This is pure speculation (not unlike every story on TNT), but a Guatemala-base consortium of heart surgeons is now prepared to announce, with 90-percent confidence, that Leo Laporte will succumb to a heart attack in 2016. Click here to follow the countdown clock. For security reasons, the clock can’t be posted on this site.
Sad news to report here from the newsroom at #TotalDrama: The recent California earthquake did not level the facilities at 140 Keller Street as once thought.
The Petaluma-based headquarters of the TWiT network was not destroyed as many had hoped.
Better luck next time tectonic plates—we’re counting on you to do your shakiest shaking in the coming months.
So this past weekend, I decided to take Mike Elgum’s advice and “lock-in” a potential sale of my iPhone on Gazelle. I know there are other ways and other sites that will give me more money for my “used gadget,” but I’ve honestly been happy with the service I’ve received from Gazelle through the years.
Here’s where it gets fun for #TotalDrama fans: In the drop-down menu where it asks where I heard about the service, I chose the “5by5” network. Not TWiT. So I have—if I eventually do sell my iPhone to Gazelle—actively with clear mind and heart, chosen to screw Leo and the gang out of the referral code credit.
I feel so good.
I might need to take a long vacation because “Tech News Today” is seriously grinding my brain into dust with its complete and total refusal to be a professional-looking show.
The only evidence that needs to be presented in the trial of The People v. Elgum:
The verdict is in: GUILTY of gross negligence to the art and science of professional broadcasting on all counts.
The heralded gains in Stitcher ratings have proven short-lived. “Tech News Today” has been spewing countless plugs for people to double subscribe via the Breaking News Maven: Mike Elgum. However, the pitiful begging seems to have resulted in the exact opposite effect. The intended spike has turned into a never-before-seen drop as the
ratings on Stitcher have plummeted to record lows. Not to worry TNT fans, they can always redo the desk or change Gum’s face from orange to lavender.
Having almost nothing to do with TotalDrama, except perhaps a homage to our favourite squatter.
Mike, there’s always an office for you, anywhere, free (for you) and with helpful staff. Fly little bird, please. Somewhere else please, pretty please.
MIke’s favourite sort of place, free space and free coffee.

Telling #Truth is not popular in all quarters. To see just to which length some sick individual will go, you don’t have to look much further than Robert Ballecer’s twitter account. Our previous article documents his lies and intimidation attempts where he mistakenly thinks that photoshopping my face out of a picture (although very creepy) would prevent us from exposing his perverted ways.
Others tried more direct approach. This is an email that has been sent to our hosting provider in an apparent attempt to take #TotalDrama down:
I stumbled upon this post when looking up a colleague:Get yourself together, girlI clicked around the website and noticed some posts were harassing:Lisa wears a skirt for one reason onlyOthers are defaming.Lights Curiously Out on One Particular DropcamPetaluma is not the picturesque paradise that Laporte purportsThe WHOIS shows the site hosted on a Digital Ocean server at 178.62.62.239. Is this allowed? Concerned, Susan Peterson
Good thing our hosting provider values free speech more than an attempted by a random internet troll to shut us down.
The father of hate’s original attempt to stir the community did not rile them to his crusade against the free speech advocates of TotalDrama.org
So he made up a story that [name redacted] was ddosed even though [name redacted] was simultaneously in six irc rooms and on twitter. Failed again.
In his latest attempt, he is actually going so far as to accuse total drama of interfering with suicide prevention. Are accusations of murder far behind?
A SF hotline got heavily trolled by an anti-TWiT troll last night.
Seriously… that's just wrong. Games are game, but there's a line.

He then did another veiled doxing threat against a charter member of td.o. (It is this websites policy not to post doxings so we will not post it, seems nothing is sacred to Padre, #JarvisLogic)
Whats next, expose that richardya is a Brony? Not gonna happen, that closeted passion of his, is well covered under multiple layers of VPN and TOR.
I admit, I was afraid when I saw the threat, but once again the Captain has released a new video and inspired me to fear not!

I counted zero spelling errors in this video so he seems to be doubling down. I say again, I still fear the man coming after us, he is wicked good with computers but I must be brave for the #cause.
A regular #TotalDrama reader alerted us to the following tweet by Robert Ballecer:
Interesting… found out that one of our trolls does most of his trolling from work. hmmmm….

First, lets clarify some of the language here. At TWiT “troll” means “person who disagrees with us in public”. This according to the company owner and soup connoisseur – Leo Laporte.
Ballecer should know that some employers can be very tolerant, so his attempt at extorting the truth teller in question might not work. He is working for one of them. At his workplace child abuse and pedophilia is dealt with by protecting the offenders, moving them around to new safe locations, where other children are in jeopardy of being abused.
For someone who as a priest has jizz more often on his lips than Jesus, Ballecer should really be careful about throwing stones in his glass house. Upcoming “Pervert Robert” Youtube supercut will document the sick things this tormented soul has said live on air, and in various IRC chatrooms, over the past couple of years.
