A CEO with balls!

It's amazing how things can get out of hand on the Net. Take Frank DiMauro of Chapel Hill, NC, in the US. He emailed the CEO of animation studio, Blur, commenting on a TV commercial featuring the cartoon character "MySimon" from the shopping comparison Web site of the same name.

Wrote Mr DiMauro: "Some feedback re: my simon character created by your studios. I find him annoying, obtrusive and the last person on earth I would invite to a party. I would hate my host forever if someone like that ever showed up at a party I was attending. What were you guys thinking?"

Six hours later he received a reply from Tim Miller, CEO of Blur. It was frank and to the point.

"Thanks for your email Frank, a few points I'd like to make:
1. Fuck You.
2. Don't you have anything better to do with your life instead of writing emails like this? Did you just get completely bored with masturbation?
3. He was designed by an ad agency- not us, which you would have guessed if you knew fuck-all about this business. Is that the clue phone ringing? I think it must be for you.....
4. We do appreciate your assessment of how annoying the My Simon character is, since it appears that you're an expert in that area.
5. I'll bet your dick is very small.
Tim Miller
Blur

Over the next 24-hours the two men exchanged increasingly abusive emails.
It ended with Mr Miller who said: "This has been really fun Frank and I and myself and the animators have had a really good laugh so far but we've got some work to do, so I'm going to have to sign off now--for good. I suggest you send your next email to " TARGET=_blank>www.enlarge_my_penis_please.com."[/b]

THat is funny. Apparently the full email transcript is on http://www.fuckedcompany.com

I want to lie shipwrecked and comatosed, drinking fresh mango juice. Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes. Fun fun fun, in the sum sun sun.
