If you don't mind my asking, what happened there that made it so bad?
You mean with the podcast guys?
The really really short version is that they listened to my shitty podcast and instead of attacking the crappy content or anything like that, they decided to turn our promo for the studio into some racial shit because they're hipster pieces of garbage.
little bit longer version. My co-host was saying how great the studio is, everyone should check it out. They do awesome digital arts classes, you can host podcasts or make music videos, and he goes "if you and your friends want to come down and make a rap video, you can come down and make a rap video." Without remembering all the details it kinda doesn't sound like a big deal, but they spent like 15 minutes calling us racists, then went to twitter and went to our work accounts telling us how we've defiled black culture by mentioning rap videos and being white. Just stupid dumb shit, but it was completely classless, low, and in my opinion, way way out of bounds for a fake soccer rivalry.
It sounds like I'm overreacting now as I write it, but just trust me that I attempt to be level-headed as much as possible and this just screamed to me that these losers aren't good guys. The fact that they were tweeting at my work account about being a racist is what really got me going.
If they said we're morons because we suck at podcasting or didn't know anything about soccer, etc... all fair game. That just rubbed me the wrong way hard and I stand by my feelings. That place will never get a dime from me as long as they're welcome there.
