Leo Laporte, master of spin

Leo gives Chad the big "fuck you."
Leo gives Chad the big “fuck you.”

In the post-show to “MacBreak Weekly,” Leo Laporte just responded to chatroom queries about the demise of Chad Johnson’s employment at TWiT as Chad’s opportunity to “take OMGCraft to the next level.” Leo then added that he “loves and supports Chad.” He then quickly went on to say that he hoped to make Chad an “off-site producer.” We here at #TotalDrama have no idea what that means; and we suspect that Leo doesn’t either.

One wonders if Leo would have told the suffering victims of Nagasaki after the Americans dropped the bomb on them, that this was their “opportunity to rebuild a great Japanese city.”

For Leo and Lisa, “positive” news turns out to be exactly not that.

Jarvis and Laporte laugh at Robert Scoble

So we’re trying to clear out some old videos here at #TotalDrama just so they don’t get too stale. So here’s one we plucked out of the “backroom” here at TDHQ:

In a shocking display of disrespect during a taping of “This Week in Google” recently, Jeff Jarvis and Leo Laporte team up to mock Robert Scoble’s enthusiasm for technology. Scoble was not on the show and thus could not defend himself against the duo’s derisiveness. Watch for yourself to see just how unfair these two old geezers were to Scoble.

Why is Leo always so rude to Sarah Lane?

Why is Leo Laporte always so rude and dismissive to our lovely Sarah Lane? This a question I fear will haunt us forever here at #TotalDrama. Leo’s ill manners are caught once again and captured here in this YouTube clip of the perpetually disparaging Soup Guzzler as he unleashes yet another brash tirade against our winsome Sarah:

Jeff Jarvis is still just an old man

Jeff Jarvis is an old man who has worn out his welcome with the former fans of “This Week in Google.” He was once an engaging, jovial personality. But recently has been infected with the sadness and negativity of the entire TWiT operation. He mostly just whines and yells out grumpy opinions that nobody really wants to hear anymore.

The TWiT livestream is not that much different than this

Sarah Lane’s existence on Wikipedia now completely erased

As far as Wikipedia is concerned, Sarah Lane no longer exists.
As far as Wikipedia is concerned, Sarah Lane no longer exists.

Sarah Lane, who had her Wikipedia page challenged a few weeks ago, has now apparently been completely erased from the encyclopedia of the Internet. The link now leads to an “American ballet dancer” instead of being populated with information about the beloved California-based tech goddess and foil for Leo Laporte’s licentious motives. We mourn for the loss of the real Sarah Lane’s identity. Here’s the impostor’s page on Wikipedia. And please, whatever you do, DO NOT edit this other woman’s page to exact vengeance.
