hhhhmmmm.
It wasn't funny enough to be on front page...
Although I do understand the animator's plight and have won 2 national awards for them, I found most of this to be total bullshit.
The only money I had to spend was on Flash CS4, and when I started, I didn't have to sacrifice any of my personal life. In fact, it has actually advanced my social life in a few ways, the most prominent of which has been by organizing a small posse designated for specific tasks (ie one of my friends programs, one voices one character, another voices another, and one makes the music),..and I, of course, am the animator.
Otherwise good animation and voicing but not so much the "advice".
