Kimmage unleashes hell, counter-sues Verbruggen & McQuaid

[Scott SoCal]

Oh crap, now we have to start a "save cyclismas's azs" fund?
Screw that guy. OK I'm in, where do I send the money?

Count me in.

Count me in.

If I contribute can I insist on the real articles being clearly separated from the Onion-style articles?

Have a hard time telling the difference, do you?

Yup.

Actually for the most part I stopped reading Ciclismas because I became tired of clicking on articles that looked like they might be interesting to find YAPA (Yet Another Parody Article). It's sad because there are a lot of articles that put a low-grade news aggragator like Cyclingnews to shame.

 

[Dear Wiggo]

Yup.

I think the humour of the "parody" articles escaped me also.

I don't mind parody or satire articles. The Onion is hilarious. I just don't want to spend my time on something that is like a combination of PBS' Frontline and The Onion, with all articles jumbled together.

Neither do I - as long as they are humourous. I did not find them humourous.

John Stewart is humourous for me. As is Jimmy Carr. Cyclismas parody, not so much.

moi aussi!

(eta: Lesli, i am so sorry this is happening. you are handling it with so much grace. chapeau!)

why am i always in the air when the hit hits the fans?

ironically, i am sitting here in my SKINS for Travel and Recovery

and I say good on Jamie. he's made it clear that pat and Hein better not even think about it. might allow Paul a little breathing space.

 

[Benotti69]

Yup.

Yep, i stopped a while ago. I only go there through a link when someone posts a link to something worth reading.

Goodluck to cyclismaseditor in sorting out this mess.

So the consensus is that Cyclismas was krap basically, but that one of its primes is deserving of pity?

What do the two have to do with each other? What kind of psychopath would think it's OK if bad things happen to good people just as long as you don't particularly enjoy their work?

To the first part, you should have understood that that was the question I was posing.

To the second part, you are way out of line and I offer no reply.

Skinz Fuller is what it is a Self Promoter. He could have silently stepped in and let Kimmage know he has his back by setting up an anonymous Swiss fund to cover "the original fund".

I think it's important with official support against UCI.

 

[sublimit]

The trouble with Cyclismas is real cycling events with Pat and Hein and some of the dud articles on CN tend to be funnier with their usual mistakes and stuff.

Cyclismas need to up their game to be taken seriously.

And you could have stepped in silently as well (or publically for that matter). I assume that you didn't, because PK seems to have accepted Jamie's offer.

WTF are you on about?

 

[zigmeister]

Hold on now. This would indicate another, more insidious level of manipulation on the part of Aaron Brown. Are you saying that there are legitimate Cyclismas funds, that are not attached to the Kimmage Fund, that you do not have rightful access to?

Count me in.

I will setup the "fund", you can just paypal the money to that, and I will ensure that I'm the only one with access to the money and will *assure* it gets sent to them.

Deja Vu...

 

[heart_attack_man]

I don't see the big deal - at least he's putting his money where his mouth is and doing something to rectify a ridiculous situation. Hopefully PK can continue on the path he was on (whatever that may have been) and this 'problem' with his defence fund is but a mere distraction and nothing more.

Why shouldn't Fuller's company get some recognition if he's being quite prepared to pony up for it?

Geez. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Chapeau to both of them from me.

Absolutely! Why all this strange negativity surrounding the embezzlement of the Cyclemas funds? Cyclemas was krap; Jamie's only in it for the photo ops etc. Accept that one certain person may have been a complete ahole and move on. Squash him if the opportunity arises, but don't allow him to rule your life in the meantime. There are bigger fish to fry!

 

[ElChingon]

Wow, a lot of non-watchers and non-readers yet so many details, is Cyclismas the Howard Stern of cycling?

 

[cyclismaseditor]

Absolutely. Watch for a total site revamp and a new show launch coming soon.

I'm not the only one who said the same thing. Read a few posts above.

Its a bit late, this recent scenario has you jumping the shark. Cyclismas is now the USPS of Cycling news sites. You cleaned up now? You are no longer taking money from donors, you are no longer just having fun during the shows, you won't say any cuss words, you now won't cover the dicey news, you will no longer put in personal feelings to the news. Yea, we've heard that one before and basically puts you up as every other generic cycling news site. Best off starting off a new platform, Cyclismas as we knew it is now dead.

When Cyclingnews begins running articles that are anywhere near the in depth that articles Cyclismans runs then give me a ring.

Was the above an application to show you can be satirical?

A little too crazy, but otherwise not bad.
