Drew, did they chase you off Fark? We heart you!

Jon Stewart to Reddit: you don't matter (new window) was my favorite headline of the week.

Unfreakable: Golfer Melissa Reid bitten by snake between holes. Sounds like she should have tightened up her stance a little

...is definitely in consideration for HOY in Sports.

Excellent!

ignatiusst: Jon Stewart to Reddit: you don't matter (new window) was my favorite headline of the week.

Seconded.

No (additional) posting from Drew today, although I expect he'll be posting again later this week.

Did you have to taze and tranquilize him? Can't say I don't blame you - the man was completely out of control yesterday - poor sod.

They need to re-title it to "You'll get over it." and then its got my vote.

Not like the headlines weren't alcohol-induced before; now they just pay money for it.

I don't get the Jon Stewart headline thing. He never said those words or implied that, and why the hell did that thread get 2000 posts? I'm so confused.

OK I was going to make a snarky post about you messing up your post and I messed mine up. I guess I deserved that.

I like the Texas A&M one

Yeah.. I noticed that after I hit "post".. I have a pretty short attention span, so I'll probably post the same again in next week's HotW blog, so it'll all even out.

2,000? Not even close.

I love that the final comment in the "drill bit in skull" headline was a Happy Noodle Boy comic. Brought me back to a younger... angstier time.

/Thanks, Brainsick
//Wonders if that JTHM comic is still sitting on his shelf somewhere.

And to answer your question: Because Drew wrote the source article and posted in the thread repeatedly like a monkey on PCP throwing poop.

The owner of Reddit asked if the Internet was instrumental in getting the rally going. Stewart and Colbert thanked the site owner for his monetary donations and brushed the internet off as "it didn't hurt" the rally.

To me, it sounded like Stewart and Colbert think that ONLY their 11:00-12:00 slot was instrumental in organizing people and resources. No Facebook posts, no Huffington Post, no Fark, no Reddit, no 4chan, no nothing. Just the time slot they use on CC supplied turnout numbers.

The Reddit owner was fishing for a reply of something like "It was a rally for the people, by the people. The people used the Internet to help pull together resources to make this happen and give us a good turnout." instead he got "it didn't hurt" and a "WTF is this shiat" look. This was after they made fun of him being a blogger.

I mean seriously, you don't think that's a little arrogant?

Unfreakable: (...)
Also a bunch of headlines I saved that for the new Context Headline contest this year. That one will be awesome as long as the links are still available next month.

"Context" headline of the year? Like taking something out of context? Wouldn't that just be word play?

The Portia and Ellen one IMHO

Uhm, ignoring the Derp here, the person actually asked how the internet affected the decision to hold the rally. Which as they said it provided affirmation that the rally should be held after they'd already decided to do it. Donor here and Drew went overboard and completely misread the question and we got 3000 posts of people telling them to stop being stupid.

This. It's not often you see Drew plant his foot that firmly in his mouth.

wtf are you going on about? From Comedy Central's response to Drew's rant:

If only there were somebody from Reddit to explain exactly how red hot their anger is over this slight. Like, maybe Reddit admin Mike "Raldi" Schiraldi...

I appreciate Drew Curtis' looking out for us, but honestly, we had a great time and don't really care about who gets the credit.

At "best", we convinced Comedy Central to pull the trigger on something they were kicking around indecisively and might have otherwise not done.

At "worst", they were totally committed to doing it anyway and we "just" pulled off an incredible donation movement for a really good cause, beefed up attendance numbers, and got to meet hundreds of redditors in person.

I think I speak for all the staff when I say that we love Jon and Stephen, regret nothing, and don't feel anyone owes us an apology.

Edit: That said, Fark is cool and we like Drew. : )

Drew seemed arrogant yesterday, Redditt seemed sane.

Congratulations - you are now in a select club; those people who completely misinterpreted S&C's statements, and are continuing to misrepresent them, despite ample clarification as to how Jon and Stephen were both genuinely thankful when taken in context.

I have visions of Drew's impotent little index fingers-of-rage hunting-and-pecking their way through that blog post.

Don't forget the mild frothing at the mouth; not because he's rabid or ranting, but because he's taking these rapid, angry swigs of beer that then result in overfoam spilling out. ;)

Will YOU PEOPLE just GET OVER IT already!!!!

GOSH!!!

I dunno man, I've watched that video a couple times and I still feel a back-handed compliment from them. Maybe my definition of the Internet is different.
