Whats the deal with Curry?

[whoflungpoo3]

This is the second time Adam Curry from the Daily Source code has said disparaging comments about the Diggnation guys. The first time he was making fun of Kevin’s' breaking of the iphone, now he’s jealous of the Virgin deal. What did they do to piss in his cornflakes?

[magunwarrior]

Oh I thought you meant the food :p

Adam Curry despises anything that reminds him that he's not the center of internet delivered media. He should be ignored.

[silentspyder]

In all fairness didn't the guys say somethings about him in some older episodes? Or is my mind making stuff up?

[yourestillmycaesar]

HA, they made fun of him in one of the opening ads a few months ago. It was pretty funny.

So what's Curry done this time? Anyone care to link to something?

[artofwar420]

Curry is delicious. :D

[yourestillmycaesar]

Curry is delicious. :D

Indeed it is. Adam Curry, however, not so much. :D

[magunwarrior]

No I would think not :D

[tokenuser]

Curry is delicious. :DAdam Curry is the nasty one ... the one that keeps you up all night ... worshipping "Huey - the porcelain god of self important E list celebrities".

Curry = glory whore. He's like Al Gore was with the internet, searching for an official declaration that he invented pocasting...only more pompous and annoying. The man couldn't get over himself if his life depended on it.

We should lock him and Tom Cruise in a room together and make them out crazy each other.

All he did was call Kevin Rose out about how he was wrong about the insider info on the iPhone a while back, and joked about how Virgin gave Diggnation a plane and all they gave him was a red iPod.

Why's everyone shitting their pants over it? Alex and Kevin said much worse about him and the Podshow guys.

Im sorry...I just can't take someone with the name WifeBeater seriously...

[jjallday]

I know it was the 80s and all, but his hair was unreasonably awesome.

I know I'm a nerd when I can read that l33t as if they were regular words, I think I have a problem.

Haha - that and my !337 was lacking that first go round. I had to think harder just to fix it. Damn that crap's annoying to type.

Something about the way Curry says things which rubs me up the wrong way. He comes across in that insecure yet driven, sarcastic but humourless kid kind of personality - like a much better looking Steve Ballmer. He compounds that with his actions elsewhere. I don't like him much. Who knows, he may be a good guy if you know him personally but Alex and Kevin always project very open personalities in their broadcasts and I'd much rather I listen to what they have to say.

[dremmy]

What was it that Kevin and Alex said about him? Anyone know what episode it was?
