WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WITH SLAP'S ONE IN A MILLION... PART 2

[anthonym]

Pretty much exactly what I expected Alex's responses to questions to be. Though I did love this line:

"Forrest Edwards? mouth was actually a NASA engineered meme generator"

This isn't MTV.

We don't need fucking drama in a skateboard reality show.

Parody of american reality tv? That clearly wasnt the case. He's just trying to cover his ass.

The aspect that was fundamentally wrong with this show is they weren't picking the best skater. They were picking based off of dumb as shit challenges that had nothing to do with fucking anything

Board graphic drawing? Pizza delivery

[era]

Steve Rodriguez was completely joking that whole time... now thats funny.  Maybe I just have a horrible sense of humor.

[Patey]

sick joke bra

[sleepypancakes]

Fuck you Alex Klein, SLAP wants OIAM to be good because really, we don't have anything more than the Forum anymore. The mag is out of print, and then you take the one contest that was actually interesting to watch. You fucked up, admit it. You ruined OIAM for SLAP and for Skateboarding. Thank you. Sincerely.




If you didn't understand that was a joke about the parody of a washed up am turned producer, if you didn't get that you're probably like a 757 flying through the...you get it.

[paraquat]

bull fucking shit dude didn't read all the youtube comments... This pile of shit was his baby.

[dankradschwag]

this guy blows, no wonder he never made it as a skater. wonder who they interviewed for part three.

[landCow]

How do you feel about some of the hate you have received online?
I don?t read it.

maybe you should. listening to criticism can be a good thing.

As expected Alex Klein spun it in his favor. If the show was meant to be a parody of reality tv, then it missed the mark by a long long shot. There has to be some indication, maybe a slight wink to the audience to let them know this. of course it was not a parody and that was obviously a lie.

[cringe.]

how dare he call us itillerate !!   

[Monty Burns]

this years OIAM  was like the move   " The Room "   made 100% seriusly and just as bad . But to cover up the shittyness the director made it out to be a comedy instead . But we all know thats not true

[Cthulhu!]

What a fucking kook.

[ccc333]

Alex Klein is a faggot.

"parody ( /ˈp?rədi/; also called pastiche, spoof, send-up or lampoon), in current use, is an imitative work created to mock, comment on, or trivialise an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation"


You can't just make the exact same thing and call it a parody.


OIAM was a parody of reality TV in the same sense that a Droid is a parody of an iPhone.

How do you feel about some of the hate you have received online?

"I don't read it. I live in New York City. If I want to be surrounded by ranting illiterates I'll ride the subway."

i don't really want to wish harm on anybody... but.....fuck this dude's whole life.    seriously, somebody needs to swing on this clown and bring him back to reality.   beyond moron status.  

wow.  you live in NYC?  you can read? you're practically a goddamn magical flute that we should all bow to.

[anblue]

Alex Klein is KING FAGGOT.

[weed420]

A good producer ensures that his audience is illiterate and stupid and as a result takes no criticisms to possibly help out any future endeavors?


What a fucking idiot, he blew it and knew it and instead of trying to fix it in any way he blames the people who he's trying to reach out to be the audience. He also blamed the kids on the show, who apparently were allowed to do what they wanted if they got kicked off? Bullshit.

[McBrandt]

I wish they'd do a second interview with him, and ask him about the skipping out through the backdoor with all the footie incident, amongst other things that were brought up. I wonder if he'd answer them, or how he'd spin them to make him try and appear faultless.

[backagain]

That motherfucker! How dare he quote Louis CK! 

[johntsunami]

this season was horrible. enough said. you messed up the formula. YOU MESSED UP A WORKING FORMULA

[victor333]

That motherfucker! How dare he quote Louis CK! 

YEA! I like Louis CK!

[jerrys_kids]

By stating that he doesn't read the forum and then insulting the people who post there clearly shows how idiotic he is, who would be the producer of one of the biggest happenings on a website and not read the forum that people on the website post in to see their likes and dislikes, reading that interview made me want to punch him in the face, how would illiterates write in a forum anyway?

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

The worst thing about the CK quote is the content- "Everything is amazing and nobody's happy."
Amazing according to who? EVERYBODY hated it.

It reminded me more of the original video they are commenting on here:

Obedience	Small | Large

[Big Skatefase]

What a fucking kook.

i dont know if i would resort to violence, but this irked me as well.

also

"Just typing that sentence sent a salty tear down my cheek."
what a douche....

 go fuck yourself alex

[Jive Turkey]

well I am glad he cleared that up. This whole time I thought he blew it, but apparantly I am just an irrate idiot that didn't get the joke.
Boy is my face red.

hahahahahaha, exactly.

[ChronicBluntSlider]

The idea that there are a million clips of just skating online, so he did something "innovative" by ripping off every other reality show is RETARDED.  Thats imitation, not innovation.

[Monty Burns]

hahahahahaha, exactly.

Find it hard to belive that he didnt read a single " review " or comment of his show . Not wanting any feed back at all or other peoples opinion

And instead of admitting that the show wasnt a raving succes or that it even had problems and instead blaming the entire skate community and every new yorker who takes the subway is just showing further what kind of fucking idiot this guy is

[trannies and mannies]

Man this guy really sucks.
