Once upon a time there was a guy named Rob Anderson who did nothing all day but sit on his somewhat extensive and whiffy posterior, writing nasty letters to Salon.com to bash its animators. Rob was a beastly sort of chap, a man who used a lot of vulgarity and lived on a diet of Wheat Thins and Diet Shasta. But one mustn't demonise poor Rob, for you see, he hadn't been in contact with a woman in over fifteen years. It was truly pitiful. Rob spent his days perusing the Dictionary of American Slang to find slanderous and common adjectives to apply to a good-natured, hard-working, Oscar-winning Sundance animator, just to shake off his own feelings of isolation, self-consciousness, and semi-retardation.

PS. Sean McBride has more talent, wit, artistic ability, humour, and brains than you could ever claim for yourself, you jerk.

Or is that insensate? Anyway, I'm an inveterate star-fucker who will eagerly lap up whatever swill pours forths from the orifices of anyone who works "in the biz."

Oh, and I project a lot.

Rob,

You don't seem to like anything on Video Dog. And that's fine. But having seen your YouTube account, I hope you understand that, objectively speaking, the work on Video Dog is exponentialy better than anything you've shown yourself capable of making.

But of course, you'd never want to have your work up on Video Dog. Not when the content sucks so much that you check it daily and post comments that make it painfully clear to everyone but yourself how jealous you are that others get exposure while your genius is relegated to the peanut gallery. Maybe you'd be happier if you just avoided Video Dog all together. It can only be an awful reminder of your own creative shortcomings.

Video Dog seems to have given up on finding interesting snippets for folks to watch and to have become a simple subscription service for a few video series that seem to get lamer with each installment (with the possible exception of Red State Update). Where's the care that used to go into Video Dog?

I have no idea who Rob Anderson is - or if in fact that is his real name - but I've been to his YouTube account and decided that I know all about him. For example, I know that he's JEALOUS (good GOD!) of all these untalented losers who are featured on Video Dog. But what I don't know is that Rob has attempted numerous times to get Video Dog to post GENUINELY talented people like:

*Lisa Donovan (aka, Lisa Nova)

*Mark Day

*The Receptionist (Travis Betz)

*Doomed Planet (comedy troupe)

*Waverly Films (brilliant filmmakers)

*David Coyne (brilliant comic actor)

*Brandon Hardesty (brilliant young actor/filmmaker - see recent Geico ads)

*Sherry Sirof (great stand-up comic, now in LA)

*Jacob Sirof (ditto)

*Sandy Stec (local stand-up and dj)

So yes, as you can see Rob Anderson is clearly jealous of all these people. Why else would he be trying to help them out?

Something else I don't know is that I'm a gibbering idiot, in much the same way as the Video Dog editors.

Rob,

It's admirable that you are trying to promote other people's work, but how many of them would want to be associated with your combative and rude online persona? You're 42 years old, but come off sounding like a bitter high school student.

With the possible exception of Travis Betz, all of them.
