Taps Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I think he's now aware of this thread. Give him time to read it and get his ducks in a row first
FrancoisO Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I do not think Pornstar needs to comment. I think he will deal with the person directly.
Jules Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I do not think Pornstar needs to comment.? I think he will deal with the person directly. Â Â Â Of course he needs to comment. The guy is a "brand ambassador" for goodness sake. He's on the Whasp website. Â Â Â Pornstar has been an outspoken critic of littering in the past. He even introduced an anti-littering initiative. Â Â Â Even if Magoo's empty sachet really did "just fall out" of his pocket, he needs to be taken to task for suggesting that littering is a trivial matter, issuing veiled threats on the hub and generally behaving in a manner unbecoming of an ambassador.
chuck Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I don't know either of the gentleman so I cannot make a judgment like most did on this thread. For something to fall out of your pocket when you take your hand out is very easy and feasible. For it to look like it has been thrown down to somebody is also very feasible. I've lost unopened gels when I put something in my pocket and taking my hand out. Since he is presumably not a paid employee his sponsor does not have to publicly comment on the issue. He can address it privately which is the right thing to do. For magoo not to enter into a senseless debate is also a wise decision on his part. So the guy has been shamed, rightfully or not, lets get a life and move on.Â
Rocket-Boy Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 What would have been sensible for magoo to do would be to apologise even if he didnt think he was in the wrong. That way people would have been okay with the whole thing and it woulnt have fanned the fire like insulting people would. but he didnt apologise and thats why I have just read 20 pages to see what everyone thought! I do have a personal hate for anyone who litters though, so thats my standpoint.Â

fiasm Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I love this-20 pages. why hasn't 'pornstar' commented? read his blog-he's a litterer alsogood on you, jb, for sticking it to this guy anyhowÂ

With a response like that if I was a sponsor I'd like to calm the waters and clarify the whole debacle.
MoreTrails Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Â Every time I see a Whasp sticker or product' date=' I'll think of this thread.[/quote']Â Think how this is going to damage this local brand....very sad. Someone get hold of Pornstar and get him involved in this, his livelyhood is literally on the line here!!!Â
chuck Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009  What would have been sensible for magoo to do would be to apologise even if he didnt think he was in the wrong.  OK you must be F@#$@# sh*tting me right? I'm not saying who's right and who's wrong. I did not see it happen so I cannot judge. If it's true he is a prick. If it is not then it's a case of mistaken guilt. But you cannot seriously think that somebody should apologize for something when he does not think he did wrong? And yes I have been know for getting out of the car to pick up litter and hand it back to the offender so I'm not trying to defend anybody but this is turning into a joke.Â

Johan is a person who would never act on an assumption. I believe that Johan knows what he saw and posted the truth. On the other hand the response from the accused was not exactly convincing but merely threatening and playing down littering as being a trivial matter.
