That line cracked me up - I think it hinted at something like contempt for us.

Nothing like sounding like an idiot on national radio.

Yeah I have no idea where she got that from. I've never been involved in Basement-Con...never got my invite

...and yeah that's me on there. I gave it a listen and laughed pretty hard when she called me Kevin/Suberunker. The previous clip with me was at least not as embarrassing >_>

Lol, I also like how she makes it sound like AMV editing is a total sausage fest.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. Unfortunately, at Otakon we didn't have a lot that countered that since both competitors were male as were the three judges; had the interview/report been done at either ACen or AWA we would have had at least one female competitor. While it's definitely not accurate- I can see how you could get that impression from gathering most of your material/experience at that one event...

You know, it really doesn't help much where the IE mascot (Render-chan) is depicted in such a way that the hobby is seen as a "Boys Club" sort of niche...

Come September our apartment will have 5 editors living under one roof. 3 of the 5 will be female :O

Though yes. It is, on a whole, a sausage fest.
