call me cruel but I love how the ETM videos are full of comments about a "eric is dead" conspiracy

quote:

I was reading on the SFN that all these new Eric videos were filmed almost a full year ago. Apparently the doctors told Eric his death was imminent and wanted to leave some kind of legacy... which would explain why he looks so horrible in these vids.

quote:

Without a current newspaper in the video, I'm led to believe this video was shot before the midget died

quote:

Why did Eric record all of these videos before he died and why is his roommate uploading them? Let him rest in peace

Ahahaha, ETM is now upset that they didn't play his "happy birthday" message.

He's definitely going to call pretty soon.

At least twice in the video, he pauses so long I thought the video had crashed :)

Also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EafeQdjGUo

He talks about the shooting in Tusan and the first thing he says:
"this proves I am not dead"

class act Eric

I always imagine Fred's system at Sirius like typing a Google search where it does the type-ahead find. So he can start typing "vodk" and it'd show all clips with that in it's title/description/meta-data and then he can just click and play one.

What's more impressive is when this wasn't on the Prophet system and he was using carts. One time Howard even tested him by making up some story about walking through dark woods and Fred was right there with sound effects.

Tell me we have video of that somewhere

I remember watching the Behind the Scenes special with Richard and Sal on HowardTV when they explained the process for making the prank calls

They edit the calls to be as short as possible (Stern hates any call that is over a certain point - I believe its 5 mins as he always labours the point "it runs over 5 mins")

They explained the need for consent and that they do a lot of calls where either it doesn't work (Bill mays calls garry the retard or the Christian Bale calls a lighting shop) or they don't get consent.

As somebody explained, its all fair when its jack and rod as they know its a show.

I am 90% certain the calls are legit but as ever SA has me doubting the sky is blue and the sea is green

Am I the only one who agrees with Howard that the Artie chair should stay empty to keep Artie's mental health?

He'd be upset if th the replacement is better (and people are going "gently caress Artie, this person rocks more"), worse ("gently caress Artie, he ruined it by trying to kill himself)
or if he returns ("LOL Artie bought any knives lately?" call would be inevitable)

Affectively there's no win here, whatever action Howard takes, Artie suffers so he's just going to let it stay empty in tribute (To say he's irreplaceable)

I agree that the "Artie chair" should stay empty until Artie is back but I think they should atleast start having people sit in on the show every now and then. When was the last time someone stayed on for the news?
Christ, even getting Sal in there for a day a week would be fresh.
If they did it right and used people who Artie knows and is friends with then it would probably be less of a shock to his system.
I love the big fat baby gorilla, but something has got to give.

Listening to GJJ, Sals first appearance was really special - his wackpacker uncle, his games and everything reeked of joys and love of the show ethos

Welp, ETM has responded to JD's challenge to be an actor by deleting all of his Youtube videos, his page just shows the TNA eliminate the hate video

Boo sir boo!

HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHA that is absolutely the greatest possible outcome. I look forward to hearing JD brag :3:

I disagree, the best outcome would to see him do the Godfather Monologue thinking he is awesome and being proved otherwise

Essentially he's going to blank the whole thing and go off radar for a while which only lessens the laughs

I was looking at the SFN site and I saw this:

quote:

I just got off the phone w/ Johnny Fratto who just had a call from Eric the Actor & his upset parents. We've made his mom cry. That's why i'm pulling the plug on this whole dead midget gag. We've all had fun but it's time to stop. honestly, it was getting beat into the ground around here & elsewhere people were busy contacting him directly. it's ran it's course & i'm asking you all to move on to something new.

I don't want to see any more dead midget photoshops or threads. you've done plenty & they were tons of fun but it's not funny anymore. He's taking it to heart & considering he's already lived past a sick midget's life expectancy, pics of their son in a coffin is not what the parents need to be greeted with. i don't know how it got to them but my assumption is some people went too far w/ the joke & were contacting him & his friends.

so to recap
- Eric the Actor is alive. he's not dead & he's never died at all.
- I do not want any more dead midget fun going on here.
- I'm also asking you to drop it outside of SFN. I know i have no right to tell you what to do on facebook or myspace but please follow my lead & lets drop this one.

thanks

PS: If you know someone who has a memorial site, obituary, edited wikipedia, etc IMHO the joke has gone far enough.

PPS: If he can't drop the dead midget stuff, I will understand if you guys can't drop it and I promise, if he gets all gloaty acting like he put us in our place, i'll put everything back & tell u all to carry on.

We made the mom cry :(

Thinking about the Eric suicide FB message, could you imagine what would happen if that little lobster did himself in?

God, I can hear the news anchors in my head already!
"Tonight, Howard Stern drives disabled man to suicide!"

The press would make a meal of the whole thing
