Ummm…Christina…if you take a GOOD LOOK at pic #1–the name on the sash says TOM CHANDLER–which is NOT our gracious host’s name. Try doing a bit of research before you bash someone? OK? Bye bye.
Not only that, but the gown is GREEN. I’m no expert, but that looks like a HIGH SCHOOL graduation there–college gowns are usually BLACK. :-p
Whether the guy had children to feed is irrelevant. He got himself fired by acting /extremely/ unprofessionally at a customer’s residence.
/Sorry to go OT, but that was an utterly stupid comment to make.
Ain’t a got-damn thing you can do when you have motherfuckin’ snakes on a motherfuckin’ mortar board.
Wow Menella, from your obvious journalistic skills I can tell you’ll be off to a great start bashing high school kids that you think are website hosts.
Christina Mennella –
With those investigative skills you could work for a fine newsgathering organization like Fox News!
Haha, Christine Mennella hasn’t made a retort. I guess she stands by her investigative prowess. Man, I hope she’s only a freshman in journalism, it seems she’s got a long way to go…
All I know is, if she DOES graduate college (in her BLACK gown), she better hope she doesn’t get ME for an editor! ;-)
pepeeg-
I’d rather work for Fox than the New York (read: Terrorist) Times.
I dont know where you have got this black gown thing from. I am a single parent who has struggled to go to college, actually I’m 27 years old, and I’m still at Mason. Number One I couldnt see in that picture that that man was sleeping. I feel sorry that he lost his job and I bet his cable worked when he left that house.
I didnt bash anyone; Im hoping he takes responsibity for his behavior
“The High School kid” made himself a web host when he got national coverage with his web cam and the comcast employee who got fired. If your going to bash me give me some reasons why? some educated reasons.
FUNNY HOW ALL OF THE OTHER COMMENTS I POSTED HAVE BEEN ERASED, EXCEPT FOR THE ONES THAT BASH ME FOR STANDING UP FOR A MAN WHO LOST HIS JOB BECAUSE OF A KID PLAYING AROUND ON THE COMPUTER. I NOTICED ALL HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT WOW. I DONT EVEN SEE ANY UPDATES ON THE SITE REGARDING IF THIS COMCAST EMPLOYEE EVER FOUND WORK. EVEN AFTER THE KID CALLED OUT TO COMCAST TO REHIRE HIM. HMM! GUESS LIFE JUST GOES ON. HERES MY WEBPAGE MAYBE ALL OF YOU CAN MAKE FUN OF MY CHILD BECAUSE I STOOD UP FOR WHAT I BELEIVED IN. http://mason.gmu.edu/~cmennell/ HE DOES LOOK LIKE HARRY POTTER. SO DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THE COMCAST EMPLOYEE??????????????
Christina, the reason people are bashing you (and it is an ‘educated’ reason) is because the person who you’ve accused of getting a technician fired is a high school kid and totally unrelated to the Comcast story. As a journalist I would expect you to do a little bit of research before posting innaccurate statements under your own name. In this case you should have done enough research to realize that the person who runs the website is not the person in the photo.
I assume you came to this site because you read a newspaper story about the Comcast incident. Most of those stories included the name of the person who runs this site and that name is NOT Tom Chandler. Furthermore, those newspaper stories also often said where the person who runs this site attended school and it was not a high school.
Also, you used all caps which makes you look immature, but that’s a stylistic complaint and not an ‘educated’ one. Additionally, you repeatedly bring up your personal life when making pionts that have no connection to your personal life, but againt that’s a stylistic complaint.
Enjoy journalism school.
I wish Our Gracious Host WOULD delete some posts–like the ones where I misspell stuff! But he’s totally fair and objective–he left up every post that bashed him as well as the ones that praised him–THAT’S the true essence of journalism.
OH–and further research on your part would prove the kid in the picture is NOT Our Gracious Host–try clicking on one of the links to Keith Olbermann or other videos where he was interviewed–lo and behold–they have VIDEO of him–and he looks NOTHING like this poor kid. SHEESH.
And since you pride yourself so much on being a journalism major and all, why don’t YOU do some research and find out if this ex-Comcast guy got a job, instead of letting others do your work for you? Might look awful good on YOUR resume. (BTW–Our Gracious Host is a LAW student, so I don’t know how a movie blog is gonna help HIS resume in anyway.)
Oh, and where did I get the “black gown” thing from? ‘Cause that’s what I wore at the two colleges I graduated from–one in 2003, one in 2004–and I’m a single mom, too, BTW, so you can’t play that card anymore. So how about spending more time trying to build people up by giving them credit where it’s due, instead of trying to make others feel sorry for you by bringing up the whole “single mother back in school” thing? And I hope you’re sadly disappointed when NO ONE from this blog spams your site–like you want them to–just to prove your pathetic point. We are here to discuss “Snakes on a Plane”, and Our Gracious Host was WISE enough to go back on topic after what I’m sure was several uncomfortable weeks of unwanted attention. Here at “SoaB”, we agree with him and want to do the same. If you want to prolong the agony, do so on your own time. Not here.

HMM YOU LOOK GREAT FOR GRADUATION MUST BE NICE. I GO TO GEORGE MASON AND IM MAJORING IN JOURNALISM. SO DID THE TECHNICIAN YOU GOT FIRED, BY ANY CHANCE HAVE ANY CHILDREN TO FEED?
BUT, I MUST SAY THAT MOVE WAS A GREAT RESUME BUILDER!!!
