I'll go ahead and get this out of the way: No we weren't axed. We 
haven't even seen anyone with an axe. There was this one guy who came up 
to us to /axe/ us a question, but that's about it. Much like Tupac 
Shakur and/or Jesus Christ, our deaths have been greatly exaggerated.

We're going to chalk this one off to one to a poorly-worded and vague 
news piece that got out of hand (No offense to Nate.). While yes, our 
team might be a bit lean at the moment, we aren't the starved, 
skeleton-thin relics we've been rumored to be. It reminds me of that 
time in grade school when I was sent to the Principal's office for 
talking too much in class. By the end of the school day, the whole class 
was abuzz with scandalous reports that I'd not only been expelled, but 
was also arrested for drug possesion and made an honorary G-Unit member 
as well."
