Same. I just had some unused days, so I figured I would use them up.

This morning, on my way to work, I accidently picked up a hitch-hiker.

Did you think she was a hooker?

How do you accidentally do that? It's not like the hitchhiker jumped in your car and hid in the back seat.....


As for cats, I have no choice but to like them as my girlfriend has a cat and the darn thing is like a kid to her. At least she isn't one of those people that dresses up their animals and embarrasses themselves AND the cat.

Speaking of, I will be spending a few days over the new year's period at her place.

I read it when it broke out yesterday on another site, that roided out Boston meathead got owned big time.

What a douche.

Sad thing is, even though the controller company fired that marketing/advertising company because of that douche. The backlash started, go look at all the Amazon reviews. They're getting slammed hard.

This is the douche in question...

How does a person like that even get to that position?

Well I was up pretty late reading up on it and from what I can tell, dude did it like a movie. Kinda muscled (no pun intended) and bullied his way into that position lol.

A lot of those links, if you follow them all have a lot of company reps saying how they don't understand how he got the position because he's a jerk and likes to bully his way through things.

4 chan or anon are going to have (or have already started) a field day with him. Did you read the letter crying/apologizing to the guy who owns Penny Arcade?

He isn't sorry, just sorry that people got word of this and now he's feeling the Internets backlash.

He dropped his twitter and someone else picked it up making a parody twitter account of his lol. He is in a world of hurt right now. Serves the punk right, you don't treat your customers like he did in those e-mails.

Hopefully the product doesn't get screwed because of this marketing douche.

I read the e-mail where he (or somebody typing for him) apologized to Dave, the customer. I haven't seen the apology to the Penny Arcade founder.

Still, the guy is a bull****ter. I don't see how he made it past the interview process, much less to a point where he has this much clout. He's basically ruined this company's product.


What exactly is the product supposed to do?

Anyway, it is amazing to me how much they've found out about the guy in a day's time. They've gone from youtube videos to message boards.
