		<description>lol wow!&lt;br/&gt;I have worked at FatKat for over a year now and I love it. I have had my rough times here working my ass off, but I think it is worth it.&lt;br/&gt;I have never had a problem with Gene, I like my Fatkat family enough to buy a house here. Yeah with the money I make here(so if your totally broke try looking at your spending budget!!) I used to save up enough money to move where ever my next job would take me, worried about how long the next contract would last and if my boyfriend and I would get a job in the same city. No worries now, I know I have a job to go to and a paycheck comming (some studio&#039;s around here don&#039;t even have that comfort) I have made complaints to Gene when I felt I needed to and he NEVER, ever threated my job!! (the list ppl he ever fired or laid off is very short)He listened to my problems and did, what I feel, was his best to help me out.&lt;br/&gt;All families have their fights, but I don&#039;t think this is the place for it, you can at any time voice your concerns to Gene without worry of your jobs, I have and I am still here.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Happy little FaTKaT,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Heather</description>

		<description>This one time, I saw Gene Fowler eat a baby, while it was still alive! Then he wiped the blood and remains from his chin with thousand dollar bills!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;...I can only assume that he stole those thousand dollar bills from grandmothers and kittens, not particularly in that order.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But the Space Knights do kind of suck... hehehe, sorry guys. Then again, what the hell do I know, I just draw pictures for a living.</description>

		<description>Wow.&lt;br/&gt;I had spent some time writing up this big reply to all of this and then I realized how pointless that would be.&lt;br/&gt;Space Knights is funny and I could care less if it was done in clay or flash. It&#039;s going to be fun to work on.&lt;br/&gt;As far as the rest of this pointless banter( I don&#039;t know what else to call it) good on you all for reminding me how little different we all are from the kids on the grade six playground.</description>

		<description>Krazy stuff!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I must say Willy Ashworth, Jared, and Dermont raised the best points about the industry in general and about a career in animation in general.&lt;br/&gt;For those of you that have been in the industry for under 24 months; I say read those comments a couple times, and follow that direction, the rest will take care of itself, and you&#039;ll be fine no matter where you are.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Can someone start a blog like the one suggested? It doesn&#039;t have to be all negative, just re-counting stories. It might be considered cruel and cowardly by some, but probably theraputic to the artists regaling stories of yesteryear about the crazy deadlines, impossible projects, and insane productions they had to do. It could be interesting, Dermont&#039;s tales alone about Bluth/Disney and all that are nuts but unsurprising.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Let me know when that blog is up, any suggestions for titles?  : )</description>

		<description>Ah puppies... the same old anonymous yipping.&lt;br/&gt;&quot;I&#039;m anonymous cuz I don&#039;t wanna lose my job.&quot; What a load of shit.&lt;br/&gt;A lame-ass statement of that ilk begs the question.... If you are so terrified of your all powerful overlord boss, that you are afraid of losing your job for voicing your opinion, then why are you still in the employ of such a monster? (Incidentally, it&#039;s been my experience that Fatkat is a very open studio that actively encourages dialogue between all levels of  employees. There are regular staff meetings where everyone is asked to air any grievances/concerns/ideas, etc.)&lt;br/&gt;Surely your delicate sensibilities, and great moral outrage should have  manifested itself in a move to a kinder, gentler studio, where everyone agrees with you and no one dismisses your vapid ideas.&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;ve got the feeling that most/all of the bravely anonymous comments stem from a very shallow work experience pool.&lt;br/&gt;Try workin&#039; in the biz for more than five minutes THEN you&#039;ll maybe have somethin&#039; worth runnin&#039; yer mouth about.&lt;br/&gt;In the meantime, Anonymous, take solace in the cooling shade cast by your giant, computer generated balls. But don&#039;t get too complacent, sooner or later whingeing little shites like you are forced out from behind their mother&#039;s sheltering aprons, into the blazing heat of the real world and shrivel up like the lame dicks they are.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;That being said...&lt;br/&gt;Anonymous = COWARD. Plain and simple.&lt;br/&gt;For as a wise man once said... &quot; Fuck you! Chickenshit!&quot;</description>

		<description>Very dissapointing arguements. I was hoping there would be posts on here about Space Knights, I am sadly dissapointed.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I haven&#039;t been around the block in the industry, but I know what I like. And I like the home I&#039;ve made at this studio. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The long hour arguement can be made about any studio. I&#039;ve worked longer hours at the last studio I worked at, and I left before alot of people there did every night.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Gene&#039;s a crook? That one seems to be fishing for support to random claim. If he ever is charged, I may dignify that comment with a response.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I remember the months i&#039;ve spent sitting in my apartment on the phone to every studio within city limits hunting for a job, when they all ran out of work and laid everyone off. When they lost projects, or ran out of money on a project. Fact is I don&#039;t worry about those anymore, and that&#039;s thanks to Gene and the team he has in place.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It seems alot of the posters wishing to remain nameless have personal problems with Gene and his Studio, which is fine. But personal opinions don&#039;t define facts. Are the hours here long? Depends on what the studio you&#039;re currently working at&#039;s hours are, and the work you are responsible for. Is the pay unfiar? Depends on what the studio you&#039;re currently working at&#039;s pay is, and the work you are responsible for.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;No matter where you go somthing will piss you off about the place you left obviously, as we can all see from above. In all honesty I&#039;m sure every poster here could say somthing they dislike about another studio they&#039;ve worked at, it&#039;s a fact of life.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And as for the anonymous posters, it is cowardly to leave you name out of it, if you&#039;re going to make a personal attack against someone. You don&#039;t seem to have a problem typing G-E-N-E, and calling him out on a post. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;ll tell you all how I feel about it: Sad for you, I think it&#039;s called pitty. You obviously didn&#039;t stand up at FatKat when you had a chance, so now you fire away at a distance, the big bad Gene might get you ... sad really.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And as for in house guys posting on this site, I doubt it. Probably someone who did work here, didn&#039;t get their way, then left, and claims they still work here to make the studio fit the above stories. For all we know &#039;anonymous&#039; could be the same person every time. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Oh but if we leave our names out of it the studios we&#039;re working at currently won&#039;t get mad at us....  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;cow·ard (kou&#039;ərd) &lt;br/&gt;n.&lt;br/&gt;One who shows fear in the face of danger or pain.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;If the shoe fits, you know where to put it.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;And if you have a problem with my views, stop by and say hello.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Ryan Keizer (not a regular blogger)</description>
