I did so much advertising breakfast sugar to children. Fortunately some of the laws protect kids now. Meanwhile, now they're forced to wear masks.

    Agreed. Lockdown is ludicrous on most levels when you look at it. I just had a fight with my mom who claims all her channels are right and to be afraid. I said she's fed baby food and won't ever know the truth until she gets active and does her own research. Fuck the vaccines, I'll take her out myself if they'd let me.

    The sugar bomb cereal wasn't my big issue. And I think they had dealt with or were dealing with the "nag" thing. My big problems back then was that ALL the cereal commercials were about stealing it because it was so good. That's not justifiable. Plus half of them were teaching bad grammar. I could list them if you want. Ironically, after doing so many, realizing all this, and finally putting my foot down - no more cereal commercials came into the studios I was at. So I never got to virtue signal and refuse to animate on them.

      Well, I didn't get to stand my ground on cereal, and I did stay around for a few more years. It was a career. I liked the 6 figures. I loved the craft. I was falling out of love with the content. I did sponges, contact lenses, cell phones, razors, and other ephemeral shit people don't need - until I finally quit around 2004-2005 and went indie directing my own projects and spinning my wheels. I needed/still need a good partner or few.

        Sounds like we've got related passions. My mind is flooded with potential opportunities to collaborate on some projects.

        I just posted this earlier and maybe you've got 2 cents to add:
        /s/Wikispooks/comments/6zsl/wikispooks_saidit_solutions_part_1_initial_survey/

        I'm keen to read your essay. And I look forward to reading more. With /u/Robin I've discussed more WikiSpooks categories than just the encyclopedia on the wiki, including projects like essays among others (look at #8 in that link).

        I am trying to wrap up stuff on SaidIt to pull back and get my own screenplay presentable by early Spring, to get support, feedback, and do further tweaking before illustrating, sharing far and wide, and of course publishing as a graphic novel. Then build a rough animated feature from that - and eventually perhaps even a fully produced feature, animated or live action. Plus a supporting animated truth-seeking series.

        I intend to develop this stuff and other content on WikiSpooks. That post is me starting to fish. I hope to have several balls rolling at the same time. I don't want to be pulled back into SaidIt so much, but I still want to help and participate. If I've got these other things going on then I hope I can maintain a better balance.

        In addition to these, I've got a couple other ideas for developing productions on SaidIt. One is a news aggregation. Another would be original content. I don't know what your essay is, but perhaps if I and enough others loved it, you or someone could read it and I could animate something to it. Perhaps we could get more essays submitted. Assemble a book. Animate some. Indie content!!! Create a web store for merch. Bob's your uncle.

        Or not. Whatever. Much, some, or none. Or something different...?
