Lumpmoose: In other words, it has almost nothing to do with Al Gore.

It's almost upsetting how easily you can tell the writer's politics by his choice Gore vs Gingrich.

m0llusk: Al Gore is one of the Furies?

Who knew you could yiff away global warming

We need to send in Torvald to solve this dilemma.

Al Gore! Hello!



Did you see that winter we had? It was crazy!



Al Gore? Where are you going?

So the event has been growing in numbers anyway, and many felt it should already have moved to a larger venue, but Al Gore has ruined the event? Yeah, great article.

The correct answer is:

E) Who Farking Cares!

I AM GORE!! I will DESTROY YOUR PUNY COMIC CONVENTION! RAWR!

queenb4biatch: I'm SUPER CEREAL!!!

It would be cool if Al Gore actually showed up to Comic-Con wearing a ManBearPig costume...

/ not sure if he's that self-deprecating or not...
// probably not...

Las Vegas, here we come.

/srlsy, that is a step up i would think.
//If they want to lose the money(San Fran) who's to argue.

I thought Twilight fans were the-cancer-that's-killing-Comic-Con?

Al Gore: One of the Furies.

"More info after the jump."
Fear.net is big media trying to sound "hip":
Comcast, Sony, Lionsgate.

Article's a troll too, but y'know, whatever.

Why not? The neocons blame everything on commies Nelson Rockefeller libruls Kneegroes feminists environmentalism libruls teh French unions onions secret Mooslims Al Gore.

we was warneded

Nice troll, submitter.

But he's a 10th level Vice-President!

Lumpmoose: In other words, it has almost nothing to do with Al Gore.

yup. It's more about the fact that the convention is too damned big for San Diego now and likely will move to Los Angeles or Las Vegas.

hey, subby, fark you troll.

memebot_of_doom: Nice troll, submitter.

Yep, Al Gore doesn't take up all 1000+ rooms of the Hyatt himself. Or does he?

C'mon, guys. You're really slow today.

For you, you win 10 internets

If you RTFA, its a bunch of enviro-nuts. Gingrich simply plays along with those weirdos, presumably to assure he never wins a Republican Primary again.

wow, i find it hard to believe that there's more money in this than there is in ComicCon. nerds throw a lot of money into their movies, shows, comic books.

Okay, so ONE hotel is hosting the health summit...

No reason not to fill every other hotel and available space in the city with Comic Con and furries and people in bad or strange costumes.

AND THEN you go to the lobby of the health summit. Show them they can't trample the masses.

I'd rather have a hotel full of rich white people and the people they draw then a bunch of linux programmers wearing their WoW costumes and holding anime parties.

Why wouldn't it be in Vegas anyway? Better location in so many ways.

texdent: Is this where we come to post hot women in costume?

Yes. Please do.

Oh, wait... No, I don't care. sorta. ...whatever.

I had no intention of clicking on the link until you said that. When referring to "large-breasted girl(s)" in the future kindly note that they appear only in random ads if that is the case.

/in other words, don't be a dick

Haha sorry about that... now the ad features some guy in brown overalls. Come back big boobied zombie shirt girl!

Trolls? People who throw out the term "troll", are trolls. Troll

the SDCC was already getting too large, even before Al Gore was around to "blame" for this new health care conference.

living in San Diego, i've read many a news story where local residents were tired of putting up with Comic-Con, despite the ridonkuous amounts of money it brings the city and the benign convention attendees. unfortunately, San Diego itself is not a major metropolis like NYC, where the NYC Comic-Con is huge but makes for a drop in the bucket compared to the entire city.

i'd personally like the SDCC to stay where it is (because i can just drive into downtown), and i'm wondering why the Hyatt went ahead and agreed to holding the conference at the same time, rather than try to stagger the dates, but i can understand people wanting to move Comic-Con out of SD.

implying Al Gore is to blame is a really REALLY bad red herring.

StampedingElephant: If you RTFA, its a bunch of enviro-nuts.

The American Hospital Association is a bunch of "enviro-nuts"? What the hell?

So instead of Darth Vader and Spiderman we are getting Newt Gingrich and Al Gore.. Sounds like they are simply trading one group of nerds for another.

No problem...

Uh, no. Maybe you should actually RTFA yourself dumbass.

I agree, this is an outrage. They should move it to Austin, TX.
