• Commented on Owner of trendy Manhattan restaurant Paradou plumbs new depths of evil bad-bossitude
  What a country! Also, AsteriskCGY I think Gordon Ramsey is a tons saner than this Vadim Ponorovsky moron. At least Gordon Ramsey has a clear/sane vision for his tirades. He has a logic. Vadim Ponorovsky ripping his staff a new...
• Commented on Owner of trendy Manhattan restaurant Paradou plumbs new depths of evil bad-bossitude
  Well, I never said he was a pioneer for workers rights or a nice guy ;) But if there is an idea that this guy owns a whole slew of restaurants past Paradou that is 100% incorrect. Will say this:...
• Commented on Owner of trendy Manhattan restaurant Paradou plumbs new depths of evil bad-bossitude
  emilydickinsonridesabmx, you have mixed up two different things. Vadim does not own any of the restaurants on your list. But those restaurants have issues because they underpay staff. I think you got the impression he did own them from an...
• Commented on More on YouTube phenom Justin, aka "Tsimfuckis" aka "Chick3n Little"
  Oh and reading BB staff and moderators tripping over themselves to justify this is thrillingly disturbing. C’mon folks, denial ain’t just a river in Egypt. You’re exploiting this kid and patting yourself on the back....
• Commented on More on YouTube phenom Justin, aka "Tsimfuckis" aka "Chick3n Little"
  @#2 POSTED BY XENI JARDIN @Jack, Tsimfuckus certainly doesn't think of himself in the cruel terms you use -- your comment is judgemental and mean. I think he's getting revenue from the YouTube channel, too, which is totally awesome. Can...
• Commented on More on YouTube phenom Justin, aka "Tsimfuckis" aka "Chick3n Little"
  Xeni, if BoingBoing readers wanted to go to 4Chan or FARK they would do that. I come here for posts that are smarter, more intelligent and rise above the “look at the freak” fray. And yes, this is simply a...
• Commented on Dave Hill's Chihuahua Dance
  Dave Hill blows....
• Commented on Bullshit about newspapers' future, dissected
  People will pay, but not for content as much as ease of use and easy access to content. Yes, some crappy blog can do shoddy reporting on local events and then link to other real newspapers, but if you tell...
• Commented on Odd photo of the week
  Sculpture, schmulpture. I hope the ham sandwich with the messenger bag realizes his jeans are sad and we don't need to see his buns....
• Commented on Justin (aka "Tsimfuckis," aka "Tsimfuckus," aka "chick3n little.")
  I'd like to now thank Boing Boing for posting an update that explains these videos are not by the kid who made them, but rather by a bunch of idiots who are simply mocking this guy. As for #43 (STEAUENGEGLASE)'s...
• Commented on Justin (aka "Tsimfuckis," aka "Tsimfuckus," aka "chick3n little.")
  @#27: ANONYMOUS umm no! everyones a freak show, had he been an average healthy teenager no one would think much of him being a youtube user like other teenagers ect. Really? You said it yourself "had he been an average...
• Commented on Justin (aka "Tsimfuckis," aka "Tsimfuckus," aka "chick3n little.")
  Look folks: It's a freakshow. Pretending it isn't is ironic hipster denial. And here is what is sad. He clearly deleted his videos because he no longer wanted the attention. But folks are reposting this stuff against his will and...
• Commented on Countrywide founder accused of insider trading
  He looks like a cleanly shaved version of Dr. Zaius....
• Commented on Iranian media mistakes Kasper Hauser comedy group as a "virtual reality 'terrorist' group," of "cyber hackers"
  @#13, Davin, yes I have seen their work and heard their performances... Not funny. If you ever need another copy of “SkyMaul” I can score a few from the local thirft shop. Maybe $2 totes?...
• Commented on Iranian media mistakes Kasper Hauser comedy group as a "virtual reality 'terrorist' group," of "cyber hackers"
  Isn't comedy supposed to be funny?...
• Commented on What the world needs now is more shiv cosies
  Cute, but I doubt most folks who think this looks sexy has any clue how to handle a knife and not hurt themselves....
• Commented on Canadian cinema fined $10,000 for privacy invasion over bag-search
  At the premiere of "The Phantom Menace", a pal sitting in front of me dropped her bottle of booze. I noticed it and picked it up right as some local newspaper guy was taking a picture of our rows. All...
• Commented on Steve Martin and the Muppets
  Excellent! FWIW, in the "comedy" community, Steve Martin is typically given a load of crap because... He plays banjo... That's it. It's incredibly refreshing to see a blog actually praise and enjoy this guy's talent. He is my hero....
• Commented on "We did not know that child abuse was a crime," says retired Catholic archbishop
  @#43 POSTED BY ESCAPINGTHETRUNK, MAY 22, 2009 11:41 PM No one wants to accuse the entirety of the Catholic priesthood of abuse. That would be absurd. But numbers can help clarify matters. Well, might I just say this: If you...
• Commented on "We did not know that child abuse was a crime," says retired Catholic archbishop
  Not Catholic, but Jewish and faced this kind of asinine logic growing up. I was not a victim of sexual abuse at the hands of religious folks, but siblings of mine who found religion ("born again" for lack of a...
• Commented on Do you make chiptunes? Help us score these retro-videos.
  Brandon, I trust you on this. But will say: It’s not every day one gets to see great raw footage of Atari Home Computer users. As a proud owner of an 400, 800 and then an 800xl back in the...
• Commented on Do you make chiptunes? Help us score these retro-videos.
  So with all the talk on BoingBoing about creative commons licensing and "copyfight" is there a reason why the raw footage of these videos are not simply digitized and released to the public so individual users can edit/sync things their...

  Finally, a way to get those damned kids off of the lawn!...
• Commented on Video: <em>Space Invaders</em>, the carnival game
  This is absolutely awesome! Set this up as a real carnival game and man, it will be popular....
• Commented on Jesse Ventura on The View
  How about Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Jesse Ventura get waterboarded and then record/present their reactions afterwards. Seriously....
• Commented on Minimum font-size for credit card fine-print
  #8 POSTED BY NOSEHAT Ha ha, you are right! Except from different perspectives. I was on the side of the nerd minority who insists on reading these things, and you were in the sensible camp who have better things to...
• Commented on Minimum font-size for credit card fine-print
  @#5 POSTED BY NOSEHAT: Jinx! Since we said the same thing essentially. If you think that's something, the only time I ever felt it was truly worth my time to read fine print was when my mother and father were...
• Commented on Minimum font-size for credit card fine-print
  Is that a good thing? Maybe for the U.S. Postal Service, but I don't see this as a plus for consumers since the legalese is unreadable. Anyone who has an IRA or 401K gets mailings of dense legalese every few...
• Commented on Montreal cop cuffs, busts and fines student $450 for not holding escalator rail in subway
  Why are people complaining about "language" laws in Canada when the U.S. seems to have it's own issues with tolerance and acceptance, mi amigo. Comprende?...
• Commented on Drew Friedman fine art prints
  @#6 POSTED BY IRWIN CHUSID: I never said one could simply print this on their own. Straw man argument at best. We appreciate Jack offering to set our catalog prices for us. We are understaffed and could use some administrative...
