In an almost tragically comic turn of events Amiga Inc. is now a fully owned subsidiary of Simmons Group. American fitness mogul Richard Simmons says the company will be in good hands.
In a shock news announcement, we discovered this tasty bit of info on an AMIGA forum website, Amiga.org. Posted by an unknown leak, it was quickly removed before many people got a chance to read it, probably because of its bombshell import. This follows a recent spate of moderation of KMOS comments being quickly deleted in an utterly fair, balanced, and totally non-arbitrary manner from Amiga.org.
Considering the earth-shattering importance of KMOS to the AMIGA we understand the reasoning and wholeheartedly agree with this totally unbiased mangling of free speech. It must be done to prevent the postings of "factless idiots who like to hear themselves debating a point". Such people should never be allowed to comment, even when they're later proven right. Nobody but God has all the facts, ergo it is logical nobody should be allowed to say anything except mindless praise and dancing bananas. Otherwise it would be bad for the AMIGA, as our friend the ever-lovable Mike Bouma tells us. We must forever shut our minds against doubt, and other points of view.
But we at WrongPlanet feel this news is too important to be left to the whims of webmasters who are absolutely not on the KMOS payroll. The message was as follows:
In an almost tragically comic turn of events Amiga Inc. is now a fully owned subsidiary of Simmons Group. American fitness mogul Richard Simmons says the company will be in good hands.
Garry Hare said, "I was feeling exceptionally lucky that evening. Bill, Fleecy and I were just coming out of a favorite [sic] entertainment establishment celebrating the new agreement we have when who of all people do we meet on the way out but the one and only Richard Simmons.
"Well we just had to get his autograph and when he invited us to join him for a drink we couldn't refuse. To cut a long story short Simmons offered us a friendly game of billiards, me and Freece vs. Richard and his partner. Well I got to admit Fleeco's game was off and my dear wife kept calling me "311" on the cell. One thing lead to another and I'll call it "competitive instinct" but we ended up wagering a bit and after a few beverages I bet Amiga Inc. against his one of a kind Joe Dimaggio signed portrait worth millions.
"We Americans love a good bet! Well Fleecy did repeatedly try to warn me but I must take full responsibility, can't blame anyone or cry over spilt milk, I'm a big man now. Well you should have seen the look on Bill McEwen's face when he got back from the john and I introduced him to his new boss. Mr. Simmons."
Garry laughed out loud, "Richard was in pumps and a sequined blouse at the time."
Simmons said, "We have wonderful plans for expanding the Amiga concept including an Amiga powered carb/counter on steroids and many many more wonderful products that can help Americans increase there health along with a daily workout regime."
