Any thirds.

Here here!! Revolt!

This "joke" was definitely not funny. It's lowest level to say something like this.
I don't have to be older to understand what you wanted to hint at with that comment, but please do everybody a favour and don't make such a sick, savorless reference again!

P.S.: Who the heck is Voldemort?

This is Voldemort.

I must say they do share the same jaw line.

Wasn't trying to make a funny remark, and I wasn't saying it as a joke. What implies that it was a joke? I didn't say "HaHa" or "Lol" or or or . I didn't say "JK" as in "just kidding". I wasn't joking. It may be sick, but I reserve the right to say what I want....one of the many freedoms we have in the United States of America.

Ah, a Harry Potter character. Thanks Juliegel. I guess it may be funny for those who have read the books, which I never did.

MichalAngelo, the 1.reason was the you put after the comment. The 2.was that I thought it would be better to take it as a sick joke than as a seriously sick comment... Because in this case, it's even worse. Do I really need to explain why?
Sure, you have the right to say something like that. But for several reasons, you shouldn't say something like that. That's all I said, and I have the right to get angry about it.


Edited P.S.: I forgot to mention, the freedom of speach is limited in a forum with several rules. And in my opinion, what you said was crossing the line of acceptable behaviour. But however, bashing and harassment is also forbidden, and I've seen so many hateful comments in the Blaine/Angel thread that I don't really care anymore... except this time.

Then take it up with the mods. There's nothing in the rules that states that I can't make reference to a sick cult leader and his brainwashed followers and the heinous crimes they commit. As for all the bashing of Angel, go back and read the threads in this forum...There are more negative comments than positive ones. And the threads are placed in the appropriate forum. If Angel cares to appear and take up for himself, he's more than welcome to.

And as far as me making comments that you think I "shouldn't", I don't need you to be my moral compass. I'm going to drop the subject now and we'll just to agree to disagree on the subject. Let's get back on topic here.

And why does everyone hate Angel so much, like really, what has he done thats so bad? He has magic back in the spotlight, thats good for all of us.

Because of the way he treats the art of magic, his egotistical attitude, his use of stooges, plants, editing, etc...that he SWEARS he does not use, his taking credit for ideas that are NOT his. He may have put the spotlight on magic, but he's moved it to himself. There's a difference in fooling your audience and just blatantly LYING to them. He thanks his "Loyals" and praises them to the camera and to the "Loyals" themselves, but expresses disgust for them behind closed doors and when the camera is off. He has no appreciation for the people that put him where he has. And these are just a FEW of the reasons. Anyone else care to add to the list?

Established professionals who have been performing for 10 or more years hate Angel, newcomers/amateurs love him, as do most laymen. Mainly due to ignorance or lack of education. As I already stated many times in the past, this hack creates unnecessary and unrealistic expectations for real-world performers; who do not have the luxury of using stooges and hiding behind a camera.

Laymen actually believe it is possible to get under a garbage can and appear on a roof. If you cannot do it too, well then you suck and Angel is better than you. When quite the contrary the exact opposite is true.

I suggested a few months ago that Blaine and Angel DO NOT deserve their very own Forum section. Perhaps I should bring it up again.

There are so many more Talented Magicians out there that are grossly under appreciated, a few in fact that Criss Angel has stepped on climbing to his status...

That is absolutely true. However, they have their own forum because they are the popular ones with Penguin's demographic, the 10-17 age bracket. Sort of the "Flavor of the Month" if you will.

Yeah Blaine and Angel generate far more income for Penguin than any other magicians sadly. They don't find out about them, the good ones; until later on.

Why not change this forum to "TV Magic", at least angel won't be in the name and it won't be as limited to just 2 magicians.
