Aw man. That is evil!
Hi. Just like what I’ve told for a lot of times already, to clarify and avoid people from spamming and leaving harsh comments on my blog, I am in no way connected with the organizers of the event. Everything is good and clear between me and the photo owner.
Just to quote what Tricia have said:
“Thanks. Yes, I’m in the process of contacting them already. My friend’s been contacting them as well. I’m sorry if I brought a bit of attention to your blog. I knew that you weren’t a part of it, though I guess some people didn’t get it easily. :] â€
And this:
“I’m so sorry for the problems that this issue has caused you. I already put on my main website that you are not in any way affiliated with the company. I really apologize for the mess we’ve brought to your blog. I just hope people actually read mine before they react.â€
Thanks..=)
what you are saying is down right mean. do you have any proof to support your claim that the company isn’t doing anything?
Lionel: Evil and stupid.
Ed: I know.
Emily: To quote Alodia’s mom, “All they could offer are VIP tickets to the concert and an announcement of the proper credits to be done during the show. I couldn’t divulge any further as Tricia and her lawyer are taking over the driver’s seat on what legal action to come up with after their formal letter was also being ignored.”
“VIP tickets” to a free concert? A passing “announcement” after the fact? That’s less than nothing.
