I don't particularly understand why he would care if he gets hate mail or not.
Actually, scratch that. Hate mail means he's achieving his goal, ergo making more money.
Clearly, this is trickery. Trickery, I say.
Hope it's trickery, but he did almost shut down once before due to a more-credible-than-usual threat of violence. I'll have to get my "May the Horse Be With You" shirt framed in an oxygen-free case with uv-blocking glass.

Yeah, but for someone explicitly trying to push the limits of good taste? Isn't offending people the whole point?
Agreed. And most the time the people that are offended are the outraged people who always like to be outraged about something.
