However, none of them would ever consider any involvement with OnRequest.

This deal will turn out to be just like playing 3 Card Monte with a Times Square hustler in the 80's. You think that you know that the golden ring is there somewhere, but you never find it; and you always lose. And the funny thing is that this deal abuses the very people that built this thing from the ground up.<BR/><BR/>Just when you thought that there was one photo agency that would stand above the Getty's, the WireImage's and the rest of the lot; they go and do this.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps you should change the name of the company now that you've inked this great deal.<BR/><BR/>May I suggest Magnum P.I.?<BR/><BR/>For Magnum Phucking Idiots? Perhaps.<BR/><BR/>Shame Shame ShameAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7553278593406733377.post-32392057689753495812008-01-18T13:18:00.000-05:002008-01-18T13:18:00.000-05:00I just don't get it.
