In one of the most blatant displays of inappropriate office behavior since Clarence Thomas found a pubic hair on a can of Coke, tech monster Leo Laporte wades into unsavory territory with Sarah Lane on a recent pre-show for “iPad Today.” Tell us what you think? Do you think Leo is a pig and should mend his ways?
Update: see annotated raw footage of the incident. Thanks to the commenters on this article for putting it together.
I’m trying to turn over a new leaf here at #TotalDrama; not sure I can do it though. But with this video, I’m making a small attempt at spreading the good cheer and happy vibes that the competent and wonderful TNT host Mike Elgum is trying to incorporate into his show each and every day. He’s like a beautiful flower that’s reaching for the California sun. So here goes:
“Tech News Today” has the most amazing co-hosts. The show is just really hitting it out of the park. They are insightful and relevant and never boring or unprepared. They never lull you to sleep with useless info or awkward banter. TNT is just the best.
Internet disappointment Leo Laporte happily unboxes a recent purchase and shares the experience with his viewers. You’ll never guess what happens next.
Time to class up this website and give an unbiased review. No longer will Leo be the victim of hate. It’s now time for fairness and equality. I will be doing honest show reviews for the readers of this great site who deserve columns written with integrity.
Let me start with what is called a metaphor, bitches. I live in a big city and went out for Mexican cuisine with friends. The eatery was only a ten minute walk from my residence so I elected to travel home by foot after a lovely evening. I was only about three minutes away from my home destination when I realized I had made a serious error and should have taken a cab.
The Mexican meal was not happy where it lay and wanted out and wanted out fast. The food, awash in intestinal fluid, rushed through my colon on its way to a raucous ride through my small intestine where it was finally damned by my taut rectum. The pressure was great but I held my own. I prayed to God to let me get to my lobby and if the explosion were to happen there, so be it. I would take the mess in my pants up the solemn stairwell and into my apartment where I would discard the evidence and none would be the wiser.
I clenched my buttocks and every step was an epic battle. I made it to the lobby. But I grew brash and, feeling confident, I decided to take the elevator. Once inside the emergency status returned and my eyes began to water. I gathered every iota of strength and kept the rushing monsoon at bay. My face flushed with blood and my eyes were frozen wide open and unblinking as the elevator doors at last parted. The sanctum of my front door was in sight. I moved one cautious foot in front of the other and finally reached satisfaction just as I inserted the key into the door.
God was kind to me. I only had 30 feet to get to my round porcelain goal. Victory was in my grasp as a smile could be seen on my face. Both feet passed the bathroom threshold, there I stood, my back to the flushable oasis I had dreamed of. I undid my bucklings and with one motion I slid my pants and undergarments to the floor. But I was too cocky. The combination of bending down, which straightened my colon, and the release of tension when my pants fell to the floor was too much to overcome. It was everywhere.
The remnants of the explosion took hours to clean. Somehow the radius of the blast seemed to defy three separate laws of physics. The image of myself naked on my knees crying in my own feces with filthy rags is the metaphor for the October 19th episode of TWiT. I will give it 2 out of 5 stars.
Watch this tragic clip from a recent pre-show for “iPad Today” as Sarah Lane has to pretend to believe in Leo’s delusions of grandeur. It’ll be a cold day in Pet-hell-uma before Leo actually does a “worldwide meetup.” But here he is, proclaiming once again that these things will happen. We can tell by that death stare on Sarah’s face, however, that she ain’t buyin’ his shit no more.
Out of the mouth of the Insane One himself comes a truth so devastatingly self-evident, that it’s a mystery why it took so long to be uncovered. Watch this video and prepare to be shocked beyond all imagination. Or maybe not.
