.....And Now We Return To Our Regularly Scheduled Programming

Sorry - we got carried away with all that skating in the Grand Cayman - what were we thinking? Back to the s*** that really matters - industry propaganda. While we were skating/avoiding the ASR in the Cayman, the IASC fired the shot heard 'round the world:

And even a little sticker on the front that says:
IASC PREVIEW ISSUE - 1ST BOUND COPY
THIS COPY BELONGS TO: __________________________
All those capital letters! Gawd that's enough to give you a hard on or something.....
Long-story-short: Whatever. You can judge for yourself if you go here:
  • A World Without Pros

  • (i.e. "Support A Pro" - buy pro model boards or skateboarding will cease to exist? R-i-g-h-t......)
    Or maybe you take the contrarian view:
  • A World Without CEOs

  • (i.e. "Skate with a Bro" - Be what you are/Ride whatever you want? Sounds reasonable)
    Or maybe you just like to masturbate (clearly the target demographic according to Fuel TV based on the number of ads for the Army, acne medications, and body spray):
  • A World Without Skate Shops

  • (i.e. "Let's Just Talk About Skating" - Maybe if we talk about it enough.....)
    After a comprehensive, exhaustive analysis of this perplexing dilemna, the research staff at ADDIKT have prepared what is, in our view, a well-reasoned, articulate reponse:
