WE GOTTA TAKE A STEP BACK<\/p>\n

Though we supported you
\nagainst all reason,
\nsorry, Josh,
\nbut what you did was, kinda, treason.
\nDon’t sue us for our accusations
\nsocial media live-streamed your agitations.
\nThe bottom line, Josh, is
\nwe’re a card making corporation
\nthat depends on the public’s monetization
\nso we have to break our association
\nwith you, Josh.
\nWe helped you in the past
\nthough we don’t want to say why
\nand now we regret it
\nas our donation is dragged into the public eye.
\nWe’re embarrassed to know you
\nso now we have to blow you
\noff, Josh.
\nThis will be our last friendly communication
\nas we have to protect our reputation
\nand so, sorry Josh,
\nF off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
