I don’t know anything about anything here, like “inside.” I saw the little picture with this item, and I read the hedline and I thought “Bleah, I’m not reading this one,” because this was gonna be a deal where somebody makes fun of this guy, like with that chick from England or Britain or whatever who was ready to have a show on MTV, I think, and then like a few months later she was gone. Or it was gonna be like something from The Onion, which is also too smart for me to enjoy without sounding out the comedy-math on every equation-gag. That’s all on me, the Onion is funny, OK? It just makes me tired to read it sometimes. So I wasn’t gonna read this piece until I saw how many comments it had, holy crap! Look at how many comments, so I gotta reasd this shit. And then all the comments, bleah. Look, I am way Less Intelligent and Sophisticated than the average Awl reader, and the only thing that really stood out was when that lady said “IRL.” It took me a minute to unpack that one and then I wondered if people really talk like that. They must, right? It made me feel judgmental about people who speak like that. The facts presented in this piece are Interesting to me, and I am generally not interested in crap like this. Reading about this person and his new job of aggregating teevee stuff and making comments about it was Interesting to me. The background information about his life was like, “wow, this kid is fucking MOTIVATED, man, fucking total Coffee Achiever.” The quote about how his personal relationship got in the way of his work was kinda sad, but I don’t feel sorry for this guy. He is a Go-Getter, Doing Things. I don’t look at GAWKER TV because I am too busy watching teevee, and I thought maybe this would make me interested in looking at GAWKER TV, but I’m not and I probably won’t. I am in no position to judge anyone’s writing about anything, but I would just like to say I thought this was interesting to read, and if you give people facts, they get to make up their own minds. Thank you.
