Agreed. There are so many funny email logs on there. I love how they escalate.

Always thought this bloke was a one trick cockhead. Well now he's a one trick cockhead fraud.
How the world turns.

i'm surprised no one has beaten the crap out of him yet.

Beautimous.

As much as I laugh at his stuff, I'd find it funny if he was arrested and thrown in a cell for the night...
- he can't be arrested for this, though, that's the best partmonospaced

the joke is getting a little old now. not too much "genius" going on there. he needs some new material

Cat one is not as funny. Still good but very forced and fake

jesus christ some of you fuckers are miserable cunts. i mean i'm as cynical as the average miserable cunt but you guys. you guys take the fucking cake.
in my opinion the guy's fucking great. the only reason his shit gets read is via viral like this thread. (and the book he sells). and it's getting a fair amount of reading. now, it may not be your cup of tea. you might not like it. fair enough. you aint have to. but much like anal sex, i say if it's not your thing don't do it (except you ukit, i know you need the rent paid so all dues there brother). but at least be slightly aware that maybe it is ok, just not your thing. (again, a bit like ukit in general really).
now, you know what he does and yet, you try to be too cool for school and say it's getting old. maybe. maybe not, but either way you don't have to read it. especially as you're pre-educated as to the guy and his delivery. if you don't really dig his stuff yet read it anyway and then feel ripped because it still wasn't your thing then something's fucked and it's closer to home than a writer in melbourne.
also, the argument that 'he does this shit to get known / famous / whatever'. no shit. of course he would and should. it's funny and if he can make some cash outta it then more power. he's in the advertising game and this shit would make him someone people want to have in their shop. i say 'well played sir'. why, do you prefer the current 'age of celebrity' that awards no-talent, no-effort fucks like paris hilton et al who gain and keep some assemblance of fame by simply being famous?
and to anyone who thinks it might be fake. fucking lol. no shit. what, you watch entourage and wonder why there's all this hype of james cameron's 'aquaman' but it hasn't been released at your local shopping mall yet?!? it's god damned enter-fucking-tainment. and at least witty entertainment. written by a wordsmith. or wordslinger if you prefer. or simply someone good with words. whatever.
personally i think it sure beats yet anther 'creative' with a fucking blog posting inane 'design' related shite that he / she / it got off one or more of the other 'design' blogs they read.
just my 2cents. i'm probably wrong.

Used to find him funny. Then ordered his book. Never received it, had a polite email stating a small delay. Then nothing. That was a couple of months back. It seems there are many people in the same boat who have paid David Thorne money and never got the book they paid for. Dissapointing. There was even a facebook group about this but he has had that removed. Not cool.

Subject: Re: CensorshipDavid, your obvious disrespect for authority doesn't change the fact that soliciting money for the purpose of purchasing and selling drugs is a criminal offence under South Australian law. I advise you to remove the article and I will check that you have done so by 5pm tomorrow.
Yours sincerely, Michael Harding

Subject:Re: Re: CensorshipDear Michael,
Despite your assumption, I have the highest amount of respect for authority. I actually wanted to become a police officer but failed the IQ test when I arrived on time at the correct building.
While not exactly a police officer, when I was about eight I desperately wanted to be Tom Selleck from Magnum PI. I painted my Standish Selecta-12 bright red and constructed a moustache by clipping a large amount of hair from the neighbour's cat and gluing it to my upper lip. This is how I discovered my allergy to cat hair. Dragged to my neighbour's house, my apology through lips the size of bananas came out as "Imsryfrctnheroffyrcat iwntdtobemgnumpi."
