FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Las Vegas, NV (Press Release) - August 27, 2008 - The Korporation announced today the release of Deck member Flynn, also known by his suit and rank as The Five of Clubs. This release of Flynn from Korporation custody was done as a show of good faith and a willingness to negotiate to find a peaceful resolution to existing conflict between The Korporation and The Deck. Flynn's release is effective immediately, and he is expected to return to the Deck within 24 hours.

In an effort to set a tone of diplomacy and to show the general public the true nature of The Korporation, the release was authorized last night following a brief meeting of Korporation board members. The Korporation believes that it is in the best interest of its management core as well as its shareholders to show its willingness to strive for peace despite the fact that Flynn was taken into custody during a violent and unprovoked Deck raid. The Korporation also hopes that this release will help to counteract slanderous and libelous statements made by The Deck regarding The Korporation.

"Actions speak louder than words," said Korporation CEO Maxwell Profitt. "And it is imperative that we show, through our actions, that The Deck's continuous attacks against the character of our organization are hollow, and are the works of a fringe group that is desperately clinging to false ideals." Profitt also added, "We believe that over time, our actions such as this one, will not only restore the public's faith in The Korporation as a whole, but will serve as an awakening to the many who were misled by the wolves in sheep's clothing who claimed to be about love and art but actually had a much more sinister agenda."

About The Korporation:

The Korporation represents a unique blend of business and political savvy paired with an understanding of, and a genuine care for, the consumer and the needs of the consumer.

 		The question is NOW what? Do we warn just Jonah? Do we email the whole freaking deck? Do we hunt Flynn down?


BTW, we never did get Morcar and the box back. I asked tranny about it, but tranny runs hot and cold with me.

 		I'm by no means an expert, but I think the shuffle only applied to the order of cards yet to come, not to the ones already revealed...

27 is written on the five dollar bill at the end of the Jack of Diamond's website. Hrrrrm.

The 5 dollar bill itself could stand for Flynn, maybe? (Considering recent events).

I think you're getting on to something.

 		More stuff on the Maxwell-Beatles theory that sounds more and more plausible:

Quote:
"Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is my analogy for when something goes wrong out of the blue, as it so often does, as I was beginning to find out at that time in my life. I wanted something symbolic of that, so to me it was some fictitious character called Maxwell with a silver hammer. I don't know why it was silver, it just sounded better than Maxwell's hammer. It was needed for scanning. We still use that expression now when something unexpected happens."

"In the past I may have written tongue-in-cheek, like 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer', and dealt with matters of fate in a kind of comical, parody manner. It just so happens in this batch of songs I would look at these subjects and thought it was good for writing. If it's good enough to take to your psychiatrist, it's good enough to make a song of."


Quote:
The vaudevillian-style song is about medical student Maxwell Edison, who uses his silver hammer to murder his girlfriend Joan, then his teacher, and finally the judge during his murder trial.


-- from Wikipedia

Uhm .. creepy. o__O;;

I never did quite get the Jack of Diamonds. And apparently there was some sort of 'secret' site that no one found? :\ It stumped me, and I spent hours looking around on there one night.

 		I didn't think my email to infoSPLATkorporation.net went through but I just got a response to it. My email to them is at the bottom.

Jane,

There simply isn't much more to report beyond what was offered in the press release. We felt that it was in the best interest of all involved to return Flynn to the Deck. It was an altruistic move on our part and we hope the public acknowledges it as such.

Regards,
Lon Devimey

Dear Sirs, Can you give me any more information on the captivity and release of Flynn? He is a friend of mine and I haven't been able to get in touch with him. Any information you may have that could help me reach him would be greatly appreciated.Thank you,Jane
