Hopeless People

April 24th, 2009

In case you are wondering why I took down the Port Hopeless videos it’s because of a certain individual complaining who was featured in an episode. The web series has been scrapped and I will eventually re edit the 3 parts into a short documentary.

Now enjoy excerpts of correspondence with said individual:

William,

I was reprimanded again tonight at the theatre for my ‘alien’ remark in your video. This whole unpleasant affair - and your dad’s upset - could have been avoided if you’d checked with those in the video before posting it. In future, nobody’s getting near me with a camera. I’m not happy upsetting my fellow Port Hopers.

If I’m not removed from that video by the weekend, I’ll have no choice but to file a privacy complaint with Youtube. Please rectify the situation PDQ!

XXXXX

And my reply:

XXXXX,

Only retired, bored, nobodies would make such a fuss over a youtube video. I reposted the video due to the amount of anger I got FROM YOUR FELLOW PORT HOPERS after taking it down.

My father is upset at you disrupting our project and I’ve decided to take the videos down NOT because of your shallow threats but because of the pathetic self importance this must be giving you. “Nobody’s getting near me with a camera.” Ok, Britney. Honestly, this must be the most excitement you’ve seen in a while. You should be thanking me.

William

I would like to make it clear that in no way were these videos an attempt to slander the town of Port Hope or it’s peoples. If anything we were celebrating the town my father loves to reside in.

However, I will make certain to have consent and release forms on hand to prevent similar issues in the future.
