FAKE SMA Episode 35 and LEAVE SMA ALONE! videos

[KrisRix]

For those of you not in the know:



We received a lot of shit, since we're not raising money for cancer, or whatever. Within an hour, I couldn't take listening to people whine about an optional one dollar any longer.

Follow up video:

People seriously flipped out!

Wow...just wow.

[KrisRix]

Right? I was shocked. I didn't think that so many people were that dense and/or ridiculous.

It's pathetic.

With the countless amount of online artists who ask for donations, I've rarely EVER seen any of them say: "If you don't donate, I won't make any more 'blah'." In fact, I never have! I'm sure one exists, but I've never seen or been a fan of one.

I guess the best thing to do is to clue them (which you did, in the best way possible) in to the fact that you guys would still continue the series. I mean, LOGICALLY, you'd assume if the person didn't mention "I won't make another episode until I get donations", it obviously means they'll still make an episode regardless.

I guess logic has been lost. So...is there a brochure for Raye's religion?

I just donated $30. First off, I can understand the fact you want a cool camera, but backing the video up with a parody of Chris Crocker's [sp] "Leave Britney Alone"? This is madness! But I digress, I wouldn't mind as long as I get a special drawing if I donate over $25 (at least that's what I thought). Oh! Before I go, I was wondering, If you get enough money and people are still donating, what would you do with the extra money?

[KrisRix]

We'll put up another video once we have the right amount, letting everyone know that they don't have to worry and/or bitch any longer.

It's sad how many people bitched and missed the point thinking you guys were actually begging for money. Some particularly stupid ignorant Youtube comment to laugh at your own disgression

"umm. correct me if i'm wrong. but it would seem your attempting to use your popularity based from the abridged series to attain funds for a new camera for your enjoyment.

all in all if people want to donate it would be fine and you do produce a fine show. but do let me remind you sailor moon is not yours and as such no profit may be made off it. "

Even though they said in the video that the camera will be used for SMA related purposes and no sh*t the SMA teams know they don't own Sailor Moon.

"I'm not sure but I think what you are asking might be illegal"

Or not

"Look my friend and most other abridgers are able to continue making episodes even with FULL time jobs at the same rate you do (some even faster). Do you see other abridgers begging their fans for money? No. You say the camera is for SMA purposes but I'm sure you'll be using it for other personal reasons as well. Have more respect for yourself and your fans. It's illegal to accept money for something like this either way"

Yes because it really sounded like they were begging to me. If by begging you mean friendly suggestion. And it's not illegal there not making money out of any copyright material.

<3 I'm glad that there are people who understand.

It's amazing how self-righteous these people got. And how easily they can just keymash without thinking about what they're saying.

Okay Kris there's one VERY important question I've got to ask

....where did you get those KICKASS shades?

I sense a CSI Miami reference response.

Amazon.com a few years ago. It was a 3-pack for like, 10 bucks. Figured they'd break pretty fast, but still seemed like a good deal. I lost one pair, my sister stole the other pair, and that pair has a big crack in them (recent), but still!
