could have been fed and clothed for a year with the amount of money StickyDrama spent pwning Stickam.  But could any of those babies, even if they all worked together, paint us a picture as lulzy as this:

The local photographer we had hired to take professional shots of the pwnage emailed the above image earlier today, lightly retouched to correct for LA’s infamous smog.  The view is from a rooftop in historic MacArthur Park, a vacation resort in the 1800s and now home to crackheads and illegals.  The pilots at NationalSkyads.com were nice enough write the message 3 times, until our photographers finally got the shot we wanted.  We recommend them for engagement announcements or pwnings of your own—you never know who’ll see your message, like the suckably single Ryan who sent us another great pic take from one of LA’s freeways.

Since everyone’s dying to know, we spent a grand total of $2900 on the stunt:  $1800 for the skywriting, $1000 for the photographer and $100 to rent a rooftop in the ghetto.  According to FeedTheChildren.org, that much money would feed and clothe 24 African babies for a year, specifically Kenyan ones with horrible deformities.

OK, we felt a little guilty, so we decided to donate $60 for real.  Please click on the deformed African baby stuffing his face and go make a donation.

Oh yes, dear readers:  We took it that far.

At 3pm on the dot, all of Los Angeles came to a screeching halt, as movie stars and illegal immigrants alike stared at the sky and asked in unison, “What the hell is that?!”

The high-resolution photos taken by a professional photographer won’t be ready until Monday, but StickyDrama was present during the pwnage and took a few quick shots to post today.  We could not help but chuckle at the few hardcore yuppies who quit yapping on their bluetooth earpieces for a moment to admire our handiwork; security guards emerged from their front desks, perhaps wary of some terrorist attack; one Stickam employee sent us a txt that the message could be seen from their house; after a few minutes, at least 2 helicopters circled the Bank Tower, apparently trying to get a glimpse at what the fuck was going on.

We had the pilots do 3 rounds of skywriting, in order to get the shot right.  The message read, “U GOT PWNT BY STICKYDRAMA.COM”—forgive the vernacular, we were limited to 25 characters.  While the wind might have distorted the lettering, we did not observe any typos.  ”STICKYDRAMA” was spelled correctly; suggestions that the planes wrote “STICKYBRAMA” are inaccurate, as the below photo proves:

StickyDrama has created content for cable television, but we will admit that a production of this magnitude was a learning experience.  Our next skywriting stunt, “STICKYDRAMA <3′S ADAM PARANOIA’S P33N,” will be even better.

If you thought that the City of Los Angeles would have any safeguards in place to prevent StickyDrama from hiring a skywriting company to create cloud messages above Stickam’s headquarters—well, you thought wrong. 

That’s right, dear readers.  On New Year’s Day, at some point between 3-4pm PST, five airplanes are going to write whatever the fuck StickyDrama wants directly above the U.S. Bank Tower in downtown LA.  One might be inclined to think, after that foiled terrorist attack against the Bank Tower in 2002, a faggot would at least have to go to City Hall and apply for a permit or something.  Nope!  You just call the company and say your credit card numbers and send five airplanes flying toward the tallest building on the West Coast, and that’s all there is to it.  Apparently at an altitude of 10,000 feet, neither the local nor federal government has any jurisdiction, or doesn’t bother to regulate.  

As our readers know, if it wasn’t capped then it never happened; and so we’re capping it.  With one of those gazillion Megapixel Nikon cameras.  We could print billboards of the damn thing.  Probably will.

Owing to complexities of skywriting, guaranteeing the message will be written at a precise time is not possible.  But Los Angelenos with a good view of the downtown skyline might want to look up starting at 3pm.  The message will be twenty-five characters, stretch five miles long and last for five minutes.  If nothing has happened by 4pm, then somebody probably fucked up and StickyDrama will be so pissed that red hot laser beams of flaming semen will shoot out of our eyes and incinerate everything in our sight.

But assuming everything goes fine, StickyDrama readers are welcome to join our Post Pwntage Party at The London West Hollywood.  Send us message on AIM for details.  We would say come ask us in our chatroom, but the fucking thing keeps crashing every 2 minutes.  Sleeping employees, failing servers—crack the whip already, Kishioka!

StickyDrama, who right now is staying across the street from Stickam at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles, received the following email while scouting for Sticky House locations.  Apparently one Stickam employee is upset by the actions of his co-worker Charlotte Bullen, and has come to StickyDrama to air his grievances.  

Charlotte is a Stickam admin who, as her anonymous co-worker proves with cellphone photos taken inside the Bank Tower offices, sleeps and does homework on the job.  Her co-worker further alleges that Charlotte manipulated AVC’s Human Resources department into unfairly terminating another employee who had complained about her sleeping.  We herebelow post the email and photos sent to us, almost exactly as we received them:

Aside from minor grammatical and stylistic polishing, and the removal of Charlotte’s manager’s name, the story is directly from the mouth of a present Stickam employee.  Although we do not know this employee’s identity, we have confirmed the essential details of his story with other Stickam employees whom we know well enough.  

Given the hours of her work shift, StickyDrama suspects that Charlotte is the good-for-nothing cunt admin who was kicking StickyDrama out of our own chatroom for such petty offenses as typing out sexually suggestive text, but not streaming or linking any nudity or pornographic imagery.  

Needless to say, we hope the bitch gets fired and ends up selling churros on Figeroa.

Its time once again for another quick, serious look into whats happening around the interwebs.  BlogTV officially announced this Wednesday on their community blog that they will be paying 50% of video ad revenues to their entertainers who are approved for their ‘Ad revenue share program‘.  This cleared up the many rumors of monetary offers behind the scenes by the Israel based BlogTV admin.  Specifically the dark dealings of the big BlogTV overlord herself, Kara Hannah:

The same BlogTV overlord who whined recently about BlogTV running out of money and repeatedly denied the accusations of paying entertainers before Buckley ’spilled the beans’ about the bucks.  ‘What the Buck‘ host Michael Buckley appeared on CNN sharing his insight and smiling ear to ear about the fact he is raking in $100,000 a year from his YouTube alone.  Click to watch the CNN interview:

Interestingly, Buckley goes on CNN and the very next day BlogTV comes out with this ad revenue program.  Buckley laid the smack down on starry eyed young video makers who think they can make easy money — he explains its wasn’t easy at all.  Something only a very talented homo could do with his spare time.  In addition to his YouTube, he is making ad revenue from his BlogTV appearances; both live and recorded.  He joined BlogTV as he says: “because they made me the best offer of any of the live-streaming sites and my viewers really enjoy it over there.”

Will trends like this prompt Stickam to up-their-game, abandon their current policies and begin forming a partnership program like YouTube and now BlogTV?  Perhaps, but don’t be quick to assume.  As similar as the sites are, they are just as different.  Whereas BlogTV focuses more on single entertainers, Stickam does that and ten times more.  BlogTV has shown growth but its difficult to guess how long this trend will last, if at all.

Stickam has been busy spearheading other innovative things which could spike their growth like stickam mobile, pay per live, the just released API.  Perhaps they have more in the works to attract and compensate entertainers.  Either way, those at Stickam HQ are surely rooting for Iranin President’s plan to ‘wipe Israel off the map‘ quickly solving their BlogTV issues.  lol.

StickyDrama loves Stickam, we really do—-when it works.  But for the past week, many Stickam users trying to go Live or join a chatroom have encountered a frustrating obstacle.

Large numbers of users are unable to enter chatrooms or Lives—even as the host.  The problem has persisted since last week; StickyDrama notified Stickam employees last week, yet the problem persists.

The employees claimed to have been unaware of the issue when StickyDrama first brought it to their attention.  No official response as to the cause of the connection errors—much less a solution—but  Stickam users have offered a plausible explanation.  Supposedly, a hacker somehow affiliated with the Yellow Fever chatroom has been attacking all of Stickam’s servers—except the server on which the Yellow Fever chatroom resides.  Out of nowhere, the Yellow Fever room has been topping the Group Chat charts, while the old guard of Show-N-Tell, Singles Chat, StickyDrama and others haven’t even been able to keep their rooms up for an hour before they  crash.

Users’ Lives seem affected as well.

Whether the connection errors are purely a technical matter or an outright attack, Stickam would do well to fix the problem quickly.  Complaints such as “Stickam’s shitty servers have gotten shittier” are becoming increasingly common, and in part explain the network’s falling traffic of late.

Most times when Chris Crocker is on cam now a days its not a very pretty site.  Its been particularly hard to watch lately with him being sick — And still feeling it necessary to go on cam in this condition.  Like in livelavalive’s room the other night where there was a torrent of tissues and coughing.  Mitchell even paused to tell him to go take some medicine and get a good nights sleep.  But even when he isn’t sick, we’ve had to witness some pretty gross behavior.

He is often looking tattered like he was just given a hardcore, hometown Tennessee fuckin’.  We don’t know who was more scary on Halloween — Crocker or Bisante.  Bisante whipped out his mask and made our boner go limp for life.  We like the Halloween spirit but christ on a cracker!

Anyways.  With Crocker’s recent song release one would think he would use a bit more tact in his appearances on Stickam — image wise.  Not that Crocker’s image is about impressing people.  Sometimes it is purposefully the opposite.  But one could argue that even for Crocker, parading around Stickam looking as gross as possible is objectively a bad decision.  That is, if he was eyeing anymore of a career than something strictly online.

I followed Crocker long before his 15, and I fear that the Crocker I loved has been irrevocably destroyed.  Nothing against the new Crocker, by all accounts he is still a very kind and loving person.  Id be happy seeing Crocker do well, he represents the great moral fiber I want to see elevated in our society.  Crocker has a great show on Stickam and I love seeing him around and live — but not in such train wreck fashion.  Thats all.  Get well Chris.

This article is not intended for young, dumb, cunts… just some quick analysis based on things heard around Stickam / Stickychat.   If your not going to read it - the point of this is that 1.) Stickam is not dying.  2.) Cranky, Pussy E-celebs have no effect on stickam.  3.)  Not only isn’t it bad, but its good in that it opens the market for new talent.

So Stickam page views are down…

…and many of us have noticed the blah.  Bad economy?  School?  Stickam’s cultural transition from mere fun to utility?  Saturation of live streaming market?  Who knows.  But don’t pass judgment on this all too hastily just yet.  Stickam isn’t going on its way down.  Take a quick look back to last October - and you see there was the same dip in the views:

Considering that Stickam’s main audience is based in the US and largest demographic is youth, the fact that class is in session is likely the direct correlation.

What was most disturbing was assertions that this was all because a toolbag like Lush would leave Stickam.  Like it has had some detrimental result for Stickam.  You can be sure that has nothing to do with it.  Just like Lush’s big fail-plug of plurk etc.  No effect in reality.  So shut the fuck up Lush you cunt.  You have no sway over traffic by having a lot of friends.

In the big picture, like seen above, the live video market is filling up.  (livevideo / justin.tv / ustream / blogtv / camfrog / mogulus / Yahoo Live / Kyte.tv)  Statistically speaking, ‘Streams featured on Stickam’s home page generate more than 40,000 live views each hour of broadcast. Stickam.com has more than 2 million registered users, and receives more than 2.5 million unique monthly visitors and 4.8 million daily page views.’  Those are no small numbers.  And with the new stickam mobile (vs. qik) and pay per live, Stickam only has room for improvement.

Stickam has had steady long term growth and has proven itself to the American audience.  Justin TV has had drastic recent growth.  Just over the last 3 months its up 46%.  But there are also accusations of mass cheating as one site points out:

Not only would that push their site up, but also the fact that they have garnered more of an international audience.  But still, props to Justin.tv for not just being a fad of a fag with a cam.

On top of all this, cranky, pussified, lame-ass e-celebs seem to be systematically appearing less on Stickam.  As a result of this - obviously there is less juice to milk out of these tool bags.  I’ve been so smothered in cock I wasn’t able to give a damn, or even take a breath and notice.  The silence has been quite blissful!  In my opinion its great.

So even though these people think the world of themselves and their name emblazoned t-shirts, in reality, these e-celebs are about as expendable as a cummy condom.  This opens the market up for other talent.  Perhaps more talent to warm our hearts and harden our cocks?  The internet celebrity movement should be incredibly fast paced.  These ‘celebs’ should be flyin through this fame machine with only the truly exceptional moving on to anything further.  But just remember celebs, you arent shit.

After hearing enough crap about all of this, some of these things had to be said.  Anymore thoughts?

So anyhow, happy early Halloween! / Center For Lollatology <3

When Stickam absolutely, positively has to scare the living piss out of teenagers, they call Gary.

Gary Berzner of the E-Commerce Law Group is Stickam’s general counsel—their lawyer, to put it simply.  It was Gary who sent Mikeyy and Too Live “Cease & Desist” letters, back when the pair was terrorizing users and hacking profiles left and right.

Mr. Berzner issued yet another one of his polite threats, this time to StickyDrama’s pal Psychotic Router. At issue is Stickamsluts.com, a domain Router (as we affectionately call him) bought fair and square.  Gary demanded that Router take down the site and surrender the domain to Stickam.

For those of you unfamiliar with Router, let it suffice to say that he single-handedly compensates for all the wannabe-hacker scriptkiddie wiggers who harass girls on Stickam.  Balancing the scales in the name of faggotry, Router passes his time merrily extorting n00dz out of boys.  Since some readers have a tendency to make quick judgements, they are apt to forget his good side.  We should try to remember that he never extorted n00dz from boys younger than 12 years old, except once, and he deleted that file eventually.  (Stickam has been less understanding, and bans his profiles almost as soon as he makes them.)

Router also has a wonderful sense of humor:  After receiving Gary’s little letter, he redirected Stickamsluts.com—which heretofore was nothing but an image of Kiki Kannibal and an “under construction” sign—to Exshot.com.

Exshot.com is one of the many Adult sites owned by DTI Services. DTI is technically a separate company from AVC, which owns the Stickam trademark; however both DTI and AVC are rumored to be owned by the same Japanese billionaire.

Are the rumors true?  Does an extremely wealthy pornographer own Stickam?  The question has been explored at great length by certain writers, and StickyDrama won’t cite their exhaustive investigations here—today, anyway.  But a simple Business Search on the California Department of State’s website does yield some interesting information.  Both AVC and DTI share the same “Agent for Service of Process,” Charles Dupree.

The voodoo paperwork doesn’t stop there.  Charles Dupree is also the Agent for E-Commerce Law Group, which is located in the US Bank Tower, on the same floor as Stickam.  Gosh, what are the odds of that!  Such a  coincidence is almost as lulzy as the fact that E-Commerce Law Group, which specializes in online business, does not have a website of its own.

Whatever legal smoke and mirrors separate AVC from DTI, Router’s redirect might prove as tactically brilliant as it is insolent.  Now the Stickamsluts.com domain name no longer leads users to any product or service offered by Router and which could be confused for Stickam.   While it’s not immediately clear whether AVC has any grounds to sue Router for sending non-harmful traffic to DTI, the very idea sounds pretty silly; you might as well sue someone for giving you money.

Well Gary … now what?

Mainstream celebrity tabloid TMZ yesterday reported Danny Noriega’s extremely pissed off rant, provoked by American Idol’s decision not to invite the popular Entertainer back for its finale. But why would TMZ remove any indication that Danny had actually made his “important announcement” on our beloved Stickam?

Interesting to note that it would have been simpler for TMZ to embed the YouTube video into their post, as StickyDrama has done herebelow:

Instead the tabloid chose to remove the video portion of the recording and force readers to download an MP3 file of Danny’s audio only. The result: Any evidence that recording was made on Stickam is conveniently erased. Moreover, only YouTube is cited as the source.

Why is Stickam the much-abused stepchild of mainstream journalism? FOX, the New York Times, and now Time Warner (which ultimately owns TMZ) have all taken shots at our little online community, ignoring its entertainment and overplaying its scandals. Danny made his announcement on Stickam—why not just say so?
