Poor Ben.
He just wants to take his work seriously!
]]>nor am I on a high horse
And yet.
but at least you're doing a little bit more than sitting there defending the poor weak, helpless, lesser sex from all the evil Internet horrors they don't kow exist and that they're not prepared for.]]>
@solareclipse2: Hey, I think I love you!
]]>Thanks, pop. You're swell.
]]>@MudkipNPC: Pork or Non-player?: I'm not trying to change any subject, nor am I on a high horse, I've already said it'd take something super amusing to get me to consider donating anything. I'm egging all of you fakers with your fake concern and your fake bravado and fake shows of support on to show that you're nothing but a bunch of showboating hypocrits. So far GitEmSteveDave is the only one to try and prove me wrong.
]]>No wait, they're both jerks. Never mind.
]]>"Throw in at least a dollar and leave an (honest) comment here that you did and that you don't want to be included with the rest of us dicks. Don't wanna? Nah, I didn't think so. You just wanna get on your high horses, sound all offended, and give your little sermons, then you'll turn around and make similar jokes in your little circles, but you won't go beyond that. Will ya?"
Then why don't you get off YOUR high horse and actually donate something as well? And stop trying to change the subject, this had nothing to do with your original (now disemvoweled) comment.
]]>@PartOfIMAXConspiracy_GitEmSteveDave: Yeah, you definitely are, and you're enjoying it too, but at least you're doing a little bit more than sitting there defending the poor weak, helpless, lesser sex from all the evil Internet horrors they don't kow exist and that they're not prepared for. Now if you can just spur 10% of the millions of visitors you mentioned to join in with you and donate too then you might accomplish something real.

Thank you for your contribution.Thanks for putting money in the tip jar! Nice one! You, my friend, have just rocked our world.
Donation Information: Card Type: Visa Authorization Number: 0X51XA Amount: 20.00 Date: 05/13/09 Personal
@PersonalBest: Have they now? Less than $8000 in the tip jar for a site that PartOfIMAXConspiracy_GitEmSteveDave says "gets MILLIONS of hits, possibly daily if not certainly weekly." It doesn't seem to me that too many people are donating. Either that or the average donation is a few cents.
Super fucking offensive? You really make me laugh my ass off. I have four sisters I've listened to for decades. They've have dozens of friends that I've listened to for years. I have and have had dozens of female friends in my life. I have heard so much smut, and so many racy comments, from them - not to mention the myriad women I've listened to on the street, in restaurants and clubs, in college and the like - that I truly doubt you can find more than one out of a million women who haven't said a hundred things a hundred times more offensive each. Meg included I'm sure. The only difference is I wrote it here and she might have said ick, ewww, yuck, I can't believe someone actually said that in the comments.
Yeah, it is an off color comment, a little too so given the nature of the site and all, but let's get real it's not the idea that's offensive but the posting of it. You know that everyone standing on their pulpit right now is guilty of much, much, more offensive thoughts and comments and acts... just not here.
]]>@squinko: Truth be told, yes I would, not because I'm into that kind of thing, but because I'd be impressed by his williness to step outside the box.
For what it's worth if it ain't free I don't view it. The money I spend on the internet is only for material goods and services which again leads me to state that a silly video of Ben and Meg sneaking through the halls isn't gonna inspire me, or the very vast majority of others for that matter, to donate. Ben and Meg are gonna have to truly shock, entertain, or amaze us to grab our dollars.
If you, any of you, don't want to be included in "us" let's see you prove it by donating. Throw in at least a dollar and leave an (honest) comment here that you did and that you don't want to be included with the rest of us dicks. Don't wanna? Nah, I didn't think so. You just wanna get on your high horses, sound all offended, and give your little sermons, then you'll turn around and make similar jokes in your little circles, but you won't go beyond that. Will ya?
totally the topic of some rude as hell comments up and amongst this post. Great video, guys!
]]>@Elcheecho: It ends seriously
]]>No need to apologize on behalf of our gender though. He does NOT speak on behalf of all guys. He is just a random creep who happens to be a male.
]]>@squinko: Now THAT certainly would convince me to donate again!
]]>I'll donate again down the road.
]]>Would you be willing to donate if Ben was seductively washing a car, wearing a banana hammock? (Now there's an idea! ;)
]]>@Jenkinsbball: Seriously man. I was thinking "wow she's cute. Maybe I should write a comment that says 'wow meg's cute.'", but then you crawled out of your mom's basement with that post.
Dude - boundaries.
]]>For what it is worth, I apologize on behalf of my gender for jerks like this.
]]>Meg is the Co-Executive Editor of a website that gets MILLIONS of hits, possibly daily if not certainly weekly. She is an intelligent person who also happens to be a woman. If you have no respect for her gender, than at least have some for what she has/is accomplishing along with her colleagues on a daily basis.
Sorry for getting so nasty, but there is a line, and you crossed it.
]]>@Jenkinsbball: Ban, please! Trolls like this douchebag contribute nothing.
]]>The blog post, not the comment. I can see the confusion, though.

]]>Does this qualify for a disemvowling or is the ban hammer needed?
]]>@theblackdog: Hey, the consumerist is competing for my Internet dollars, they need to step up to the plate with their "A" game. We're in a recession you know - I only have so many to spend, and I have to put them where they best meet my needs.
Oh well, off to watch re-runs of The Man Show and plan my budget.
]]>They should have blocked off that window in the back.
]]>Gross.
]]>Donate to Consumerist. Get Ben and Meg new clothes.
]]>@WaywardSoul: Oh, yeah, that's not creepy at all.
]]>I was simply going to pop for a donation to get the tip jar up to $10k, but then I read the post above this one.
]]>@Yoko Broke Up The Beatles: Now that you mentioned it, yes.
]]>"It's time for a sexy labcoat party!"
]]>Maybe I'll try again today. Or maybe I'll write a strongly worded letter to the execs and see what THEY have to say!
]]>I feel like the theme music from The Benny Hill Show would be more appropriate here.
]]>Wasn't this already posted? Oh well.
]]>Also, I'll wear it Ben!
