all im sayin, is that given that amount of shit that juggalos slung at violent js face over the box set [which is cheaper than this proposed deal], they would have to include a huge amount of goodies with this ‘membership’, to even make sale one.  

if a set of eight cds that we have been actively asking for for years doesnt go over any better than that, how can this possibly work?  think they sold fifty thousand box sets?  i dont.

Brother, I cannot tell you enough times.  My qualm is not with the Box Set.  It’s a great deal for new juggalos.  My issue is with House of Wax being unavailable outside the set.  I dunno who else bitched about it, so I’m assuming you are recalling my complaining.    

me not talkin bout you.  

unless you think i am, in which case, i guess i am.  

ninjas would bitch about whatever exclusive bonus shit the ‘paid for’ juggalos got, too, would they not?  oh yes, they would.

Waive the “grace period.”  That’s fucking annoying.  Especially when I get a preorder 2 weeks after street date.  PRE orders man, the grace period should not exist because I paid for it months ago!

they have the ‘grace period’, cuz they need it.  they arent wal-mart.  i doubt they are able to get orders out inside of that period.  like, physically able.  the fuckin dons are doing package assembly, cmon.  

without that caveat, theyd have to refund every other order, or risk being a pet project of the better business bureau or somefuckinbody.  

wal-mart has that same kinda language in the fine prints.  they just dont need it, cuz they have distribution centers and fleets of trucks n shit.  

Maybe a monthly printed Hatchet Herald with goodies (singles, stickers, maybe shirts once in a while).  Gotta think: when the perks kick in, it’s good for the juggalos, but in the interim it’s good for Psy.  $7.99/month times however many juggalos are subscribed… on off months where you just send out a herald and a sticker, you just pinged possibly $10k.

and no ones gonna sound off about chargin eight bucks for a printout of the herald and a sticker…?  

no, the freshness meter will have to hover a lot higher than that, for this to work.  

i dont think its a very good idea.  its just like the lame-ass ‘vip’ meet n greets [same price and everything], only you dont get to meet anybody.  

but why do that, when they can already sell vips for a buck each and not have to reorganize their entire shipping ‘system’?  

i promise you, they have kicked the idea around before.  on a regular basis, most likely.  

and they probably decided that it wouldnt work.  

madchild is the exception here, and not the exception proving the rule.  saying, ‘he did it, so it will work for everybody else, too’ assumes an awful lot.  

and yes, we will bitch either way.  

its a question of the lesser of two evils, minimizing damage, not asking for trouble.  whatever characterization youd like to use.  any way you slice it, the negative effects are impossible to ignore, without major mitigation [ie, mad free exclusive shit].

What if it included a ticket to the gathering every year?    

good luck convincin em to try that.  

what if it came with an exclusive ep with each song customized just for you?  and a hockey jersey with your name on it?  and a personal visit from shaggy on your birthday?  and a back rub?  

sure, you pile on enough freshness, it becomes a no-brainer.  but again, askin an awful lot, for the sake of a hypothetical.
