		<description>Sorry, but does anyone else think this man is unattractive. Sitting in the tea room at work today, everyone looked at this guys article in cleo, and not one of us thought this man was good looking. He should ever have the opportunity to meet me, I wouldn&#039;t give him the time of day. He would be a 4 on my scale, and should he ever approach me, I would be thinking &#039;why are you talking to me&#039;. He is so in love with himself, it&#039;s almost embarrasing. No girl will ever take this guy seriously, and one day Kade, your looks (what you consider looks) will fade mate, and you will be left with nothing except your ego, and empty personality. One day, you will be droopy, saggy, and your balls will hang to your knees. Wish I was a fly on the wall for that one. No-one will be around to help wipe your pompass arse. As for your acting - do you think anyone in the industry will take you seriously, ha! You will be blackballed.</description>

		<description>I appreciate that you left the interview unedited.  You tried your darnedest to get Arthur to at least notice that everything that comes out of his mouth contradicts his reality or something else that comes out of his mouth.

But, as your interview has proven once and for all, it&#039;s a Sisyphean task.  Arthur Kade can only talk about himself.  No, it&#039;s worse.  Arthur Kade can only understand the world in terms of himself.  His experience is the ultimate reality.  If any two ideas occur to him, then they are both true in his mind, no matter how they relate to each other--it doesn&#039;t matter how they relate to each other, only how they relate to Kade.

As a corollary, Kade interprets every question he&#039;s asked as, &quot;Arthur Kade, someone might ask you &#039;X&#039;.   What does that make Arthur Kade think about Arthur Kade?&quot;  Asking him to consider the experience of another person is like speaking Basque to him: it is so utterly unlike anything he considers to be language that all he can do is gesticulate wildly and turn up the volume.

I think Kade himself best sums it up: &quot;Let me tell you something... what were you saying?&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;Kade: They’re not my problem. Their problems are not mine. So no. I have a dream, and I’m going to go for it no matter what. I need to stay focused, and to worry about other people’s problems is their own problem.&quot;

What a closing statement! Glad this is saved for posterity on this site. Thinking like this is what will crush this fuck in the end. Here he was two days ago bragging about his &quot;philanthropic goals&quot; and supporting charity - in this case the Ronald McDonald House - and you&#039;ve got him on record saying he basically doesn&#039;t give a shit about anyone lesser than him. 

Nice work - I don&#039;t know how Arthur can think this interview in any way portrays him in a positive view.</description>

		<description>It was me who posted on his site. I did it so that commenters would know my personal feelings, and to show arthur that no matter how he twists the article, no matter what he says about me, he know what my feeling were during the interview. Thanks for the heads up/consideration. Appreciate it. -Aaron Stella</description>

		<description>Aaron, on his site someone posted using your name.  Can you amend this article so we know if that was in fact you or just someone posing as you?  Thanks!</description>

		<description>This guy just seems stupid. Most of what he&#039;s said here makes no senses, lots of gibberish. Does he really think he&#039;s going &quot;enchant&quot; people? He has to realize at some point that people are not responding positively to him. He might become well known, but he&#039;ll need to get on a reality show or something with actual exposure. All his press thus far has been regional. What a joke.</description>

		<description>I just watched more video.  I want him to be real.  I think he is real.  I need him to be real. 

Is he real?

I want to believe that the microuniverse he lives in is supportive enough of his delusions to counterbalance everything bad being said in the metaverse. That the popularity fuels him, irrespective of whether it is positive or negative. 

He’s a better looking Richard Simmons.</description>

		<description>Under most circumstances, I would encourage a person to follow their dreams. In Arthurs case, I uncharacteristically find myself waiting for him to fail. To crash and burn. I want him to have a breakdown...to admit failure. Everyone knows that him suceeding in acting is a huge longshot, and the chance of failure is 99.99%. 

He IS failure. He&#039;s begging karma to kick him in the nuts, and he deserves it because he&#039;s a terrible person.</description>
