this guy just did a cover story all about me, Marissa. Marissa marchant used to be my name.This guy didn't interview me and got his info from the net gossip. is this great journalism?
how did he know it was true?
and why did he believe that I was a singer songwriter only,???Where did he gather his info?
why did he imply I was just another unsigned act as common as a pigeon?if he hear me or know someone who heard me, why did he write an article about me?
It didn't promote my talent.
It was all about how people are publically ridiculing me..this was on the cover of the San Fransico Weekly..where this guy gathered gossip on the net...
If you are going to write about someone, you should write about their talents.
Not about price tags.

this is the story. it made the cover story on the front of the San Fransico Weekly...It is about me.
I find it offensive.It is not about my talent, it is about how people don't like me.

I like how she claims the article is all about her. That's several times more egocentric than any of the spurned lovers -- I mean, musical collaborators -- that she rants about.

- I never posted to your corkboard, Marissa, and I don't have your phone number.
- I used the anecdote about the $1,000 album to explore the idea of album pricing, for a short piece that was aimed to SF Weekly's "Department of WTF?!?" - I had no idea it was going to be a cover story. My editor positioned it as a story timed to the announcement that iTunes would be ending their flat 99 cent price for downloads.
- I didn't interview Marissa because ... well, read this thread and the last one. But also, it's not a story "about Marissa Marchant," it uses a crazy story about an artist formerly named Marissa Marchant to explore another idea.
- It was not intended to insult Marissa. It's generally favorable, as her dad said, and all publicity is good publicity. I would imagine anyone who read the article would be extremely curious to hear her music, if any of it were still available online.
- I don't know why the SF Weekly people chose "a man" for their $1,000 album and "a woman" for the 99 cent album. I don't think it was meant to be a sexist gesture, but I can't speak for them.
- I don't look like Conor Oberst.

There is such a thing as Gang Bang ..cyber-stalking..which the media people who run Google and other things like wikipedia..decided if they think you are a Kook..someone who steps out of line and doesn't believe in their propaganda machine..they send many of their workers after you on the net to defame you.
Read that article clearly...the article about wikipedia...is exactly what is going on on the net...censorship...If they feel that someone is not following them...and suddenly making their own prices for Cds and the person has talent, they will sick their Cyber-Stalkers on you.
I don't think you could tell the truth. I have many people named Chris..who signed into my corkboard a month ago...or a few weeks ago...
You wouldn't be able to interview me...because you don't want to find out the truth about people...
do you know how many people deserve more then the Beatles????
Alot that are unsigned..or signed on their own lables that you have never heard of...or signed on some very obscure indie label..you have never heard of.
I have two Beatle records and I thought their music was not that interesting.
..and their singing not that passionate or beautiful..they aren't bad...
they aren't worth what they are getting.
the media has a become a brainwashing machine.
all publicity is not good.
and see now you say that my dad is right and that he is a man and knows best...
My father makes mistakes...
― marchant.........., Monday, 26 December 2005 03:22 (twenty years ago)
they don't sign very gifted women.
hardly ever.
and hardly any.
Why can't men admit that are part of the KKK mentality of sexist bigots who oppress insult and abuse???
― marchant.........., Monday, 26 December 2005 03:24 (twenty years ago)
You don't want people to know you are part of the Klan?
and you probably all ready to get married to each other at SF because men are making more money then women, and it might be better for all your men to marry each other for financial security.
since money is men's god...the focus is on price...
money....
and more men are gay then women....
MONEY>...it isn't sex...they are attracted money and power...and that is why so many more men are gay then women.
they like money and it is soooo sexy to them.

and alot more men are gay then women.
Men are obsessed with money and power.
women have less.Men are turning away from marrying women.using them for sex and leaving them with kids.
More and more men see the way out....Marrying men...Men are so obsessed with money and power and success...and they becoming increasing depraved...and wicked...and obsessed with their own bodies and their own sex...
they are pushing for gay marriages to leave more and more women..out of everything.It is already an insult to say women are the best in music or science..but it is the ultimate insult to say that women are the best marriage partner.
all I see in the media is constant insults of women.
It is a tremendous insult to say that a woman is not worth marrying...not worth hiring, not worth paying equal pay....and not as sexy either.
Alot of men who are gay secretly hate women.
They are not minorities...Gays hate minorities...they make women into minorities.
Alot of gay women hate men...alot of gay men hate women!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not gay.

Men have insulted women on every level in this country. Hilary Clinton addressed a Trafficing problem...people are selling women as slaves here in the USA while they are talking about the importance of Gays marrying...
They gave attention to gay men... not gay women...and passed the laws..so men can have it all...
No responsibilities...Just having an option to marry men who make more money then women.
Men have insulted women on every level..saying they are not as sexy...not as smart...not as talented...not as worthy....
and now they are not worth marrying...
ARen't men like God????
Isn't God the Father????
I don't think so.

I noticed that most of them are apathetic about the opposite sex.
Gay men are not fighting for women's rights...they don't think much of women....
they think women are great composers, great writers...great musicians..or painters...and they don't think they are good in bed.
..or great lovers...
I knew some lesbians..openly telling me how much she hates men...
how she glorifies women's bodies...this is what men are secretly telling each other...
In secret..they talk about hating women....
but keep a secret...
gay men act very phony with women...
I once had to call the police on a gay man..
I don't agree that gays are stable people.
I don't hate them..but I had a landlord who was also gay and very abusive...I have known many gays who treat women like crap...
and lesbians who are filled with hatred.Gays are not the nicest people that i have met.
I have met many ...and known many.
I have trouble with men, but to insult men on every level...I can't do that.
I know men are very talented at times..loving...worthy and sexy and worth marrying...but very few...
Gays are often filled with secret hatred.
that is why I am opposed to this...
Bigotry....they are biased...they think their own sex is wonderful..
to the extreme...
they are NOT born that way....
They are often perverted...obscene...
It is not beautiful...gay marriage is NOT beautiful...I can see loving the same sex....
but to marry...and have sex with the same sex....
why not marry for friendship and NO sex...
???I can't understand why men would want to sleep with men...It is depraved.

It isn't about sex....It is about glorifying ones body, bigotry...and self glorification...and idolizing ones sex...especially men ....
It is about men's respect for other men...and disrespect for women..that is why MORE Men are gay then women.
Gay men think it is much more financially benefical to be with men.
Men are soo into money ..they find other men sexy because of money and status...when men feel that women have low status...
they are not turned on....
Men are status conscience.Men are money driven.
Men see other men as sexier, because status and money is sexy...
Men are mostly driven by money and status...NOT by penises...
they get turned on by whoever has money, power and status. Men are increasely becoming users...players...and leaving women with children...More men are becoming gay....not because of sex, but because of status.
― marchant......, Monday, 26 December 2005 05:38 (twenty years ago)
I also had a boss who was gay...very gay and he suggested that I dance on a table...
and then fired me from my job because I had a concussion ...I was in a car accident..and I had an injury....and he said that I was braindamaged and couldn't come to work...
this faggot was so mean, cruel...he was a horrible man..
It is a myth that gay men are nice.
I knew a nice gay guy in NYC...but he was apathetic..and phony...not mean...but apathetic.
Gay men have been some of the most cruel people I have ever met...I have met more then one gay man who was cruel....
and these men are receiving attention...people are giving them pity.
I also called the police on a gay guy...he was calling me with extremely obscene messages...
He was gay...

there are alot men walking around, secretly wearing white sheets.
they are part of the obvious KKK of woman haters.
It has always been that way. Men feel that women should never have power, but in Norway it is better.
the men in San Fransico they are not enlightened.they have alot of money...In new york city alot of gays reside there also...and there is also alot of money there as well..
Gays have a tendancy towards materialism and hedonism.That is why more men are gay then women. They see the money and status as highly attractive..and they are very hot for men...
Alot of wealthy men live in San Fransico..and they love each other.
they think they are smarter, wisers...more knownledgable..have more status..and they think they are more sexy...then women.
they hide their white sheets....
they try to....but I have seen beneathe the sheets.David Bowie realized there was value in women...that they were beautiful....He realized that he was never gay.
so if gays were born that way, why did Bowie say that his gay life was a mistake???Bowie is a millionaire, so he really does not need the income...
so he married a beauty..and hopefully a nice, smart girl...
