“This Week in Tech,” supposedly the flagship broadcast of the TWiT network, is now just basically a fat black man talking to a gross tranny, a weirdo Brit blowhard and an obese white man about nothing. How much longer can advertisers support this garbage? We here at TotalDrama are pretty much convinced that the viewer numbers are mostly bots and grandmas who haven’t updated their podcast player preferences in five years.
If everyone in America, Canada and Brazil were to check their subscriptions and uncheck “TWiT” at the same time we could have this shit network shut down in an instant and be done with this bullshit once and for all.
Your blog is the worst get a life before someone shuts YOU down!!!

Totally disagree. I love you guys and gals at Totaldrama. This was a GREAT Post. Keep hitting hard and maybe TWIT will finally go away!

Now I just feel you have no more life other then cheap shots at TWiT. I’m not happy about the way they ran this network and not a fan of Owen JJ since he has no credibility or idea on what hes talking about, but this post is just a low blow. Grow up and get over your hate for these people. Those three people on the panel doesn’t deserve your negative and hurtful words.
Andrew» Quote comment
The reason for this post being so “rough” is that Leo made insensitive jokes about Indian men and OhDoctah said NOTHING about it. Myriam Joire said NOTHING. He and Myriam just sat there like two voiceless Uncle Toms as Leo spouted his racist humor. TotalDrama stands for diversity in all its forms, and this post is meant to highlight the intransigence of the panel guests in the face of Leo’s blatant asshole behavior.

didnt this blog used to knock twit for lack of diversity? you are just haters

But I think we are equal opportunity haters. They would pounce on me and rip the flesh from my bones as quickly as Maid Myrium. Only I would die as I typically do not carry a purse to thwart my attackers.

Great fan of what you cover HelloWorld but this post is rather nasty. It attacks people who have done nothing to anyone like Myriam and OhDoctah and plays right into the smear that we’re nothing but nasty trolls.
Sharted My Guts» Quote comment
But OhDoctah just sits there as Leo makes fun of Indian men. He didn’t speak up against Leo’s racist jokes…so what does that make him? It just makes him a goofball sitting there like an Uncle Tom. I would hardly describe that as a blow against the establishment and a win for diversity if OhDoctah won’t raise his voice to speak in favor of a fellow man of color. So Leo just gets to spout his insensitive jokes about minorities?
Don’t you get in the least what this blog is? It’s raising awareness through comedy. Nobody would read this blog if it were all 100-percent serious all the time.

The frightening thing is that you don’t understand how racist your reasoning is and how hurtful this blog is to those of a racial, sexual, or gender minority.

Maybe there is a reason Twit has no real diversity. Maybe the people who are “diverse” don’t want to appear with Leo.

The truth hurts. How myriam conned it’s way into the tech world I will never know.
You butt-hurt commenters think these guys were Leo’s first choices? These are all people he had to settle for because others couldn’t do the show. With the possible exception being the Brit. Leo has one last hurrah when the anniversary show comes and then it’s only a matter of time before jcd stops doing the show and it will REALLY suck.

Joire is pretty knowledgeable when it comes to mobile. What, would we have preferred the Gum to have flapped his gums about MWC instead?

Bashing aside, there is NO ONE on that panel I would like to hear an opinion from. So glad I unsubscribed.

I really do not ever remember a show where Leo not only belittled his panel be argued with the between interrupting them.
Even a second string team should be treated better. After all JCD and the others told him to fuck off.
Dr. Oz» Quote comment
During last week’s Inside Twit the line-up was announced as “John C. Dvorak, Kevin Rose, and fresh off a plane from MWC, Mike Elgan”. I was highly looking forward to this panel if only to watch JCD constantly roll his eyes and deride Gum.

I missed the Indian racist comment earlier today. So I am currently re listening to TWiT. Sometimes facial expressions speak louder than words. Miriam is the most knowledgeable guest. She was very focused. Also she has a variety of tech experience.
Dark side of Doo» Quote comment
Miriam is very smart. How she chooses to live her life is none of our beeswax. I’m going to send this article to some transgender bloggers. They will set HelloWorld straight.

So Leo makes a racist comment and you take on yourself to balance the sheets by spewing out your own racist comments?
It just shows that you are no better then the other racists.
the life» Quote comment
racism and sexism is something they like to accuse twit of. if you visit the chat here they all say derogatory things about women, ‘cunt’ being a favorite term to refer to women by. one day i went in there and Mark Vaughn from Vaughn Live kept talking about the dangers of ‘bad pussy.’ it’s not a welcoming place for women or anyone actualy interested in social justice so i stay out of the chat. in chat they even admit the anti-sexism and racism thing is just a way to attack twit.
sad thing is the boys in there would be humiliated if the women in their lives knew what they said here.
these guys just hate on twit. if twit had an all women panel they’d complain about men’s rights being violated or one of the women wearing a hat. no one can take it serious if they read more than one post.

This post describes twit perfectly, Its amazing how they went from pros like tom to the bottom of the trashcan in that picture.It shows the low standing twit has in the tech media nowadays
rocker182» Quote comment
so in your opinion black people and the transgendered are the lowest form of trash?
Mr. Guano» Quote comment
It was more a statement on the reporters i forgot to put talent in that last post
rocker182» Quote comment
Lets be real, Tom doesn’t have a single person in his rolodex that could trump Myriam on knowledge and on-hand experience with mobile phones.
And he keeps bringing on Lamarr Wilson, who is still refusing to use proper audio equipment to record a podcast. Go figure.
What I’m saying is that Twit has a booking problem that has gotten worse in the past two years, but Myriam and Iain are not part of the problem, and Owen is IMHO merely a bit overused for the moment, after not having been on for a long while.
NormansThirdNipple» Quote comment
Whats changed in the last 2 years?
Dr. Marcus Welby» Quote comment
Lets look at the guests in March 2013:
Twit #395
– Mark Millian
– Horace Dediu
– JCD
Twit #396
– Liz Gannes
– Jolie O’Dell
– Dwight Silverman
Twit #397
– Nilay Patel
– Joanna Stern
– Molly Wood
Twit #398
– JCD
– Jason Snell
– Denise Howell
Twit #399
– Brian Brushwood (and Jury, apparently)
– Baratunde Thurston
– Joshua Topolsky
One of 15 spots (Molly) probably wont be back partially because of Tom, and the Nsfw guys obviously left for curses and extra dough.
I can’t bring myself to belief that Chad no longer producing Twit is responsible for the change cause he sure seemed to mostly coast on the foundation Eileen had layed and Léo’s pre-existing connections.
So I’m going to blame it all on Léo’s progression into morbid obesity.

I wonder if the sexist racist helloworld has any friends in real life. Has he ever talked to a girl?

Probably not, he is obvious a miserable person.

You get docked 5 points for not even bothering to come up with an applicable misogynistic remark.

If your going to write a post about Leo making a racist joke. Just come right out and say that, don’t try to be cleaver. The majority of the readers of this blog don’t have a sense of humor or irony.

All I can say is HelloWorld you are a racist homophobic women hating troll who just gets your jollies out attacking people. Calling women cunts, making racist jokes and if you’re gay, you wouldn’t make homophobic comments. Someone needs to sue you guys.
As Taylor Swift would say, “haters are gonna hate hate hate.”

Molly: OhDoctah is fat. Christina Warren is a cunt. And Myriam Joire is one ugly Bruce Jenner.
I just tell the truth.
HelloWorld» Quote comment
Molly, there you go, again you stupid, fat cunt bitch!! There is no one to sue. Jesus Christ, you are fucking dense.
As HelloWorld mentions, the guests on TWIT are the nadir, the lowest of the low of the tech world. Let’s do a roll call: Christina Warren, the dog-ugly bitch who proudly wears T-shirts emblazoned with “I Stole Your boyfriend” and who never shuts up; Harry McCracken, who sounds like Fozzy Bear.
Then there’s Myriam. Hiring it to join TWIT is the final straw. It doesn’t add anything to a conversation. I work hard all day, and the last thing I want to see is it doing commentary.

anyone else notice that being on camera is not enough for OhDoctah (or what ever he calls himslef)? He must announce his race? “Due to my african-american heritage I must use Beats”.
Like there was a African-american vote on the subject that they had to listen to crappy expensive head phones.

Sounds like Leo wants to make sure even the audio listeners know he had a black guy on the show.
