=================================A feeling of discontent has been spreading around the Evil Empire clan.
Sources close to the clan say that a name change may be coming. "It's just too common, there's lots of 'em in the States" said one, referring to the clan name and the abundance of Evil Empire clans in the US. Attempts to seek comment from EvEm officials have so far met with outright denial. "Why don't you go bite my gerbil" said Xtro when asked about the possibility of a change. Co-founder Aphex was equally upset when approached; "Name change? No, no, I have no comment at all on that. Why can't you just leave us alone?".
Further investigations have shown that Aphex is not only unhappy with the clans name, he also intends to move away from his nickname as well. One junior member of the clan was heard to remark "Yeah well, just do a search on AltaVista for the word Aphex and see how many it shows up. How shithouse is that?". Although only rumour at this stage, the new nick for Aphex may contain a reference to his (also rumoured) fetish for donkeys.
EvEm officials have closed ranks since these developments broke earlier this week. Access to clan headquarters was blocked today by a large crazed man in a mini excavator. Several Sesame Street characters were observed talking to the man, along with a person in a Humphrey B. Bear suit and an odd looking Star Wars character.
Stay tuned for more developments.
