What's up with Burton? You always hear about them getting bent out of shape when they get criticized. Like threatening to leave Vermont after people called them out for their asinine Love boards. Just confirms the scientific evidence that snowboarders are just dumb as rocks. What's the latest you ask? Some writer/blogger we've never heard of, writing for a site equally unknown to us, found herself on the receiving end of some Burton hate after she had a gall to write a sarcastic blog post about Burton's annual industry party. God forbid somebody tries to be sarcastic in these trying times. Speaking of God, evidently the 2010 Burton Catalog is called the good book and looks like a bible. Jesus. Literally. Anyway, it all seems rather meaningless and pointless, much like everything we write about here, so of course we had to point it out. Thankfully this chick, Brooke Geery, summarized it all and we included the timeline after the jump. In the mean time, read about all the mean things we've said about Burton and other industry brands below. Feel free to leave us some hate mail. We love it. Especially if you work for Nike.
