For a second I thought he died or something.

I still don't get it.

Yeah, that was the missing piece for me. I didn't know he never stopped being "Dice". I listened to the first 10 minutes of this and it seems like that's what people were claiming, but I wasn't sure that could possibly be true.

I sometimes wonder if Silverstein became genuinely bitter about the success of "Dice". He created the character to mock misogynistic egotistical racist homophobic assholes only to find many people idolized the prick. The more outrageous he became, the more people seemed to lap it up.

Same goes for Larry the Cable Guy. Larry's success didn't piss me off so much as the people who made him successful. His audience went from being people who thought Larry's ignorance & racism were objects of ridicule to the sort of people who would say, "FINALLY! Someone who thinks the way I do."

It's like if Dr. Jekyll found people liked Mr. Hyde more than they liked him, no matter how terrible Hyde was or perhaps because of it. Maybe Andrew Silverstein and Daniel Whitney decided to make their fans look as stupid & hateful as possible as revenge?

Shared a plane with him a few years ago. He was still flying first class somehow. He was wearing head-to-toe Afflicition gear and had like a twenty year-old girl with him.
