Biting the hand that feeds with two sets of mandibles

I was struck by this post on Bloody Disgusting declaring new release and major Bloody Disgusting advertiser Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem “horrible crap,” because not only does it tell readers “please, please, please save your money,” it also explicitly takes a shot at the presence of AVPR advertising on the site itself. I’m just not used to that kind of candor or courage in the context of fannish entertainment news media, I guess.
