   Your Post…
   - - - - - -

   I find some of your answers disappointing. Some of them were just “Yes” or “No” in one word or two. Maybe next time, more of an explanation?

   Also, if the real reason you started this website was to “destroy” Chris’ show, what will happen to the millions of people who like to watch it everyday, and are maybe against your website? Sure, his reply to you might have been a bit mean, but he cuts down EVERYBODY. What about that Moobs guy from England? He was shown in a picture, and you haven’t heard anything from him. When you email somebody your pictures, they are still your pictures and they cannot call them their own, but you have just given them permission to use them however they like. Just something to think about…

   Hi Kandice, i know this might be redundant, please forgive me if it is.

   But why is it ok for you to send in emails as a joke, but not alright for Chris to respond in a joking manner. I watched the episode, and found that he was just being satirical.

   And As for his cult comments, they too seemed to be satirical. You have answered many questions. But the one that hasn’t been answered is why can you not see the humor? Have you spoken with Mr. Leavins since these events unfolded? perhaps a little communication could go along way?

   Thank you

   Hey lah dee dah

   I found myself confused by your response.. i think you have a point, but could you clarify it a bit please. You made a good point about the nature of Mr. Leavins show; anyone who has watched it realizes it’s good natured humor with a comical bite to it. But your last 2 sentences lack cohesion.

   Thank you

   lah dee dah: You’re right, he does make fun of a lot of people. That’s the point. I don’t think people realize they are going to be made fun of when they send in their pictures. Chris gains cult members every time he sacrifices one. I’m sure his cult following grew after making fun of me.

   Robin: Being satirical is fine. That’s what I was doing at first… but he takes it past the point of being funny. He takes it to a point where my e-mail and networking accounts get hacked (before I even started this site). He has followers, real followers, people who don’t think the show is simply comedy. If what he did was just satirical, my MySpace account would still be around. So I guess what I am saying is this: He knows these people exist and THEY are who he is really talking to in his videos. It may SOUND like satire to most people, but his cult followers take it literally (as he hopes they will).

   Sorreh if my last two sentences confused you, but to clarify:

   If you send someone your pictures — they can choose what they want to do with them. You have no control over what they can or cannot do with your pictures. Therefore, by sending your pictures, Chris did not have to choose them for his podcast, but he did anyways out of pure humor, and also so he doesn’t recieve over forty emails from someone else again. He mentioned that, remember?

   Did you read the Submission Guidelines for the Cute with Chris show before you mailed in your pics and information?

   Robin — April 8, 2008 #

   Very valid points there kandice thank you. However I have to say one thing. This might come across as rude, but it is more of a point then anything..
   the last line bothers me slightly.

   “but his cult followers take it literally (as he hopes they will).”

   Since when did you become a mind read?

   And secondly, you are right people do get a wee to obsessed with things, I noticed you posted a rather hateful and offensive picture sent in by one of your fans. Would he do what ever you asked him too?

   I have sat by and read your responses and those of your supporter C.Spot who seems to want to argue with me, and I respectfully listened to all your points and have been left with one conclusion.

   This site appears to more of a joke sight. Kinda of like the, hahaha jokes on you type.

   If it is in fact a serious site, then times are indeed sad. I Canadian, like Mr. Leavins and actually have a few friends i common. Chris has a loyal fan base who love him for his humor and zest for satire. You seem to have taken it out of context and border on the lines of being hypocritical a point i can no longer bear to witness. If this sight is serious, I wish you best of luck in your endeavors. Although I see it as a futile waste of time.

   All the best to you, and I hope no harm befalls you from your crusade, thats more then your mother seems to be offering.

   This isn’t a david vs Goliath scenario, this more of a David Vs. Imaginary shapes in clouds scenario.

   Again i mean that, only if this site isn’t for humour.

   All the best

    I love how apparantly I’m a supporter of Kandice. I’d rather say that I’m neutral.

    What I really enjoy doing on this site is trolling. People come on here and are so involved in this that it’s hilarious- it’s funny to see people’s emotions get all bent out of shape whenever I cut down their rediculous posts.

    Robert (Robin), a great example for me is how you “can’t bear to witness this site”, as if it’s causing you some sort of personal pain.

    Take this site for what it is- something to fuck around on and waste time.

    Persephone — April 8, 2008 #

    Actually, it is a symbol for Black Power. You led me to a site that clearly states that the symbol of a raised fist is commonly known as Black Power. Yes, it is used for other organisations, but I cannot help that that symbol along with your negative attitude reminded me of a less than honourable group. I don’t understand why you would call me an idiot if I am technically correct in my inquiry. Learn to understand and accept before you speak.

12.

    Kandice — April 8, 2008 #

    Persephone: If you view the raised fist as negative, that’s your perspective. That’s not what I see when I look at it. Just like the swastika… when I look at it, I see a symbol of hate, when a Hindu looks at it they see a symbol meaning “God the creator”.

    .

    You just seem opposed to any other view of the raised fist. To you, it’s negative and just means black power. The raised fist symbol was around long before the black panthers were… and it will be around long after I’m gone.

    Kandace,

    While it may be a little blurry Kandace its not unreadable which means that legally Chris is protected. Its on his website for anyone to read. It even specifically said that by submitting your pictures you gave him permission to “publish, use, and exploit your pictures in any manner”.

    You’ve also mentioned that you were once a fan of his show. If you were a fan then you must have seen his show where he satirically made fun of “Peg the kindergarten teacher” and her video on the beach. He didn’t give out any of her information and she still had her account hacked but she didn’t do anything in retaliation.

    Yes he knows his fans can be a little harsh but he even warned you of that Kandace before you even started this site and if you’ve seen his previous shows he has even mentioned the harshness of his fans on different pictures he has posted in the past.

    So I guess I’m asking if you were once a fan of Chris then you must have noticed that every other strongly worded letter was met with a satirical response by Chris, did you really think yours was going to be treated in any differently?

    Lisa — April 9, 2008 #

    I agree, CWC. Fans of his show understand his sarcastic humour, and that’s why we love Chris. If people actually took him seriously, then no one would like the show. Kandice, I agree that what Chris says about his viewers is mean, but only if it’s taken that way. He likes to poke fun at people and I really don’t think they take offence from it.
    A while back, he burned Charles from Ventura (for not attending cwc live) and Charles wrote Chris back, apologizing. He didn’t take offence from Chris trash talking him a little, so why can’t you just shrug it off?

    C.Spot — April 9, 2008 #

    CWC;

    Are you justifying people hacking other peoples accounts because of a lame 4 minute internet show?

    That’s quite pathetic. If my account was hacked due to Chris’ negligence his show wouldn’t be around today due to my lawyer ramming a legal foot up his sarcastic ass.

    Robert — April 9, 2008 #

    C.Spot, you are a sad useless pathetic person, You’re just about as useless as .Jpegs to Hellen Keller, It’s sad to see your over inflated ego blinds you from the fact you are a mere tool on the internet; all talk, but nothing more. You’re excessive use of profanity and pointless comments prove you seem to have attained your education and charisma from a box of Kracker Jacks.

    Why don’t you do us all a favour and cap yourself like yeller.

    Robert — April 9, 2008 #

    I just received a phone call AND an email back from the Pike County Sheriffs department, if any one wishes for a copy of it email me at dlanboy@hotmail.com. Apparently not only does Donald Greer not appear in their systems, that statement is not legitimate, and forging one is considered fraud.
    Yes Kandice i will be forwarding you the statement along with their phone number with the name of the individual i spoke with.

    This reeks to high heavens as an internet scam

    C.Spot — April 9, 2008 #

    Hey Robert;

    Here’s a thought for you: keep your 14 year old mouth shut.

    What about my comment was hateful/profane? Are YOU supporting people taking over other people’s accounts using CWC as “inspiration”? Or did you simply not like the fact that I called you out for being an overdramatic ass?

    I thought you were leaving? Didn’t you say that earlier? That you couldn’t “bear to witness this site” anymore?

    Oh, right, I forgot: you’re a victim of your own accusations. And stop posting your e-mail your idiot, lest someone with access to a proxy network and a mailing server use it to send you 100,000 e-mails a day.

    Idiot.

    Robert — April 9, 2008 #

    Actually Kandice, if you had read earlier, I switch the name and NOTIFIED everyone here that I did because some one had spammed my name. It’s sad that you have turned to such a childish nature since i have treated you with the UTMOST respect since coming here.

    I’m sorry you feel that my pre-notification as moronic. I guess it’s almost as moronic as faking a police report, which you should know is and ILLEGAL activity.

    I sent you the email that was sent to me, and yet no response.

    I thought this would be fun and offer a little challenge, instead i find myself being attacked in the most juvenile manner.
    All the best to you Kandice. I hope everyone here sees you for the fraud you are.

    C.SPOT

    Wow, I managed to get you all riled up with out using profanities, and yet your response was more along the lines of some one bored with life and lacking friends. I’m sorry you get so offended so easily. I never claimed you spewed hate, i did however claim that you use profanities, which i stand by.

    Also, Kandice has lied about Donald Greer, what makes you think she has not lied about other things? Surely if people were able to hack her accounts, then this site would just just as easy to do.. and yet…. nothing. You have issues with logic i see.

    Apparently you cannot read:

    1: I never said I was leaving, although sadly, I did change my name to some one who was previously on here who said he/she was leaving, that was indeed my mistake.

    2:Victim of my own accusations? I have no idea what you are bleeding on about

    3. as for the email. How stupid are you? Do you honestly think i would use my OWN personal email address.. I CREATED that address for the sole purpose of sending out that message. Refer to me as a 14 y/o? I find it ironic that an individual who spews profanity through that accusation around. To paraphrase you… You are not as half as smart as you think you are.

    C.Spot — April 9, 2008 #

    Correction, I’m twice as smart as you’d like me to be.

    Should this come to a battle of wits, well, suffice it to say that you’re pretty much unarmed.

    Oh, and I’m sorry, when did I get riled up?

    Good one smart boy

    Robert — April 9, 2008 #

    This has become tiresome, your lies have been revealed. I treated you with the utmost respect and this is how you behave, go fuck yourself.

    CWC — April 9, 2008 #

    C.Spot

    WOW! Nowhere in my comment did I say anything justifying what those people who hacked her accounts did. I only pointed out that it happened before to other people who wrote letters to Chris in a similar nature as the one that Kandace had sent to him.

    I only wanted to know if she had realized that fact and I wasn’t saying that it was right or that she deserved it. She has even said before that she could deal with her accounts getting hacked. While I still think it was wrong it is not nearly as big a deal as her dog getting stolen.

    Oh and C.Spot if I recall correctly I remember you commenting that you come on this site to get rid of the stupid people by outsmarting them or something around those terms but now it seems that Robert is just about as smart as you and when responding to his comments your starting to sound like teenager throwing a fit responding with low blows and sarcastic insults just like Kandace.

    I know your probably going to respond to this by yelling at me or calling me names or even add in some of that sarcastic humor that think comes across funny but actually makes you sound like a, in your own words, “douche”.

    I’m truly not saying any of this to be mean this is just my observations of comments you have left in the past that you seem to now be going back on. Maybe I’m wrong as I’m sure you’ll tell me but I’m sure I’m not the only only one who thinks this way

    Pers — April 10, 2008 #

    Kandice, I’m not trying to lecture you - but growing up, my dad was a ‘name caller’…he loved to call people names (including his family). He thought it made him look intelligent and above others…but all it did was socially isolate him and make him look childish.

    Don’t reply to people’s comments - even if you feel infuriated by them - with name calling. It makes you look childish. (ie: calling Robert or whomever a ‘moron’. Don’t throw that word around, it’s a cheap tactic.)

    I hope things are going okay for you and your family.

    I think we all need to get a life here and move on. I enjoy the cutewithchris show, but I don’t obsess about it. As for you, Kandice, you put yourself out there, and now you are crying about it. You know what Chris is all about, and I’m sure you laughed at other people that were stupid enough to email/send pictures with over-the-top commments. I think you just wanted the attention, and still do, obviously.

    And no, I’m not saying that stealing your dog is right or whatever else. It isn’t. People are stupid. And Chris has a sarcastic, yes, even mean, sense of humor. If you watched even one episode, you would know that. But you need to move on. You are just as bad as the people in “Chris’s Cult”. You are obsessing over him, and it isn’t healthy. This guy isn’t Hitler! If you want to do good in the world, I suggest, (if your old enough), go vote in the 2008 election. Or…volunteer for a cause you feel strongly about that will actually help your commmunity. A soup kitchen, or a fund drive. Investing time in revenge is a stupid waste of time. Mankind has been doing it for thousands of years, and it’s called “war”. Don’t we have enough of that? Please, just let it go. I’m not saying this for Chris’s sake, because I could care less about Chris. Frankly, I think you are just fueling Chris’s fire, and hence, being counterproductive. I’m saying this as someone who has wasted time obsessing about the past and things I can never change. Invest some positive energy in this world.

    P.S. I can’t believe your mom is supporting this…I’m a mom myself, and this is exactly what I would tell my daughters: Chris is a joke, and I’m pissed that he hurt you, but when you put yourself out into the world, don’t expect the world to be all roses and potpourri. Shake it off and move on.

    This isn’t healthy…hate is not a good outlet. In fact, I’m inclined to think this is a site PROMOTING cutewithchris, in a satrical way. This is a win-win for Chris. So…if it is meant to be that way, it’s brillant. But…if you are really serious about getting revenge, see my last message

    Why did you make this website? Chris already gave you what you wanted? You said that if he wont reply to your messages,you will make an I hate cute with chris page. He read them on the show and showed your pitures.
    P.S.What kind of camera were you using when you took the picture of your cat twinkie(hope i spelled it correctly)?

    maggie — June 14, 2008 #

    I was reading all of these responses when I came across a wrong fact.
    “Just like the swastika… when I look at it, I see a symbol of hate, when a Hindu looks at it they see a symbol meaning “God the creator”.”
    That is false. The swastika is not the hindu symbol, a reverse one is. The symbol was manipulated in order to gain that meaning. And anywhoo, that point is invalid anyways because while the raised fist represents and organization interpreted as good or negative, you are speaking of something that means two entirely different things. The hindu symbol does not have any correlation to the nazi party whatsoever.

    maggie — June 14, 2008 #

    Sorry about that, I just had to point it out…
    Oh, and I watch CWC and have gotten my pictures on his site.
    I like the show, look forward to it, and hope to see it live. The reason for this? Chris values his fans. Even though he may mock people, he values the people who watch his show. Otherwise he wouldn’t stress about reading all his emails. The worst thing that could happen to Chris would be his fans disappearing. One sour fan won’t upset him, and this site is practically promoting him. So yea… I understand that you could have taken offence, but you took it a bit too far…

    “Why were you upset Chris did not show your pictures?

    I wasn’t… I sent the e-mail as a joke…”

    If you sent it as a joke why are YOU blowing everything out of proportion by making this site. It may of hurt your feelings but get over yourself, having watched the episode, none of that is remotely offensive. Unless you happen to be extremely emotionally unstable. Which judging by this site I’m guessing you more than likely are.
    Also if you’re so bothered that he picked the crappy photo then maybe you should be more careful about what you send to people and actually look at the item BEFORE sending it. And as for saying you didn’t mean to send that many e-mails, why did you send him that certain e-mail stating that you had infact, sent him multiple e-mails.
    All I can say is, get a hobby or something because running a hate site is pathetic and immature for an 18 year old.

    Hey Kandice.
    I am one of Chris’ “Cult”. I therefore see a huge problem with your “ihatecutewithchris” website. I watched the video that Chris put about you on YouTube, and I really don’t think it was meant offensively. I think that it was you, and not Chris, that took the “whole thing out of proportion”. Can’t you just cut him some slack?
