February 24, 2011LEGAL UPDATE
Apparently corporate big wigs don’t like you using footage from inside their privileged marble-laden fortresses. We kinda jumped the gun on the video journal posted yesterday and were ordered by GE, Comcast, Homeland Security, Warren Buffet and Time Warner to TAKE THE VIDEO DOWN! I guess Blitzen Trapper is as dangerous as WikiLeaks. Booyah!
We are truly sorry to all those that had trouble viewing. We’re working on getting proper clearance and hope to have the video back up soon - cuz it’s damn funny! Stay tuned…
