Yet another reminder that Gizmodo is little more than a haven for jackasses:
“CES has no shortage of displays. And when MAKE offered us some TV-B-Gone clickers to bring to the show, we pretty much couldn’t help ourselves. We shut off a TV. And then another. And then a wall of TVs. And we just couldn’t stop.”
Powering off a few static-display panels? Mildly amusing. Lets be honest.
Repeatedly killing off actual presentations, interrupting interactive sessions and generally wasting everyone else’s time, to then brag about not really being sorry at all? Just plain stupid.
It’s always funny until you’re the one at the receiving end. I doubt the Gizmodo team would have found it quite as comical if one of their party was ejected from CES, then another, then another.. the organisers just not able to stop.
