“Have you seen the 40-Year-Old Virgin with that man that has all the toys? I mean, that is kind of — that’s our audience.”

And if that’s all you’re going to add to the discussion, get out of the discussion. Talk about nit picking; are you seriously going to condemn all of what I write because this one quote is ever so slightly out of context?

The main point of Waxman’s letter was surrounding how a lot of wrestling’s main demo is kids and teens, so Dixie is arguing back that some older guys are also involved. I know what’s she’s trying to say, but please! More kids buy those figures than “the 40-Year-Old Virgin with that man that has all the toys.”

This is my reaction. Links to the full transcript have already been posted, so don’t claim I’m not being accurate either! This is my opinion.

Why do you lie about what Dixie Carter said? She never said TNA’s target audience is 40 yr old virgins she said that TNA currently sell action figure and when she was asked who buys them she said they are bought mainly by older collectors who wont open them but display them in the original boxes like one of the characters in the movie 40 year old virgin.

Here is the quoto from the transcript:

Congress) Can I just go back to the demographics? One of your sources of revenue are toys?

Carter) Uh-huh.

Congress) Can you describe what kind of?

Carter) It is mostly collectibles, action figures. And I don’t know if any of the men around this table admit to having any. But it is really — it is more in the collectible side where guys keep the toys and they keep them in their boxes and then they increase in value and things such as that. They’re not as much, you know, play toys as more collectible items.

Congress) And who is the target audience for those items?

Carter) Well, collectibles are a much older demographic. I mean, they are probably — I mean, they are more grown men. I mean, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s even. Have you seen the 40-Year-Old Virgin with that man that has all the toys? I 16 mean, that is kind of — that’s our audience.

As You see she states it is the case for TOYS not overall as YOUR article states.

If your going to report on something as long and as hard to read as the transcripts to the interview at least make sure your writing the truth i mean did you not realise your website is called…o what was it…..WrestlingTruth…Geez.
