's too funny!
What I love the most is that you deleted my post. All you have done now is enable me to post more and more. It's alright until someone starts putting the pressure on you. Can't handle it? Or are you just so insecure that when someone retaliates to the big bad blogger (who still will not reveal himself to the public because he is scared of retaliation).
I do not know what possessed you to do that, but I will keep posting until you let all voices be heard. If you cant handle the criticism please don't dish it out.
The only ahole here is you.
