We received a press release this morning about the annual IVD (Independent Video Distributors) and ECN (East Coast News) warehouse show that was held October 3rd thru the 5th. They host this show to introduce buyers from various companies to the lines they each represent to help business grow blah, blah, blah. That's all well and good and cute and all until you read the press release. It states:
"So many people came up to me at the Gala Dinner and said they had a great time this year," said IVD founder Frankie Kay. "That’s a true testament to the hard work of our sales and support staff. We put on an awesome show this year, and introduced new titles and lines to store owners..."
Hold up their champ, I didn't see any invite in my inbox for this event. No letter asking POPPORN.com to attend and make the event that much more interesting and thus, your event definitely was not awesome. In case you don't know, IVD and ECN are run out of Hightstown New Jersey of all places and we are located where? Hello! Philadelphia. Check a map!
Look, the POPPORN.com editorial department is very, very upset. The fact of the matter is that you had a huge warehouse party in central Jerz with free booze and we were NOT invited.
What the fuck, IVD and ECN? We could have brought Meatball and BUCKTON to attend your little “adult DVD and Novelty distributors” show? They could have:
1) Molested at least two potential buyers as they waited in line for essica drake’s autograph
2) “Sampled” at least 12 toys (and thrown them back into the mix, sans cleaning)
3) “Performed” live on stage with two “willing” amateurs
It could have been great. Frankie Kay, IVD owner, YOU LOST. Totally. We will now insist on an industry wide boycott of all things IVD and ECN. It's on fucko's.

Makes business sense to me
[(Bangs + BUCKTON) * Open Bar] / IVD picking up the tab = IVD out of business
yea...
WAR! On an individual or business level, I so love WAR.
I love it even more when it's an on-line throw down... I now really like you cuz you aint afraid to make non-friends.
Bad form IVD, bad form...I
Bad form IVD, bad form...I have no idea who they are, but not inviting POPPORN means I will not support whatever it is you do!
Bringing you guys to a party
would be like shooting yourself in the foot, it's cool and all but fuck it's gonna be bad news in the long run.
I'll show YOU shooting.
Let me see your foot for a second.
Whatever
IVD never invites the media to their show - or send out press releases. Or the media never spends the money to actually go all the way to fucking New Joysie. I've had to pull my own teeth to pull together enough info about the show in advance to even say who will be there.
And mullets? Fat guys with mullets.
So you support the ban?

Buckton got an invite actually,
but I decided to go to the woods and eat acid instead.
