I think it’s funny that people don’t get that nothing I do here will ever rise to the level of what Leo ‘n’ Lisa do to their own staff, people they profess to care about.
They hire people, they fire people. They sexually harass them. They purposely never have black people on. They don’t take care of their own dog.
I’m just editing comedy videos together and working on writing quick and silly blog entries. I’m learning and having fun at the same time.
Leo hired an idiot to run his “news department” and I’m just pointing out how ridiculous his choice was. So don’t read too much into the posts here that are of the comedy variety.
Leo Laporte talks about how “hot” his girlfriend and current TWiT CEHo is. It sure is nice to see a gold-digger in leggings on the livestream—she’s a pure delight, isn’t she?
I am giving up on the crusade. (Just me, not others at the blog) It is important to tear through the propaganda and lies and a lot of that is being done here. Hopefully people will think before accepting everything they hear. To me, it seems none of the good goals will be reached, some people will just not admit mistakes and change ain’t gonna come.
In the end, if people are apparently getting hurt, then I have to take responsibility for my part. I do still believe their chat room should be fair game until they stop their insults on kicks. I am also happy having our alternative chatroom where anything can be said. But if this tiny blog of jokes is hurting people somehow, what can I do. I also have an anti-Redsox blog I guess I should take down too. I am only one guy so the blog will continue, so stay plugged in to all the other great artists and writers here.
And so it goes.
Internet fuckup and TNT’s very own shitty host Mike Elgum is such an idiot. Listen in on him falling prey to one of the oldest jokes in a high-schooler’s prank toolbox, the infamous and always-funny Heywood Jablome. But of course, Elgum can’t be counted on to pronounce it correctly.
Elise Hu is completely left out to dry by Mike Elgum and his shitty TNT news program. Elise does the best she can, but the guest wasn’t properly introduced to the format, thus resulting in this sad display on TNT.
Nine months without a sick, personal or vacation day. The TWiT news director will finally be taking a little R&R next week. Filling in, on Thursday, will be none other than San Francisco’s golden girl, the lovely and talented Sarah Lane. Many experts have said that this shuffling may be a harbinger of things to come.
The year long contract is coming to a close on the current front man and the heir-apparent may already be waiting in the wings. With her lightened schedule after the recent purging of programs past their primes, she certainly has some time on her hands. Is this sassy sweety the answer to moving the network beyond the founder?
A rumor has surfaced that Laporte may even be putting the heat on IRC staff to reprieve all chat room bans in honor of Lane’s triumphant return to prime time. Could this be the moment he leaves behind the pettiness and returns to an era of magnanimousity? magnanmousness? magnamaneous? F.U. spell check. Others have speculated that a Mary Heart styled desk may even be in the works if the switcheroo is pulled off. That’ll be one short complaint line – for sure!
Current TD Jason Howell has been seen whispering unusually softly and unusually often to Miss Lane in their little cubical hideaway. (Nothing torrid as Howell is a happily married man) Could Howell be longing for the days of managing only single digit Skype connections?
Fans of Miss Lane know her machinations quite well. If the hair is up, TNT is not in her future, if the hair is down, it’s a maybe, but if the hair is down and to the side, you may want to bet it all on this prognostication. If she wears her purple top, JammerB may as well set that chairs height with cement. Many fans were quite impressed with the chemistry between Elise Hu and Sarah, could Hu be a future co-host as Lane leaves the rotating host nonsense behind? Hu wouldn’t jump in bed with these two for their daily dose of tech news? Would TWiT actually become a leader in diversity?
TN2 numbers started small but have been steadily trending upwards as more people learn of the high production value show. We are all aware that the marketing, of which there is none, is certainly not what has been propelling this show forward. As an example of the marketing prowess, the fans hoping for alternating hosts to present The Week Ahead on the TWiT program were met with a resounding “nah.” Lane is not particularly fond of waking up with the roosters after a night of wine drinking and dancing to the latest Funk Master Flex album. But David Letterman always had a soft spot for the The Tonight Show even after his move to CBS, and this spunky ball of sass may have her big eyes eying the big show as well. The only thing that could be said for certain: We will all be as fixated on this story as Laporte is when walking behind a fit Petaluma house-wife in black yoga pants. Who knows, Miss Lane may get her 4.7 inch gold iPhone just yet.

Nasty netcaster Leo Laporte lets fly another signature “family-friendly” utterance during a recent taping of “Before You Buy.” Laporte is just a gross old man with too much money and not enough sense. Abort Laporte!
Mike Elgum continues his march to irrelevancy by still not bothering to move his lips consistent with the skills of a real broadcaster. In this clip from a recent “Tech News Today” show, watch the bumbler-in-chief butcher a simple location shout-out. There’ll be no global reporting for you, Mr. Elgum…not with such a childish grasp of geography or an even more tenuous grasp on the difference between tiny household pets and English towns.
At first I was letting the video clip stand alone. But after watching it and the the entire original show I got mad.
What happened to the TWiT that promised us interesting interviews with internet luminaries like Brewster Kahle? Someone who believes in internet freedom, in sharing all of human knowledge?
Gone? Kaput? Where? Are we all idiots? We can see Leo promising to share everything, to upload everything. And what do we have?
