Ghost Adventures Fans Targeted

A blogger in Denver felt the need to not only point out that she disapproved of how the GAC Crew (AKA the Ghost Adventures cast featuring Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin and Nick Groff on the Travel Channel) acted towards a local historian, but the journalist decided to take a jab at the GAC fan base, killing two ancilary birds with one stone.

States Tiffany Fitzgerald of Denver Westword Blogs:

Maybe pre-interview your sources to make sure their personalities mesh with yours, Douche Bagans … Maybe then I’ll watch your show again, although I’m guessing intelligent women aren’t your target demographic.

Aside from the shall-we-say colloquial nickname given to the show host and the comments made about the cast, do you think it was right of the blogger to single out the GAC fan community? If she hadn’t had a good experience with this “demographic” before writing this article, she sure didn’t make any friends with her comment (check out the comments to see what I mean). Hell hath no fury like a fan community scorned. 

UPDATE: Though some fan comments mirror the fact that the blogger who made the article got to them, there are many voices of reason within the GAC fan community. Jasmine, who made this in response to fans commenting on the article, will be featured in a future interview for this site for her hallowed spot within the GAC fan community.

My Two Cents – Just Be Nice

Upon expressing my discontent on my private Facebook about a hotel in Cambridge MA for their treatment of Lady Gaga fans, including myself, earlier today before she launched her charity foundation, I was met with the lovely comment pictured. Aside from the atrocious grammar/punctuation and the fact that this person used to be a good friend, I found myself getting angry about not only the assumption of how I acted today, but how fanatics in general act.
