From Blackheart Cleveland:

It”s just… tiring; the same people year after year, trying gimmick after gimmick to get someone to hand them money. That”s the way people seem to operate in Cleveland. How can I trick people into funding my pet project? How can I scam some cash for my business associate? Screw whether the project is viable, or whether it even needs money to be a success in the first place. What”s in it for me?

You know what… trying to bootstrap your ideas in order to make a buck is the American way. There”s nothing wrong with that. But pretending that your motives are altruistic while doing so is scummy shyster behavior. Be honest, motherfuckers. Admit that you”re out for yourselves, to feed your egos, to make an easy buck. You”ll feel a lot better about yourselves – it will be freeing. Come out of the closet. And, in case you didn”t know this, your efforts at marketing improve nothing. Try harder.
