    Man, I'm completely with you on the total overuse of "crazy."


    In my experience, truly crazy people (whether of the eccentric or paranoid-schizophrenic variety) don't have to tell you they're crazy; you can see it in nanoseconds. Besides, they DON'T KNOW they're crazy.


    People who tell you how "crazy" they are are invariably the most middle-of-the-road, humdrum examples of humanity walking around.


    Somewhere in their subconscious, they know they're extraordinarily average and want desperately to convince you they're wacky rule-breakers.


    Want proof? Just observe a bunch of Young Republicans on any random weekend night. A more disgustingly mediocre group of people you'll never find--nor a group which will refer to itself as "crazy" more often.


    Getting shitfaced and throwing up on some poor bastard's car parked outside the bar does not make you "crazy."

    @crankymediaguy: I've generally found this to be true of some people in Xtian teen youth groups, too. It turns out that by their lights, they are all a bunch of crazy rebellious mavericks.

    What is interesting to me (as an actual journalist and published author who has -- yes -- been on national televion several times) is that they seem to have no comprehension as to how ghastly they really are.

    The coverage you have seen of CES has been most of the "fun" opportunities we've had. The reason it hasn't been particulary tech heavy is because we are actually focused on making professional videos for sponsors.


    Blogging about tech specs is close to impossible on the fly, and we have not had a moment to sit in front of our computers.


    Next week, we will all have breakdowns of our favorite new technologies and gadgets in great depth.


    Please be patient, we can only do so many things at once.

    @Trixie from Toronto: Interesting. I'm curious about these videos too. Are these videos to entertain the geeky tech workers at these companies? Are these videos for commercials? Are they simply the "entertainment"? I know they filmed some soap opera videos for Kodak. Was it just to showcase the equiptment for Kodak? Thus, they provided themselves as eye candy? Someone make this make sense to me!

    Words fail me. The three twats apparently went to CES with no game plan, no intention of explaining to viewers WHAT exactly goes on at this exciting convention; rather, we get Julia Allison dancing around as though she's a college freshman and this is is first keggger. Not to mention snaps of JA and her ass-pursed lips next to MC Fucking Hammer. Bet Arianna Huffington regrets taking this fraud anywhere.

    The sad and yet hilarious thing is that JA apparently believes herself to actually be a journalist. Remember when she went to the strip joint and blathered on about "gonzo" journalism.


    Had Hunter S. Thompson still been among us and seen that vapid twat so badly misusing the term, he would have asked them to shoot him out of the cannon while he was still alive.

    30 viewers in their little Mogulus live segment. And still nothign has made it to air. 30. viewers. One of which is Charles Forman. Looking to watch you ex crash and burn, dear?


    What were execs at Kodak and Cisco thinking by sponoring them. They have NO TRAFFIC.

    @EffCarrie Bradshaw: Someone on the Question of the Day part of the site just said "everyone should write a strongly worded letter to both Kodak and Cisco about this. I'm embarrassed for them that they put so little thought into who and what they were sponsoring."


    A commenter named John Doerr who, if the handle is true, is a Silicon Valley VC, responded, "I had this same thought and called John Chambers [Cisco's COB and CEO] on his cell phone to call me back. My daughter reads this page and she said, 'Dad somethings gone wrong, it's like porn!' We do read this kind of stuff and get our kids input before funding anything!!"


    The NS girls have the intern delete unflattering comments so these nuggets will disappear soon, I am sure. But I have a hunch things are about to get interesting (finally!).

    @EffCarrie Bradshaw: Wow. This is a spectacular failure. The one event that they might have been able to leverage as proof of potential monetization and they lipdubbed, posted pictures of themselves and went to the porn convention? Epic failure of the sponsors' money, even Kodak.


    How do you go to one of the more interesting trade conventions, in one of the more entertaining cities in the country, and make it all pictures of them?


    I used to think that Meghan would be the first to jump ship, but she doesn't have the confidence. I think even Mary now realizes that she hitched herself to the wrong wagon. JA is easily the most unlikable one of the group. Easily.

    Aich, yeah. People who refer to themselves as "crazy" make me want to hack them into little bits with a big old cleaver and fling the bits all over the street, stomping upon them, squishing them under my heel, while simultaneously defecating and furiously masturbating, screaming screaming screaming because oh dear lord oh dear god these people give crazy a bad name I mean what am I doing all this work for why do I even bother getting out of bed why was I even born if all it takes is for these chicks to go to a product fair and suddenly they are batshit insane and dammit dammit dammit.
