Since you brought it up, "Everything's Fine" is one of my all-time favorite CD's. If anyone hasn't heard it yet I highly recommend picking it up.

Note to the World:

LN is not an abbreviation for anything you have mentioned.

LN is a 20 year old college student named Ellen (oh, how witty are we?) who was in New York for the summer and lost her freaking mind.

I would say you'd think a 20 year old would know better than to become a raving fangirl, but N2N brings out crazies of all ages.

Does anyone know why the last 500 or so folks to comment on Alice's youtube account wrote 'Buck sent me'?

So sad!

I'm confused. Why is she being censored? And by whom?

[binau]

Posted: 8/20/09 at 2:04am

Manager/producer/publicist or something, I could imagine, doesn't want her to do it as they might think it gives her a 'bad' image.

What happened with Ellen? I'm drawing a blank.

[heo1128]

Posted: 8/20/09 at 2:34am

Really? You think it's a producer/publicist issue? I just assumed she was sick of the "Why don't you make any sense?" and "you are so crazy!!!!!" comments.

Hmm maybe. If that were the case it would seem like an odd way to exit though,

Though if it were the case that it was a producer/publicist issue, then you would think she would drop the 'crazyness' for the final video, to restore (if she has it in her :P) an image of sanity.

I'm not sure now.

The main reason I don't think it's a producer issue is she seems almost bitter or something in the video she made before it. I would think that she would be much more professional about it if her superiors were shutting it down.

It does sound from how she said it that she was told to stop, but I don't see why. They were unusual (and entertaining), but I don't think there wasn't offensive or harmful about them. Oh well.

Plus the whole title of CENSORSHIP :P.

No one wants their employee (or FUTURE employee) to appear "out there". In Spring Awakening, the adult woman undertstudy was told to stop her blog about her exboyfriend and his new girlfriend. She almost lost her job over it. She, indeed, seemed "crazy" and irrational.

If it affects her professional appearance, they can tell/ask her to knock it off.

I think it has something to do with her "Homage to Hand" video because it's not up anymore.

You're right--it's gone.

[heo1128]

Posted: 8/20/09 at 6:10pm

Hah, that one was certainly not the zaniest of Alice's vids.

Peppermint Twist, anyone?

"The editing has begun."

Someone is clearly making her do this. She acknowledges that "her ideas" (so this is a character, as anyone with a brain could figure out) are being compromised to "compensate for somebody else's lack of understanding."

She certainly isn't happy about having to do this, either.

I didn't get to see the hand video, can anyone describe it?

And for the recorde, I think she's brilliant.

[TheatreFan4]

Posted: 8/20/09 at 11:08pm

She held up a statue of a hand and recited a chant with a death stare into the camera.

Perhaps someone felt it came off that she was of some off-color religion, or that it was Satanic? They, like I, must have forgotten about that Rocky Horror revival.

Can we start a campaign to BRING ALICE BACK to youtube? I want more videos... lol.

[RachelO]

Posted: 8/22/09 at 5:33pm

Agreed.
Let's do it.
