@Conchie Birdie: Well dressing up like Kevin Rose is easy by comparison, all you need is a backwards hat, some headphones and a striped t-shirt. To dress up a Zuckerberg you'd have to buy a brown zip-up hoodie and smash you face against a wall for a solid hour. #thisthinglookslikethatthing
@Conchie Birdie: I'm a white guy with no fashion sense- apparently I look like a million-billionaire!
Fuck. This is kinda depressing, but in addition to looking kinda like an older version of them, I use facebook and read digg.
Who started Gawker? Lemme guess: white guy in a stupid T-shirt, probably younger than me.
whats up homie. #thisthinglookslikethatthing
The man on the left side is clearly an aging sex addict, while Bernie Madoff is an aged Jew. Let me elaborate on why the picture on the left could not possibly be, under any circumstances, Bernie Madoff:
1) Chin/Jowl structure. Bernie looks like a sad old cartoon bulldog in any picture taken in the last ten years. Our man on the left has a clean chin and no cheek jowls to obliterate the clear line up to his ear, probably the work of a good surgeon.
2) Noses. They have similar noses, both have a pronounced arch. However, it is clearly observable that the nose of the man on the left is much bigger and more pointed on the end. This would have actually taken plastic surgery to fix, which, by looking at any picture of Madoff recently, we can know that he has never had.
3) Eyes. The man on the left has sharp angles all round his eyes, whereas Madoff's entire eye socket is in a different position on his face and also far more rounded. This is to me the clearest evidence that they are not the same.
4) Musculature. The man on the left, despite the shoulder pads in his coat, clearly works out on a regular basis, and has the body of a fit 40 something year old. Madoff is far later along in his life, and in his natural stance his shoulders would never be thrown so far back.
Finally, and as the most damning thing I can say against Gawker's sloppy reporting, I want to point out that Bernie Madoff accumulated his billions by cultivating an image of a reclusive intellect, the sort of man you had to pursue through country clubs and in high society. He was well known in every important Jewish-American circle, and we all know Jews are a conservative bunch. Under no circumstances would someone like that dress up like a cheap pimp. That is amateur hour bullshit, the sort of thing you'd expect from a realtor, or a frat boy.
Please, I beseech the Gawker staff to imagine a situation in which Bernie Madoff would dress up like a pimp. Obviously, you cannot.
Ryan, I like you, but seriously why the fuck is this on the front page? You should be able to figure this out on your own. It's not him, don't be a fucko, get rid of this article immediately or you should actually lose your job.
@ChivasMcSadSack: Did you not catch the part about the picture on the left being from 1999? That takes care of most of your points, and the picture being taken from a different angle, with different lighting, and with the subject wearing glasses takes care of the rest.
@ChivasMcSadSack: I would run yur remark about Jews being conservative past Robin Williams, Adam Sandler, half of the Ramones and all of Kiss the the Three Stooges.
I think we should make a new meme out of that. I'll print up the T-shirts:
"Don't be a fucko."
Or maybe better yet: "Don't be a fucko, Bucko."
P.S. Your suggestion that Ryan should lose his job over something like this is ridiculous. Who gives a fuck if the pictures aren't really the same guy? This is meant to a light-hearted post. Ryan's just trying to have a little fun here.
@ChivasMcSadSack: Actually, this Jewess thinks that the eyebrows and noses match exactly. The eyes, chin and smile are pretty good matches but harder to call.
Regarding the impossibility of conservative Jews mocking the sex trade by dressing as pimps: I invite you to spend a weekend at Tulane.
@BookishLookish: What he knows about Country Clubs and what passes for High Society could fit in the crack of my no-where-near-as-curvacious white ass. Because the behavior indicated by that Pimp-costume photo would be considered AWFULLY tame.
Last night was in the words of Fey's daughter "A whole lot of suck". Seriously people! that opening monologue was so lame the audience was hardly laughing. I was amused with Tina Fey but it's kind of like cheating to have somebody you worked with for years in hopes of laughs.
The 'internet video of the day' wasn't funny, neither was the dancing guy. I think it's one step away from America's funniest home videos but worse.
I don't dislike Fallon, I see where he's trying but his way of speaking is slightly annoying. I agree Conan is a tough act to follow but he had presence and his voice carried where as with Fallon, his presence just doesn't shine yet.
I bet the executives thought "let's get that good looking guy behind the camera" and ran with it. I truly wish Fallon the best of luck because he will need it.
Still offering benefit of the doubt, but where is Fallon from? He seemed to have trouble with "The Triangle Below Canal Street Film Festival" on night one and "Totowa" last night. Tina Fey was great (if overexposed, in several senses of the word), Bon Jovi strangely slow to get down there and help that poor off-key girl out, and, happily, no appliance were licked! What happens when Fallon runs out of good friends to interview? (Might actually help.)
And while I'm at it? Devil's Avocado? Mine. It wasn't ANYWHERE on the net before me. NOWHERE (nb: shouty caps). Also? Casting nasturtiums? Mine. MINE, I tell you. ALL MINE. I'll be watching.
I couldn't help but think of that Homer Simpson line, "Oh, I get it! I get jokes!" It would have been better if she had just interviewed herself. Fallon sounded like a stoned parrot with Asperger's syndrome.
I'm going to start rounding up small children and getting them to look at websites and writing all they say down. Nothing can go wrong with this set-up!
