In keeping with the high degree of integrity that we have come to expect from THOD founder, Yoder Lee addressed the Ace Smallcock issue with a level of class only he can achieve.

I, however, have no intention of treading so lightly.

It is not often that an unqualified, barely literate, very Average Joe gets a chance of a lifetime: An opportunity to shake the long-standing perception that he is nothing more than an over weight, middle aged, balding used car salesman and that he can actually add value to at least a small segment of society. Despite all of our better judgment, we offered that opportunity. It is no wonder we ended up here today.


Should we be surprised? Probably not. This is a man who slept with a blow-up doll for the better part of two years because he had no other companionship. A man who has taken the all enjoyment THOD has offered over the years, but when duty called, turned his back. A man who would take off his pants in public just to get a cheap laugh.

A man who has paid off debts with a porcelain dog statute.

Is he to blame? Probably not. It is our fault for having a little faith that someone would actually appreciate what is done for him. It is our fault that we failed to acknowledge the past; we hoped there would be a different future. Our fault for caring about someone who is so selfish.

And where is he going? Where are the greener pastures he so longs to join? A rag developed by misfits and outcasts. The National Inquirer to our New York Times. A place where stupidity, lack of participation, zero creativity, and an ongoing acceptance of mediocrity is not only the norm, but is the standard. Even the name is a way to get a cheap laugh. Guess what… it’s really not that funny.

So enjoy yourself, Ace. But as you are giving the lil peanut a lil tug while giggling at your idiotic posting that an 8th grader would find stupid, just remember the peanut wouldn’t be working if it weren’t for your friends at THOD: a TV, a DVD, and the aforementioned blow-up doll.

THOD will clearly move on. In fact, Mr. Smallcock was nothing more than an anchor anyway. Addition by subtraction. For as Alec Baldwin once stated in one of the greatest movies ever made, “You can't [write] shit, you ARE shit, hit the bricks pal and beat it 'cause you are going out!... We should have fired your fucking ass because a loser is a loser.”

Good day.
