Default Oh, it never ends...

From Jonathan Todd's latest fan club email:

"#2. FLEETWOOD MAC FACT CONTEST: Within two weeks we expect to post a game
of MAC FACTS on the Club Site. This game will have prizes for the first
400 members who get all the answers right! You can keep playing the game
until you win and if you’re in the group of the first 400 members to get
all questions right – you’ll receive a prize. We have some cool stuff for
these prizes. We found a collection featuring hand crafted Egyptian items
ranging from sterling silver earrings to ceramic necklaces to scarab beads
and bracelets. These items are made in Egypt and a portion of the proceeds
is donated to charities whose mission is to preserve the monuments of the
Ancient Land and to aid needy children in Egypt. If you’re a winner, we’ll
send you a prize from this collection. We’ll cover the shipping and
handling for all our winners too! Once we have our winners, we’ll move the
quiz over to the main Fleetwood Mac site for everyone to play – but without
the prizes! Stay tuned for more details. We’ll email you an announcement
when we begin the contest."



I am speechless. I'm sorry, but is this a Fleetwood Mac fan club or the QVC channel?

I'm really really really fed up with this fan club. It totally sucks. NOT WORTH THE MONEY AT ALL.

Yea, a better contest would be, who can make like a Mexican and beat the **** out of Jonathan Todd with a baseball bat piñata style. The first fan club member to crack the guy gets a nifty spleen and charcoal heart AND good tickets to the show! Now THAT'S a real game.

Wasn't the MF site offering some strange drawings awhile back ? I think they were Erte but my memory fails me. It also seems to me that there were some other arcane items he was hawking. Random. My money says these "prizes" are some lame ass keychains and 99 cent store reject earrings.

What the HELL am I going to do with Egyptian friggin' earrings? I'm not into dressing like Stevie at the concerts or elsewhere
I'm all for charity, but wouldn't AHI or a leukemia foundation have been more in keeping with the "interests" of this band?
Why do I get the feeling Mick has bought stock in sterling silver. Hmmmm....

And BTW, I get an e-mail from the fan club about once a week. I didn't get this one. And when they do arrive, I get the same email twice. And you know what? I don't care. I've never gotten a helpful email from this club. Each time I see an email it just slaps me in the face as a reminder that I've been ripped off.
(Club Motto: Gift of Getting Screwed)

If I meet this Todd guy, I'll tell him just where he can pierce to hang this crap out of.

speechless! This man should be put in an assylum, please!!!


Is this one of the perks that the few believers have been holding onto?


Uh...I'm sure the guys are gonna be lovin the earrings and necklaces.


I think this is more along the lines of Sears or Pathetic Fanclubs Anonymous.


He has so much clout with WB and his fancy lunches with Mick that he could only get 2 cds and 2 posters out of them. I bet this jewlery must have set him back a good $50 at the local flea market.


Everytime you think this couldn't get any more pathetic and reach any new lows, it manages to reach deeper. Gee, there's how many more months of this tour left.

PLEASE... Stevie John or Lindsey, save the fans from this torture! I would say this gives being a fan a whole new meaning.


Can't wait to see what he's got in store for the people who were unhappy with the first presale. He did say he was going to make it up to us. Maybe we're getting personally monogramed Hefty bags or Fleetwood Mac Flip Flops.

Okay...I've changed my mind. I don't want him fired. I want a drawing and the winner gets to string him up at the last contest and have a go at him.

Hey, maybe we're being unfair.
This new FM/QVC marriage is fetching.
I, for one, would love to have the chance to get my hands on my very own Chia-Stevie. I understand it makes a great gift for the holidays. Do you think they could manufacture 400 of them for me to win (each with a different Chia-Stevie hairstyle)? That would be so worth my fan club investment.
And while they're at it, maybe they could offer a Clapper that allows me to turn the power off on Mick's vest during each concert.
Then there's the Thigh-with-wooden-balls-Master.
Am I leaving out any other tasteful goods? Remember, this is for charity.

If ONLY a clapper would shut that spitting drum machine off! I say it's going to take a dozen hits with some rotten fruit.

I think "someone" (cough adminstrator cough), would be REAL interested in that Thigh-with-wooden-ball-Master. She'd be trading in her rehearsal tickets in a flash for a shot at Mick between her thighs. That's for making all of us read those disgusting remarks and fantasies for the last 6 months!

Well, I for one believe it isn't a party without PEZ. Get your collectible Fleetwood Mac PEZ people right here! (alcohol flavored PEZ) Only $99.99 with your membership to the SHAMclub. Oh, wait! Stevie Nicks bobbleheads!!! She'll rock out to the beat of "Gypsy." OR, we could have the Fleetwood Mac whoopie cushion. Instead of making a fart noise, it'll have Lindsey talking about Cycles for 38.6 seconds. Or we could have the stranger danger whistle. When you blow into it, it plays Silver Girl, thus making your attacker either wheep with dispair and run the other way OR fall to the ground covering his ears. Safety first people, safety first.

Wink I beg you . . .

MICK's management hand picked this guy, Todd, right?

To those that are going to tomorrow's concert, have a WONDERFUL time.
