Axed.
So some dudes had a meeting at AOL.
Attending:
AOL executives
Scrooge McDuck
Those old dudes from the Washington Mutual commercials
Representative AOL customer
Mr. Burns
The Monopoly Man
And this guy...
Proceedings:
- Light chatter about who smelled the *most* like a 100 dollar bill. After some debate as to whether Mr. Monopoly Man smelled like real 100 dollar bills or Monopoly money, it was determined that Scrooge McDuck smelled the most like a 100 dollar bill.
- They decided to cancel my show, The DL.

Fuck. That.

There's no accounting for taste. Stupid move on their part. Couldn't they see how much the people loved you?

Ugh. Very sorry to hear Sara. I would cancel my AOL except I no longer pay anything for it.
(I had a friend who work there, oh, maybe ten years. They recently let him go too.)

after reacting to this news initially on a concern-for-friend level, i am now experiencing panic on a purely selfish level. what will happen to the goldmine of comedy and talent that is the DL archive? will it disappear forever? do i have to figure out a way to burn all my favorite clips to DVRs, or possibly buy a whole new hard drive altogether in order to preserve all the awesomeness???
AOL pigfuckers.

In am so angry and sad, Sara, both for you and on a personal level. But good, quality Internet programming just doesn't fit into the AOL family. The DL was ruining AOL's hard-earned image as the #1 Shittiest ISP in the galaxy.
You were too good for 'em anyway!

You are my new personal hero because of the DL! Am I going to have to get a new favourite personal hero now? Who will provide a platform for your genius? I'm totally bookmarking this page now. Shit.
