Why is Owen writing for the main page?

He's a retard.

I've made peace with these boards turning to shit, but shouldn't there still be standards for the main page?

He's blogging for the main page.

Right?

EDIT:
I just saw the article on the main page. Hmm.

So how do we apply for blogs? I mean, if Owen can, I sure as hell would like to.

Anyone can blog. It's an article. An article about Charles Durning. Everyone loves Charles Durning.

DEAR CHUD:

Hi. I don't want to have to start checking the bylines of your articles before clicking them. Please maintain something resembling a baseline of quality. That would be pretty super.

Thanks much.

But only contributors get front page blogs, and that seems like the only thing Owen has ever done.

Plus the fact the guy is an idiot.

I'm gonna wear this picture out, with all the message board drama of late.

It's on me. I like Owen. Met him in person. Think he'll be good for the site. Just like I felt about Slater and Flyarz before. Blame me. I'm not changing my mind.

All of your concerns about Owen and the quality of the boards/Main Page were addressed in extensive threads from late October to early January.

Well, yeah, it's obviously your call. It's just a dumb one.

And kind of a slap in the face to Devin and Jeremy and Russ.

A ringing endorsement if ever I heard one!

I don't really mind Owen on the Main Page.

Yeah, how could the world ever rest easy without constant updates on Charles Durning's upcoming slate.

I don't really have a dog in this fight but that comment was almost the killing joke.

I believe there's someone around here who would be happy to write a couple of hundred words about the unfuckability of Thora Birch.

Really? Updates seem constant enough to successfully keep me from doing my job most of the time.

Something CHUD doesn't need: Filler.

Well, i for one congratulate Owen.
But please, no more updates on Charles Durning's upcoming slate.

I remember not long ago there was a clash between the CHUD writers and the boards regarding the posting of excessive news ahead of time. I think we all agreed that the filter and time the guys put into it help us get important and relevant news and not articles on Charles Durning's upcoming slate.

So, please take a note from Devin, Alex, Jeremy, Nick and specially Russ when submitting the articles.

I certainly don't like the anti-Charles Durning sentiment taking root here.

I'm thinking twice now about submitting that David Huddleston news.

Slater, surely the joy of living in a free and open society means if you see Owens name at the top of an article or blog, you can simply choose not to read it?

Boring anecdote time:

During my time writing DVD reviews for the site, I got really frustrated by the fact that I was putting in a ton of hard work and effort and a few of my fellow reviewers, to put it kindly, weren't. It's like living with a bunch of shitty, obnoxious roommates: no matter how hard you try, sooner or later motherfuckers are gonna stop showing up at your parties. Guilty by association, you know?

And I know how hard Devin and Jeremy and Dre and the rest of those guys work to provide content that's entertaining and informative...which, as Owen has proved, is really, really hard to do.

And I also know that if I were in their shoes, being lumped in with a retard like Owen would piss me off. Maybe even make me wonder why I'm wasting my time writing for a site that's apparently more interested in quantity than quality.

So no, I don't particularly give a fuck that our dull little crayon is getting his moment in the sun. But if the addition of an Owen means the subtraction of a Devin or a Jeremy--if there's even a chance of that happening--is Owen really worth the hassle in the first place?

(Hint: No, he's not.)

(Hint: Because he's a retard.)

You're right. That was boring.

God forbid Owens' plebe efforts keep the world from another gem like "Quantum of Suckass".

I was going to comment, but you find viscious personal attacks "boring," I have nothing of interest to add.

Can everyone at least give Owen a chance? I don't know the guy from the boards that well but come on, he's not here to replace anyone.

The fact that this is a thread and not a personal email tells me all I need to know.
