Site Updates and Important News

Posted by Thor on April 1st, 2008 42 Comments

I wanted to let you guys know it’s been a long, tough ride. After almost nearly a year of blogging, hiding identities, fellow cVillain’s deaths, we finally threw in the towel and decided to let someone else run our business. D/R told us that this was the best thing to do and happily negotiated the deal for us.

We can’t disclose more details about the deal, but we’ve been acquired by Portico Publishing, owner of the C-Ville Weekly. We’re happy to be working with Bill, Steve and our new family. Sorry there hasn’t been much writing today, but we are busy handing over the editorial reigns to the C-Ville folks. Full updates coming later.

APRIL FOOLS! Got you guys!

    I’m confused. cVillain is now part of C-Ville Weekly? Is this a good thing?

    Consistent with our newly discovered international leanings: Totaler Quatsch!

    I’m sure it must have been very difficult trying to juggle everything. Thanks for all your hard work.

    nice one Thor, i was getting ready to fire up my indignation station when i realized what day it was…

    I’ve heard about these toys that Shenanigans uses on you Parlie. You like the ball gag don’t you, and the sweaty leathers too. Spankings? Whips? High heel boots? You’ve brought this on yourself Parlie.

    I love how companies get in on April Fool’s Day. Take Virgin and Google for example.

    @14 oh i thought that was real.

    It SHOULD be real

    Everyone gets a raise except for Kyle. Kyle, we’re letting you go effective 4/1/2007.

    Does that mean we’re getting paid too because we ARE this site ;)

    the thing about the Virgle deal is, you could totally see Branson doing that. i half-believed it too when i first saw it.

    This better be a fucking joke, and a bad one at that.

    /don’t toy with my emotions

  23. 01 Apr 2008 at 4:20 pm23ThatGrrl said:

    How much to just sell Parlie? He’s available with ball gag and leather restraints at no extra charge!

    Kidding Parlie. And I’d loosen the restraints, but the majority has spoken.

  24. 01 Apr 2008 at 4:31 pm24Thor said:

    We sold Parlie for a pack of discount cigarettes and a slim jim.

    We sold cocoNUT to some hung over stripper.

    We sold Kyle for a gourmet piece of bacon.

    So I am out on vacation for a couple weeks to read this!? Did someone casually forget to send me a memo? BTW…do we have a pic of the hung over stripper who nows owns me? Any chance cvillain will buy me back….please?

  26. 01 Apr 2008 at 4:37 pm26Thor said:

    No, go back to your stripper!

  27. 01 Apr 2008 at 4:41 pm27ThatGrrl said:

    What happened to the gourmet bacon you’ve acquired? Should Max be worried that you’ll trade him next?

  28. 01 Apr 2008 at 4:46 pm28Yupster said:

    You guys are good.

  29. 01 Apr 2008 at 4:47 pm29Yupster said:

    VERY good.

    I know things about Thor, if anything happens to me, a secret courier will take all the damming evidence to the Hook. The scowly recount is just the tip of the iceberg that is spicy bear media. ;)

    oh, and just btw/fyi/lol: parlie is not for sale. wtf.

    nifoc.

    Editorial reigns?You’re flattering yourselves (or would be, at least).

  33. 01 Apr 2008 at 5:26 pm33Thor said:

    You are right Lurker31, we are a race of troglodytes that live on the internet. We eat bits for breakfast and drink booze the other 23 hours of the day.

    We throw darts at a board of words to create our posts, but someone’s gotta hold up the dart board right?!
