Fitz Happens, Myspace, and Cease and Desist Orders
About a month ago, I wrote this piece about the “Fitz Happens” bus advertisements that have been seen throughout Seattle. Since many call me “Fitz”, a lot of people asked me if I knew what was up.
I wrote:
The rumor is true – I am responsible for them. I have a large personal self-promotion budget, and I have determined the most effective way to raise awareness of myself and to inform Seattle of my existence is by purchasing advertising space on the sides of bus.
Stories that the real “Fitz Happens” is a local Seattle DJ for KKWF the Wolf and is really behind the promotion are completely false and slanderous.
Apparently I caught the angry pen of Laura from the radio station. She wrote, to my Myspace account, of all places:
Hi, Joe. Really? You’re responsible for FitzHappens? Interesting because I work with Fitz from Fitz in the Morning and I can assure you that this is really about him, not you. Please keep your delusions in check and stick to reality. We appreciate your immediate compliance. Thanks, Joe! Laura Manager Fitz Projects, LLC
Really?
You have got to be kidding me. You might want to look up “sarcasm”, Laura, and perhaps chill out, just a bit. Of course I am not behind the promotion. I even linked to your website so that almost anyone could figure out the real deal.
I hope this clarifies something that I didn’t think needed clarification.
It did give me an excuse to log in to Myspace for the first time in a year though. Sweet.
