A brief disclosure

We here at the peter johansen vlog fan blog wish to let fans know a bit about the standards employed at this fledging yet necessary blog.

1.) You may notice that occasionally a blog post seems to slightly change. That's probably because the post has slightly changed.

We here at pjvfb occasionally make changes to posts to correct spelling and awkward phrasing or to add information (such as photos and quotes). Example: We recently updated the last post to read: Because the opening title shot, with the aquamarine words AMERICA THE VERY, VERY BEAUTIFUL... A SAMPLE on black background, was so -- how do we put this -- ominous. And ghostly.

It previously read: Because the credits were so -- how do we put this -- ominous. And ghostly.

Why the change? We incorrectly called the opening title "credits."

We consider this a minor correction. More significant changes will be made public.

2.) Much of the blog is fabricated. Vague summaries or paraphrased conversations with Peter pass through our magic factory and become quotations. Sometimes we use actual exact quotes. Opinions expressed may not even be our own. Hopefully, we can all enjoy guessing what is fact and what is fiction.

We will, however, diligently cite sources outside the realm of Peter Johansen.

We may also invent people. Josey5000 of Waco, Texas, for example, probably doesn't exist. But we can't say for sure that a woman in Waco wasn't scouring craigslist for a tea set late one night, stumbled upon Peter's audition ad and esp-mailed us a heads-up. Of course, Peter did tell us ahead of time he was going to post the ad, then immediately contacted tpjvfb when it was up.

What we're saying is this: the only reason we lie is because we don't have real tips or real fans -- besides uncle gerry (God bless him!). So, like democracy, it's up to you the fans/voters to keep us honest. Also, we hit you because we love you.

3.) Mixed metaphors and clunky phrasing are often on purpose. (Send your complaints to Sergeant Vlog. He'll know what to do with them.) But you knew that. Because you are smarter than us.

4.) You the fans are us the fans. Our faults are yours, but not vice versa. Also, our triumphs remain ours.

5.) Most pictures are simply ripped off the Internet without permission. We're so sorry, world. We hope we're not the straw that breaks the global camel's back. (We're hoping catastrophic climate change or teenagers dancing dirty beat us to the punch.) Again, send us legitimate, original photos and we'll post them. Or illegitimate, pirated photos, since we already said we'd post them, too.

6.) We can't always tell when we're kidding. And (as stated earlier) we lie, because according to our ex-girlfriend, we're cowards. (That's actually true.)
