Angels fans are the worst fans in the world. They left in the 6-7th to beat traffic, and their only response to our banner was a well-dressed Saddle-back looking couple calling us "fagggggots."

Really.

You're team is getting crushed and you're response is to sit their quietly until a yankee fan takes out a banner... then show your simple-minded bigotry.

Really.... see you at the World Series! #jasoncalacanis

(btw, I think it's "Pseudo.com" .. at least I hope it is) -- and what's funny is that there's a pic of a naked girl from that video where naked girls are walking around some European city, juxtaposed above an ad for Baby Einstein products .. bonk. #jasoncalacanis

@lobstr: My brain still has a hard time accepting that some of those SoHo lofts were still sweatshops back when I was a teen in the 1980s and are now vanity gyms for baseball players. #jasoncalacanis

I won't waste my time with the stupid video.

These two (among many) seem to amazingly come up with some attention-getting emotional stunts just at about the time they need to draw attention to some money-making activity.

I find their revelations about technology often not so revelatory.

I'd rather get my information from technologists who have subsequently learned journalism than from journalists (and other non-tech backgrounds) who struggle to understand technology having never "done it".

Sounds like it could be another feud of Biggie-Tupac proportions, but with pasty white doofuses.

How was it this year? I saw a little of the ustream live feed - the comments were particularly harsh and the companies were mostly lead-gen or, just, not thought out - Sprowtt?! really?

Also a lot of half-price/free ticket type offers leading up to the event. Tough environment.

Seriously, if the school house rock guys need the 50 cents they'll make from the 12 people who clicked on "when a bill becomes a law" when I posted it on my blog 2 years ago, that's just too pathetic for words, really.

And so it begins. This time it's not the evil old RIAA or MPAA, it's an organization that actually makes sure content creators get paid.

I love this. Soon, everyone will have to pay for every bit of content they consume. Finally.

@Ricki-Oh: Sure, i'd gladly pay the content creator. But some faceless organization that takes 80% of the fees and sends the creator 20%? not so much.

@Moonshine Mike: Individual creators do not have the time or the means to track the use of their work and that's why these organizations exist. PS: Where did you get the 80/20 split info...or did you just make that up?

Would ASCAP please start with the lyrics sites that hit you with 10 popups and then won't let you surf away?

So music videos mostly they are after?

I blame celebrity deaths for my shortcomings all the time. Sadly, though, blaming last night's whiskey dick on the passing of Billy Mays did nothing to assuage my girlfriend that I'm not gay.

I guess clicking on the link and seeing i'm on dumpy regional jet would be too much work?

Regardless, I'm here in one piece and you'll be glad to know that your evil overlord and I are spending some quality time together (I'm just saying).

The person calling seems very reluctant to answer the question as to what happened... *perhaps* because the answer might be something like "Well, Michael Jackson's personal doctor shot him up with demerol... and Jackson's been taking prescription drugs as well. We didn't want to call 9/11 immediately because than you might find out we were giving a bunch of drugs we shouldn't have been."

It's what's left out of the call..... *perhaps* MJ was murdered by a drug dealer with an MD??? Shades of Anna Nicole Smith anyone?

Listened to it and WTF? A doctor on scene who it is assumed is doing CPR with the patient in a bed? That does NOTHING. It would make chest compressions ineffective.

The 911 operator was right to have them move him to the floor, but wrong that this doc supersedes his better judgment in this situation. Crikey! Now I'm sick about this all over again.
