Tired of hearing him talk about his millions invested

What are you smiling about fatboy?

I am so tired of hearing him talk about all the millions of dollars from his personal funds that he has invested. The company is profitable, the company has been profitable for years. The amount he has put in has already been paid back. His half truths are so fucking misleading. He has disclosed how much money he makes from podcasting and how much he makes from the shitty radio show for octogenarians. (No offense gramps.)  We know what he makes. Putting a portion of profits into your company is something every business owner does. “All his shows make money and all the other hosts’ shows lose money.” Can we see the spreadsheet your girlfriend put together that backs that nonsense up? Does he understand the halo effect?

F. YOU LAPORTE!

No African-American woman has ever been on TNT

Just a little note to let everyone know that TNT has NEVER had an African-American woman on as a guest or co-host. What’s with this bias in tech reporting? A white man hosting a show that won’t have a black woman on in 2014 is just plain lazy or racist. But either way, it’s not good. #ComeOnPeople

It’s not that hard to find qualified women of color. Why, there’s even a website dedicated to these wonderful women:

One of the biggest complaints…

One of the biggest complaints of #TotalDrama members is that Leo Laporte and the gang over at TWiT purport to run a “family-friendly” network. But if you ever watch the livestream, the entire broadcast day is filled with inappropriate moments. That’s all great…because we’re adults and we can handle it. But the chatroom won’t allow any off-color humor. You’re not even allowed to repeat what Leo just said without getting kicked or permanently banned. I hate hypocrisy. So here’s a little taste of the “family-friendly” Leo Laporte:

A Sonnet I just wrote:

mike-elgan

My mistress’ eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral is far more red than her lips’ red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damasked, red and white,
But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight
Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;
My mistress when she walks treads on the ground.
     And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
     As any she belied with false compare.
