BLATANT ATTEMPT TO INCITE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN WEBSITE FAILS

In an apparent attempt to pre-empt a possible drop-off in postings when he leaves for France on March 3, Future Star of Hollywood, Peter Alton, resorted to a flurry of guilt inducing comments earlier this morning. "The writing is on the wall." Says a bleary-eyed Alton, "I mean the site. Or it's not on the site. Yeah, that's what I mean. The writing is not on the site except by me." He may have a point. There have been very few postings by other Future Stars. In its infancy, the premiere site for the newest and hottest talent in Hollywood, has seen an 89% posting rate by Alton. That works out to 17 out of 19 posts or roughly 89 out of 100.

But other members refuse to be cajoled into what they consider "filler posts". Future Star, Joe Fria believes the pressure to post too often is unrealistic. "It's just not fair to think that the site has to be updated once to twice daily. And I'm not only on my space at myspace. I'm at other people's spaces mostly and usually they're pretty hot AND younger, so you know." Fria later related that when FSHA has as many hits as his myspace page he will gladly make more time for the site.

What will be considered by some to be a racist comment, was the insinuation that Future Star, Mami Arizono, is lazy because she is Chinese. Tony Li, of the Chinese Peoples Republic of Anti-Defamtion League warns of reprecussions. "Let's just say that we're watching them (FSHA). What if they find themselves out of luck when they order take-out? Or they might get the real Chinese kind of fortune cookie. When you know when you going to die its as good as living with death sentence." Miss Arizono, from the Sinkang province was unable to be reached because she is back in China working on the Yang-Tze dam.

Future Star, Ben Simonetti, cited a hectic schedule of checking email and texting on his new phone. "I'm swamped. No, really I'm in the weeds. All I have time to say is this: Pete shouldn't be posting at that time of night. A six pack and a little sour grapes can go a long way to hurting our very important brand which I will nurture with careful consideration and masterful vision. If everything goes right the fertile seeds I'm sowing in my mind will make a real-world difference in about 7-12 years. Mr. Alton I'm not taking the bait, I am not going to post unless there is something that really needs posting."

Stepping back a bit Mr. Alton offered a little understanding. "Well, if you look at my bio, I guess I am doing more than anyone else." and then looking out the window at his street, "It was like this in college when I won that Student Emmy."

Graham Jackson takes a more pragmatic view, "They just need to work out their shit, because mine is just fine."
