New Theme

a poor managerial decision



Well, for those of us who were around when Doomsday was still Spark it's not. Basically, on the last few days before Doomsday became the hub Ben had the bazaar idea to give the clusters their own theme songs. Spark got "Dancing in the Dark" as it's theme song which caused a huge outcry. Many members suggested more purposeful alternatives including the awesome "Disco Inferno". Now the idea fell flat on it's face when they liquidated the clusters to make Doomsday self managing. Then of course there were too many for every one to have their own theme song and so Dooms got the Terminator theme, Spark still had "Dancing in the Dark", The Soft Play area flipped between many cute Japanese kid show songs, girly pop songs and classic love songs before just giving up and having sound effects and the Monster Board got Mon's favorite song "Bitch", which it still uses in some places of the site. Dooms' since got it's own custom ambiance, which is by the way pretty awesome and the members of Spark were stuck with THE FUCKING "DANCING IN THE DARK". Anywho, since then Spark did a montage of "We Didn't Start the Fire" that was reworded to represent the history of Spark after it's corporate death. As we were not allowed to change the theme song, we instead put the movie on the front page so anyone who visited could watch it. BTW, the background music turns off when you play a video for those none Doomsday members reading this. So "We Didn't Start the Fire" kinda became Spark's unofficial theme song. The vid was a success, such a success in fact that FUCKING BEN now has the original song as THE FUCKING DOOMSDAY THEME SONG. I mean, it doesn't have the same irony that a site called spark has a song about starting fires. And this is why I come up with a suggestion that Ben is gonna think real hard over. Spark should take its rightful place as the hub of the empire and Doomsday as a sub. Otherwise Doomsday just becomes one big corporate name and the soul of the empire will be lost. If there's one thing this legendary quest has taught me it's that we are the empire and no amount of members and fancy social network can change our individuality. Ben knows that we are the ones who keep Dooms what it is. And if he doesn't get off his high horse and admit his abnormality we'll leave and spawn a new empire, just like we did before. The cards are on the table Ben. Surrender or die.
