	It always gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling when I see the blogs I read reported in otf_wank. (Reply to this)

Yikes.

Gizmodo: This thingamabobber doesn't look so hot.

Thingamabobber's Inventor: DONT JUDGE ME U DONT KNO ME! Or my thingamabobber! YOU ARE DESTROYING MY LIFE!

Gizmodo: You're right, I don't know you. Let's see what we can find out. *pause* Whoa, there are how many lawsuits for fraud against you?

TI: *sends an email to all the commenters to the effect that the thingamabobber is not released yet and there's a press ban on it*

A commenter: *posts the email, 'cos damn*

Another commenter: If there's a press ban on it, how come it has its own web site right out in public view?

Commenters: *debate whether Gizmodo is mean, whether TI is batshit, and how, exactly, TI plans to make money selling his thingamabobber in China*

Me, I'm just amused that it's possible to declare that there will be no press coverage on something. Isn't that a huge blinking sign that says "HOT STORY HERE, COME AND GET IT"?

	Why are the Gizmodo editors stooping to ad hominem? It tells us nothing about the actual merit of the product. No wonder the guy's offended. Ok, so the fact that the guy's a scam artist has nothing to do with the validity of his product? What world is this poster on? (Reply to this)
