Fuck Yomega.
Aug 8th, 2007 by $eth
So, if you haven’t read the web boards lately… take a minute or 2 to read this post by Steve Brown.
Now, take another minute to read good ol’ Alan Amoral’s (president and CEO of Yomega) response to what happened at Worlds.
Also check out the comments on Schalicto’s yoyo2 Worlds post.
Now, heres what I think…
First, who the hell does Alan think he is talking down to his customers like that? Granted the yo-yo community makes up a small segment of their total sales, but they are obviously making yo-yos geared to us (Crossfire, Lancer, Blazer and Hotspot*). As we all know, of the yo-yos listed, the ones that have actually been released were garbage. Maybe Alan is taking his aggression out on us because were to picky about the shit he’s been putting out?
Second, get some damn tack to go with your fancy words you prick (look it up HERE). If you find so many problems with the current World Yo-Yo Contest, why didn’t you try to do more with your “World” contest? Always having in Las Vegas? Giving up on it after a few years? Greg might not have all the right ideas, but at least he’s got the balls to stick to his guns. You want to try and change the system Mr. Yomega? Help! Don’t hurt whats going on.
Third, Who do you think you are calling people that agree with Steve, “Steve Brown-nosers”? That was MY IDEA!
SO Alan, and Yomega associates, please feel free to leave any comments you’d like here on the blog. And if you have anything else official to say, I’d be happy to post it here for all these knuckle-dragging neanderthals to read. I know this might not be the classiest response to you guys, but I’m just stooping to your level;)
O and one more thing, Get BENT (look it up)
* I know it’s the Hotshot, but Hotspot is such a better name!
Truth be known, Seth is right.
You are right, Steve too. Will be better if yomega starts to make better yoyo and better politics with yoyo world relations.
Sorry for my English!
word
Just a little something I cooked up in honor of this occasion. Click the url.
OOPS. Click on my name.
I like fireworks… so pretty.
Where is the 720 or similar when you need it.
There is definately a marketing opportunity for a looper with the goods.
I am sorry to say it but RIP Yomega

I really like the blog title…short and to the point. ;D
I’ve never liked Yomega and it is kind of nice to hear the voice of the president behind it and it makes sense. I never understood the company how they can come out with so many models and none of them work. They give me the heeby geebeys!
Alan made another reply that got buried on the second page, and he seems to have gone even further off the deep end…

Creepy.
[…] READ THIS first… if you need any more convincing NOT to buy this yo-yo, read on… […]
I liked that they named the yoyo after a stylish jacket……..whats that? It’s just another crappy yomega yoyo with some crappy generic “cool” name…well then I guess I don’t like it at all.
wow alan u suck ass i will never even touch a yomega!!
[…] you dont remember back a year and 1/2 ago let me refresh your memory. Since then a few things have happened with Yomega: They tried to release an Aluminum yo-yo called […]
Quote from Alan ” http://www.yoyoing.com/news/viewpost.php?post=278253 ” “I have been using Yomega Yo-Yos since the day I started yoyoing, and Yomega training videos started me on the road to where I am today-and I would not be yoyoing if it were not for your company”.
