The Screen Savers Is Being Screwed Up
(Warning this is about a show on G4Techtv, if you dont know about it you may want to skip this post)

Oops, I mean The Screen Savers is being "revamped" (ha ha sure). In turn with the revamping Alex Albrecht, Dan "Foo" Huard, Yoshi and many behind the scenes people were fired. The new "revamped" show will air after thanksgiving break (hmm, we will see). Here are some snippets from a few of people on TSS:

Kevin Rose: I know you all have tons of questions, and I don’t know much at this point. I’ve been told there are going to be more darktips, and that the show will still have a tech focus. Read his full post here

Sarah Lane: We're busy regrouping, reorganizing, and relaunching, folks. Today we lost some great, great people in the latest phase of our ongoing evolution. This is the reality of the biz, and it never gets any easier. Read her full post here

Alex Albrecht: The Screen Savers as you know it is GONE! We were rounded up today at 11am and told to be out of the office at 3pm... very smooth... Read his full post here

Yoshi: I will post more on it later, when I am in a calmer state.
But yes I have been fired. (that was pretty much all he posted)

that is about it, rumors have it that TSS could be merged with another G4techtv show. I guess will we all wait and see (Bullshit).

To everyone who was fired I have no doubt you will find better work, where the bosses respect you. Thanks for everything.

You know what, this shit is all f$#@ up. I cant believe the network would do this to all of them. Its true we watch that show because of the tech; but we all stay on the show watching everyday at 7pm because the people and the different personalitys they all bring to the table. I agree the show did lose some of its flare when Patrick left, or when leo left but you know what? Those where natural changes to the to the show, they all had other things going on, and welcomed kevin and all the new guys because they where talking about new thing that only young kid can bring to the show. But this makes me really not want to see the end product of the show(even though i will have to see it). Who Knows maybe it will be better than the original. I hope the show will continue to grow and progress,I really do. leo and pat worked to hard to keep that show going.

ON A LIGHTER NOTE:
I just want to say thank you to all that have worked on the screen savers, through out all the years to keep the tech world growing at a crazy rate. THey mad me love tech by just watching the show and the people on it. I know everybody out there wants to say it, or is to embarassed to say it but i will. I really love that show(sound really freakin stupid i know). Im embarrassed now. Really thanx so much for all the tech you have given us for the past 6(?) years.
Shout out
Sorry martin sargent
