Of all the things that never happened, this never happened the most.
Just like his prior flights of fancy, master troll Father Robert Ballecer — disgusting priest with a persecution complex — told another fib on Twitter.
We’re totally confident he took pictures, video, and can tell us who the company was. Right? Right?
Filming a quad demo when it broke. Frustrated rep asked what a "religious nut" was doing at CES.
I fixed his demo.#KnowledgeOverBigotry

here is another example and simple low cost technology segment which is fun and useful, and does well on youtube.

No, he’s just a fraud.
How can he be shocked when he wears his frock to CES? No other job, vocation or profession requires one to wear their uniform 24/7.
What if a doctor went to CES in scrubs? Or an off duty cop went in their police clothes? Or a clown went with his red nose and makeup?
They would be called nuts.

Seems to me this is another case of the crybully/internet wimp/victim mentality so prevalent around the internet social networks as their called. He is a grown man acting like a little cry baby. What does he expect sympathy? Could have used the opportunity to confront said rep face to face and work things out right there and then like real me do, instead of using the twitters to vent out whatever bothered him. Just one man’s opinion.

He isn’t telling a lie. The guy did say it but he meant “why is a religious guy at CES?” He certainly wasn’t a bigot. He thought Priests do priest stuff.
I am not sure why TD thinks he is lying,

Proof? Video? Audio?

It’s right next to your proof he is lying. He is blowing it out of proportion but not lying.

I *can’t* prove a negative, but you can prove a positive. Without verifiable attribution which you refuse to provide, you are lying and trolling us.

Idiot. You can’t prove a negative because you’re guessing, assuming, lying, imagining. You’re actually arguing that I’m lying because I can’t prove what I am saying. Worse yet, you are making defend one of the lowest forms of life on planet earth. A man who rolls around dressed as a man of God while simultaneously talking 24/7 about stuff he likes to play with.

Put up or shut up, dude. Since you’re obviously slow, tell us your proof or STFU.
holden» Quote comment
You are dumb. Really dumb. You’re demanding I prove to you that he is telling his truth yet you proclaim he is lying with nothing more than a guess. I CANT PROVE IT EITHER WAY, THE DEFAULT IS ALL STATEMENTS ARE TRUE,,, OR YOU MORONS COULD MAKE A POST ABOUT EVERYTHING HE SAYS AND JUST “SAY” IT’S A LIE YOU FUCKING IDIOT. Typical TD hypocrisy. The sad part is you don’t understand the hypocrisy. It’s ok, it makes your head hurt, I understand, logic can be cruel.
Anyway, you get the last word so respond away confident you won’t be challenged by me. But wow, you’re dumb.
Love the site, keep it up

So here’s my theory on the priest:
He was the child of religious immigrant Filipinos. He grew up being the weird awkward nerd. He either was very shy with girls or gay. He didn’t want to embarrass his parents, so he entered the preisthood. Now he lives the perfect life (in his mind):
He gets to play with tons of nerdy techy shit
He’s loved by his parents and others b/c he’s devoted his life to God.
He doesn’t have to talk to girls
He doesn’t have to give in to his gay desires
There’s no pressure on him to achieve anything else. He doesn’t have to have a family, a job, a house, or responsibilities.
It’s kind of sad really.

I think he would have went straight or gay if anyone was willing to fuck him… he’s a priest by default.

I suspect there’s a convention either among some Jesuits or some priests that you should dress as a priest while going about your daily business, as a way of spreading the word or being a beacon to the community.
It’s probably made up, but I bet he would say he’s following convention in dressing how he dresses.

He is at work. His check from Twit goes to the church. He has to fill out a budget for the church yearly. He is given expenses and access to a car. However his vow of poverty is a really gray area.
It means if they send him out to do real church work he must leave all his junk behind him. Most priests and nuns are highly educated or trained. Some wouldn’t last 10 min in the real world.
Remember the church while it ‘s goal may be good, it is one huge global corporation.
I inter-act with priests and nuns a lot. Most wear street clothes with friends and family. Leo can gift him cash whenever he wants. Every group, company, and church has a fair share of creepy people.

He has said that the clothing he wears on camera is a stipulation of his employment at twit. The Jesuits want him to be seen as of the church doing things people may not think is typical of the Catholic church.
And I don’t give a shit what someone wears.
And if I wear something unusual myself, I’ll expect comments about it.

I still see his lust for things as he is unworthy of the cloth. “For an overseer (Elder of the church), as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain.”

Ain’t religion grand!…
POPE FRANCIS WAS QUOTED AS SAYING THERE ARE AROUND 8,000 PEDOPHILE PRIESTS STATIONED AROUND THE GLOBE…In the interview, Pope Francis was quoted as saying that the 2% estimate came from advisers. It would represent around 8,000 child-abusing priests out of a global number of about 414,000. While the incidence of pedophilia as a psychiatric disorder in the general population is not accurately known, some estimates have put it at less than five percent.

I have a look at this site to amuse myself while I eat my lunch. It is hilarious to see the way you lot waste your life analysing and commenting on something you say you don’t think is any good these days. Duh! Here’s a thought – spend your time watching / listening to a network you do think has some merit.
Tim Williams» Quote comment
Tim welcome. I do hope you find some humor here. I think people here are just making some frustrated comparisons of a once great pod casting idea to what it is now.
Some posts are even over the top for me. But I find this place curious. I am also entertained.

There is a range of people here from a little batty (me) to completely insane (Holden, for one). If you think it’s bad here you should take a look at the TotalDrama IRC. About a dozen people spend their entire day making fun of podcasts they hate and of people they despise while they watch every minute. They spin total lies to each other about impending doom for everything associated with TWIT. Some wish gruesome deaths on TWiT people, and I don’t think they’re kidding.
I have logged it as I have logged #twitlive and then looked at the log briefly. I admit that’s batty, but I am an internet rubbernecker. The trainwreck I look at for a few minutes every few days, though, is not TWiT, it’s the TD crazies who hope Leo dies of the beetus, because he sold out for money and a new wife or Megan whose eyebrows are too big and seems too happy for her own good (or the good of the bottom dwellers who hate her). BTW, I think Megan is pretty which means they hope I will die imminently as well.
