KarmaCritic, Fox and Screenwriters

K here.

This showed up in the comments section of "On The Lot" Members Move Out.

From KarmaCritic:

"Just discovered your blog. I'm glad I did! I'm surprised you picked up on our contest after just one day of publishing the promo, but that's why the blogosphere has its reputation :)

I concede the comment about the mystery judge was cheesy... hollywood types dont like a lot of risk, and this trend seems to go up proportionally with how high they are in the totem pole. Its a "if it flops, no one knew I was in it, if it succeeds, I'll come out and jump the bandwagon" kind of thing.

And screenwriters -are- filmmakers! We take anybody who has ever worked above or below the line in any production, studio or indie. If there's no film to enter in the application, any reference to anywhere film that credits you is enough. Thanks for this post, I'm enjoying the rest of your blog, we agree a lot about On The Lot, obviously. Did you know the VP of FOX Branded Media was engaged with us in hand-to-hand combat in Wikipedia?

It was fun: http://www.karmacritic.com/node/276"

Hmm. More updates later when I read and review what happened...

UPDATES!!!

Going through all the information, it seems rather cowardly that those affiliated with FOX would try to censor wikipedia. I mean, it's a free encyclopedia, for Chrissakes, calm down, Fox. You've got an entire station to manipulate.

Regardless of whether or not On The Lot lied about how it does business is one thing, but to repeatedly erase truthful posts on wikipedia simply because you're pissed that your show isn't as hot as you thought it would be is seriously crossing the line.

And House is such a good show, too.
