[NEohioPAL] Anybody seeing Reefer Madness at Oberlin tonight? (And a mild Mike & Ike rant)

[Jeff Holland]

Mike & Ike are.
 
Oberlin asked them to come.  Oberlin wants them there (You hear that, Aurora?)
 
A film called Head Case has come out on DVD.  They have a quote on the cover.  On the top, in big print, over Film Threat.  (You hear that, Aurora?)
 
It has been confirmed that Mike & Ike are going to be involved in at least three other film projects (One of them pretty damn big) over the next year, including but not limited to doing commentary tracks, and writing and directing their own short horror film.
 
You hear that, Aurora?
 
Why do I keep saying that?  A couple of years ago, Mike & Ike were banned (Yes, banned) from Aurura because the people who run it's community theater "did not want to be associated" with their kind of humor.  Mike & Ike wore this as a badge of honor for they thought that, with few exceptions, most of the people they met in Aurora were egotistical douchebags.
 
But the banning was important, because sheer stupidity of it is what made Mike & Ike decide they would become nationally, if not globally known, so that someday, while being interviewed, they could talk about how several upper middle class white people in Ohio BANNED them for a song parody, that didn't even have any dirty words.
 
Without your help Aurora, none of the success that has come, and is still coming their way would have been possible.  So thank you.
 
And, from Mike & Ike, themselves:  "Suck it."
