Talk:Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation

message: Hi friends, 
The Spike and Mike Company (user: spikeandmike IP: 74.62.183.91)  is repeatedly filling this page with press releases, heavy POV statements, and contact information on how to reach "us" and submit films. All of my efforts to revert these changes are being repeatedly "undone".
Their content does not even fit within Wikipedia's third-person writing policies  ("WE also premiered this film...").  Spikeandmike does not seem to understand that Wikipedia is meant to be an encyclopedia and not a place to post spam: "Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Promotional articles about yourself, your friends, your company or products, or articles created as part of a marketing or promotional campaign, will be deleted in accordance with our deletion policies. For more information, see Wikipedia:Spam."
I have warned user: spikeandmike about this twice and there has been no change in his/her behavior. I am thusly submitting this page for deletion on the grounds of spam.

message: I don’t appreciate someone removing stuff I spent a lot of time researching and writing. I have been going to the Sick and Twisted and Festival of Animation (as well as the Tournee all those years ago and The Animation Show) show for many years. I have seen artists and talked to them and all have good things to say about Spike. There are some that talk bad about Sick and Twisted or don’t even recognize what it did for them, Don Hertzfeld (catch up to him if he has a booth at San Diego Comic Con, it seems like his favorite subjest is trashing Spike and Mike and Sick and Twisted) and Mike Judge, who went on to form their own show, The Animation Show, which is good but not an event like Sick and Twisted. So it seems that they, or someone associated with them, got this “sleepyjuly” person, to write libelous things about Sick and Twisted and Spike and Mike and even have the gall to link to their Animation Show site. Then they don’t even reedit my stuff but remove it completely. Please stop that.
If any of the past artists have problems and thing to say about Spike and Mike either positive or negative, they should use should do it in person not hide behind the anonymous skirts of ‘’sleepyjuly.’’
Spike and Mike have helped many animators who are very wealthy and successful today and probably wouldn’t be if it wasn’t for Spike and Mike. I bet most of them never felt they were cheated by Spike and Mike and when Mike Judge was given a huge check from MTV for ‘Beavis and Butt-head” I don’t think I remember reading in any interview him giving Spike and Mike any kind of credit. Did Spike and Mike make the millions Mike Judge did? I don’t think so. Do you think that the reason that all those artists stated don’t add anything to the Sick and Twisted show anymore is because they don’t have too. Danny Antonucci is having great success with “Ed, Edd, and Eddy.”  Don Hertzfeldt, when he’s not taking pot shots at Spike and Mike, is having success with his Animation Show and also those great pop-tart commercials. Mike Judge, is a force is cult circles with his shows “Beavis and Butt-head”, “King of the Hill,” and his fantastic movie “Office Space” and the underrated and must see “Idiocracy.”  Bill Plympton still contributes to Sick and Twisted as well as the “Animation Show.” Every new show there is a new “Happy Tree Friends” or “Dr. Tran.” These people are still working with Spike and Mike. Every year Sick and Twisted has new and innovated animation – and animation is animation whether it is flash, pixelation, claymation, computer digital or drawing on napkins!
So if you want to put things on this article, go ahead but don’t use this as your personal soapbox to say nasty things about someone unless you have facts and can document it.  And then adding insult to injury linking to the site sight that is the quote – competition - unquote, who you are also contributing to.
