Anyone else riffing the Rolling Stones right now? Or is that just us?
-thump- -thump- This thing on? Check, 1, 2...
Legend has it that when man opened Pandora's Box it contained 7 sins and 7 virtues...but well beneath them all, there remained 1 final sin. Opinion.
Oh yeah, we said that. Opinion is a sin. Or at least, that's what today's society wants us to believe. Seems nowadays that if someone holds an opinion, and they actually dare to express it, if it's not the currently popular one it will be lambasted and admonished and they'll burn you in effigy pretty much.
That's where we come in.
. We like to make waves.
Why?
Simple. It encourages dialog and exchange of other opinions that mirror our own so now it can add some more context, or, it offers up opposing opinion that we can challenge OR adopt as our new opinion. The exchange of dialog is the key element though. Someone famous once quipped, "Controversy creates cash." Those are some of the truest words ever uttered by mankind. Cash can also be seen as a wealth of open exchanges (of dialog).
Why are you here??
 episodes to start. If the channel was getting people to tune in, we'd make more. If not, we'd have to reconsider our overall course and correct as needed. Despite our best hopes, it went nowhere fast, so the twenty produced thus far are the only ones we have in existence.
So far. We said that, right?
These were low budget, very amateurish videos but so chock full of our particular ranty flavor. Admittedly, we enjoyed doing them. From a vanity standpoint, we love the sound of our own voice some days. Very "FM radio personality" type voice. This was done because YouTube had launched some new content filtering bots (Content ID) which in itself is awesome, but at the same time presented a whole world of UGH as we all scramble to use as many open licence sounds and images as possible without pissing someone in Hollywood off.
There were considerations to revamp and then relaunch the channel, and that was right up until The Adpocalypse happened. All at once we scuttled any thoughts of ever relaunching there where we knew without question that our brand of content would never be considered "advertiser friendly", so why bother?
 and have really only ever early-adopted one time prior. It was time to make that twice in our life to early-adopt.
And so here we are. Here for you. Here for us. Here for everyone that cares to tune in/follow/sub/etc..
So what are you bringing to the table??
 that hurt feels/butthurt/disagreement is not a valid reason to squelch someone else.
So if you ever wanna know the truest reason why we are here - there it is.
Steemit has avalanche barriers.
The posts we are about to make and keep making are, as we so eloquently put it, guaranteed to offend. There's a lot to be said about truth in advertising. We lay it all out for each of you from moment one. The shit we write is guaranteed to offend someone, somewhere. That bears repeating. Fortunately for us, Steemit and their Community allow us the freedom to throw it all out there and not have to concern ourselves with objections based on pure emotional stunting or rampant butthurt. We can now say and post what we need to, and what we love to, and not have to ask ourselves even once if it's at risk to cause such a commotion as to have it removed because gee, Little Billy didn't like that we have an opinion on something that lays waste to their beliefs.
For that, Steemit and every member here, we thank you and wish to repay that kindness with what we hope will be entertaining content that provides the value you mention and strive for.
. Suffice to say that it was easy to upvote them for the content they provided which I gained benefit from. Thanks guys and gals.
We look forward to providing you with content that appeals to us, in the hopes that the dialog and exchange we've sought will be found here in spades and will appeal to you just the same.
These are indeed exciting times we live in, for better or worse.
It's time to get started...
Off to the races...
Free your 8

 for sensible reasons like people NOT having access to our image so they can go on a witch hunt, or doxx us, or complain to our employer/clients that we hold an opinion they don't like, or to generally harass us/stalk us. If anyone questions whether we are a bot or not, we invite you to contact us and request a phrase with between one and five words and we'll be happy to send one (a pic with your selected word or phrase) your way to satisfy your idle curiosity and confirm our humanity. We're cool like that.
