| Police
have already found five Mike's Gifts online
since the murder. A store in the Midwest,
a page for some kid's birthday party and three
fan sites on the Mike's Gifts tied to the
revenge service. |
| Where
has everyone been? My boss has been using
Mike's Gifts for five years. At least as long
as I've been here. It's the ultimate way to
mess with someone's head. Especially the competition. |
| Mike
was the one who hired the Nicole Brown Simpson
look-alike who played the golf courses behind
O.J. for a month. |
| I
heard Mike got all the TVs on John Rocker's
road trips to play The Twilight Zone movie,
the part where Vic Morrow's a racist and suddenly
everything's switched around… |
| TalkSix
has put in calls to Ted, Rupert, Barry, David,
Jeffrey. Their assistants offer condolences
but no one will speak on the record. |
| I've
been ordered to step up security 24-7 for
my employer who's worked on movies like Hannibal
and American Psycho. |
| The
first site (which is down since the murder)
had page after page on the gifts sent by the
service, to Linda Tripp, to the Menendez Bros,
to Pinochet and Imelda Marcos. |
| Mike
was responsible for the TelePrompter incident
on the news. Grant Trotter recited his own
slanted rhetoric live on the air without realizing
what he was reading until it was too late:
"the mutant scum of the city… this
cesspool of alien DNA from crackhead daddies
and unwed mothers…" Everyone knew
the guy was a cracker behind-the-scenes, but
Mike got him fired." |
| The
first gift from Mike's on record anywhere
was in 1989. Mike ran an ad in the paper telling
people to bring all their dead Christmas trees
to Joe Freed's house. He was the guy who told
everyone at IMT that 'Christmas was no day
at the beach;' he made all his employees work
holidays because he did. 3500 dead trees ended
up piled on the guy's lawn. Still… a
big leap between that and murder. |
| There's
rumors that MIKE is an acronym, that it stands
for a coalition of some kind. After all, the
guy's dad, Dr. Reece Ealing, is the head of
NOBLE (National Organization for Better Literature
and Entertainment) and Doc and Eddie didn't
exactly see eye-to-eye. |
| My
boss is freaked by the murder. He's only half
as bad as Ealing was to work for. He's already
apologized to everyone on our staff for 'accidentally'
throwing paperweights and telephones when
he's stressed. |
| We've
dialed way down on the graphic violence at
my station since Ealing's homicide. My ND
won't admit it, but he's scared shitless.
He's a narcissist who always loved showing
violence on the air because it meant ratings
= his bonus. |
| At
least one other exec got an e-mail gift from
Mike's - I was his assistant from 95-98 and
I saw it with my own eyes. It had different
items inside than the ones that were sent
to Eddie Ealing. My boss' gift had images
of a judge I didn't recognize and a map of
the desert. Looked pretty harmless to me,
but the message sent my boss into a drug binge
and rehab. |
| News
outlets have put in calls to a bunch of other
media titans who've had dealings with Eddie
Ealing in recent years. No one wants to speak
on the record, as to whether they've received
similar messages from Mike's Gifts in their
e-mails. I got a call today. My boss wouldn't
talk. He moved his vacation up. To today. |
