Interesting guest... I find it a little ironic that he has a blog(and a book) on which he rants about the internet. What makes his opinion more valid than those he complains about? Is fox news a reliable source of news because they have high production values? I don't think he gives enough credit to users of the internet and assumes that all will be immediately fooled by any random blogger he/she might see. One might as well complain about crazy homeless guys yelling that the world is going to end. In my opinion some of the worst offenders of misinformation and spin are the companies with the most paid editors and the most people to please. The idea that money and "professionalism" will result in more accuracy is laughable.

Alright so tell me how funny was Chuck Siu's inspiration
"Technical Lingo"
1. "If you were a digg story you'd be on the front page"
2. "let me show you what p2p really means"
3. "I just got FIOS, and I'm willing to share my bandwidth with you"
i cracked up as soon as i heard that.
also the bloppers were quite funny too.

STILL shitting pants over "The Boob".
I've honestly watched the segment of the show with the bad brainstormed ideas around 15 times now....along with the bloopers.
Moujan, don't be upset if your mom saw the bloopers...there wasn't anything wrong with them...I'm sure she would've gotten a laugh as well.

DudeSiren was hilarious! (But I'm a girl, and appreciate PopSiren for it's extreme awesomeness, so don't ever change!)
Just realized Sarah was wearing an x-play shirt in that little Dude Siren segment. Oh TechTV!
