Like i said before, i hate getting all serious - that's not why i come here. I don't come here to piss people off or get into flame-wars. I come here to talk about music and make a few jokes... but as this is a serious matter i want to give my serious opinion...
@A'damn
In the broadcast you conducted a fake interview with one of the members of Infected Mushroom with the arguable intention of fooling the listener into thinking that they were actually listening to a real interview (it would not have been much of a 'prank' otherwise). It could also be argued that the content and subject matter of the interview was intended to harm the reputation of the individual concerned and by association, also that of the name and good will of Infected Mushroom as both an artistic and legal entity.
In law there is something called 'fair comment'. In a democracy everyone has the right to an opinion based on fact and interpretation. An opinion doesn't have to be 'right' or 'wrong', it is solely the subjective thought of the individual and carries no legal bearing when expressed in a fair manner. An opinion is not a statement of fact.
It was my opinion that some of the comments in your 'interview' could be interpreted in a way other than that which may have been intended. You will notice that i never called you an anti-semite, rather that i thought that in my opinion, some of the comments that were made with regard to the nationality of the artist in question could easily be seen in a similar derogatory manner as the rest of the interview. If you look back at my post you will notice that i said ‘i'm sure this wasn't the intention’ to clarify that this was just a possible interpretation - not an accusation or even a personal belief.
You also have the right to give your opinion... which you have done. You have explained the situation and in this light i have no reason to believe you are anti-semitic. Please accept my apologies if i offended you but whether or not you actually are anti-semitic was not the point. The point i was making was that the comments you made could very easily be seen as being derogatory in the context of the interview as a whole - especially by people with a racial ‘axe’ to grind. It is all too easy to accidentally fuel the fire of the growing number of ‘damn Jews taking our women’ right-wing redneck arseholes. I accept this wasn’t your intention.
I'd just like to add that i've noticed in your comments so far that you yourself have not attempted to make any kind of public apology to either Infected Mushroom or fans who may have been offended by your prank. All you have shown is an arrogant disrespect to all concerned... which, in terms of professionalism, is a bit fucking stupid really.
Anyway, that’s my two cents, dude.
If you are still awake after all that... Peace.

We should sue them for becoming sell outs.. Dragging down psytrance sales cos when some1 hears Infected he/she doesn't want to hear psytrance ever again 
Atleast stop calling it psytrance and appearing at anything psytrance related "The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program."

Dawn, to be honest, I really don't care if people think I am an anti-semite for that show. I know you were just playing devils advocate, but it the whole thing rides parallels with the 1980's cases of parents suing rock bands because their children committed suicide. Some people are just too touchy and are slightly lost.
That said, until this is all done and settled, I am going to remove myself from discussing it. See you all around.

Some people here have a severe case of sandus vaginus. Stop being insulted by every little thing. Go and burn a flag or something.

I'm not sure who your comment was aimed at but as i explained all i was doing was putting forward the apposing point of view. I'm not Jewish and have no personal interest in the matter. My only intention was to introduce an element of balance.
Usually i have a lot of respect for your sarcastic wit but as someone who seems perfectly happy to display an Iranian flag that is one big fucking glass house you are throwing rocks in! The only thing i've ever tried to wipe off my map is jam. 
I'm guessing some people here are also suffering from a severe case of Headupus Theirownarsus! 
Come on... which flag should we be burning? I'll get my matches.

i retrospect i can not express how incredibly stupid all of this sounds. The moment we loose sight of humor is the moment we fail to be human. Fuck Infected Mushroom if they think suing is the way to go. |
