Apparently, uber-publicist Harry Weiss was a bit incensed at Director Mike Quasar's response to the simplyjimmyd.com scientific poll that indicates the Metro director has little chance of taking the stage at the upcoming AVN Awards show to accept the Best Director award.

Weiss sent the following email to this reporter, taking Quasarman to task for his inflammatory remarks about the quality of publicity the director has received.

Harry writes: Mike Quasar AKA Quasarman laments to you, "It's also true that during my tenure at Metro there have been no PR people employed who have been able to raise my stature in the industry one iota beyond "Oh, you mean the guy that looks like Tom Byron?"

I was director of Publicity for a year of his tenure. During that time I won the AVN Award for "Best Marketing," while Quaze received the most nominations ever. His best work seemed to be during his well publicized "my marriage is failing and the Quaze is drinking again" phase. I saw this and tried to nurture it. However, since his wife refused my advances and I could no longer afford the cost of alcohol that would magically appear at his kitchen door each morning, that tactic was doomed for failure. I am now convinced that the chances of raising Mike Quasar's stature is akin to a coma patient winning the Boston marathon.

I believe the reason Mike Quasar can't win is because of a birth defect. He is Canadian. Canada has contributed the following to the world of film; Michael J. Fox, Alan Thicke, and Mike Quasar. I am now convinced that the staff at AVN firmly believes in the 3 strikes, you're out rule. So Quaze, the year Alan Thicke wins an Oscar, could be the year you win an AVN Award.

Good Luck, you are still fairly young.
