Wow, that was kinda painful to watch. Not your part Brad the other guys interviewing you. It was almost like the didn't understand the whole idea at all.

Good to finally "see" you. A very good spot, even if the interviewers indeed had no idea what Evil Inc. was about. I eagerly await your next media appearance! (Today "Happy Hour", tomorrow "60 Minutes"!)

Saw the spot last night and thought you did a great job! I have to agree with the others though that the interviewers did not really seem to have a clue about web comics in general. But what do you expect from FOX ;)

Great job getting yourself some exposure, Brad. As a (former) fellow newspaperman, I'm sure you knew dealing with TV "journalists" would put you in the Lt. Dan role to their Forrest Gumps. You were a pro.
As I'm working on my master's degree, I've been learning a lot about entrepreneurship, and I think there was a disconnect between your view of the term and their much-more limited view. It seems they want to put all entrepreneurs in the box of people who start up a business with the intent of building it to a point where they can cash in by selling it off. That's not what webcomics are about. We do what we do because we have a love for this medium. Making money off our comics is classic, big-picture, bootstrap entrepreneurship, not trendy, market-value-inflation, sell-off-to-some-suckers entrepreneurship.
I actually think the guy who gave you a "fail" was trying to say something like that but the other two were preening too loudly. I don't think he was failing your idea but the fact that he can't make the round peg of your business fit his limited, square hole from an investment standpoint. He realized you don't need any of them!
