    I think they got mad because you had the audacity to charge $5 for shipping.

  3. Latest eBay listing from the Cyclops Chicken - supercalifragilisticexpeala-eye-phone

    *ahem* - I\’ll just get my coat. (It would get you past the eBay spam filter though eh?)

    Looking forward to the next supercalifragilisticexpealaiphone instalment. This is awful - I can\’t stop saying that word now….

  9. Regarding EBay: Instant karma’s going to get you.
    Perhaps twas a little cosmic “tit for tat.”
    Now you know how it feels to have your post removed
    for no good reason. Yesterday Drew, you removed my
    Hmmmm….balloons… comment + this b-post is sponsored by Alka Seltzer featuring a Youtube video.
    At least you received a letter with an explanation from eBay. Not I…. no explanation
    why you removed my post, now did I?

    Get me Meg Whitman’s mother!

    By the way, this b-post repost is sponsored by Alka Seltzer + Prep -H

      B-man, your post wasn’t removed. It just got a -1 rating, which made it disappear. Set your rating threshold (top of this page) to -5 and click the “submit” button, and everything will appear again.

      I do not know why negative top-level posts disappear but negative replies do not. But I’m pretty sure you can get all comments to completely disappear by giving all top-level posts a -6 rating. IMHO, a valid protest of this awful rating system.

      1. If that’s what’s going on…I think the whole ratings/disappearance thing-a-ma-jig should be scrapped. As I stated the other day, speak out. That’s why there is a comments section. Unless it is unduly pornographic, abusive or otherwise “not appropriate” I think all negative comments should be allowed to remain. If you don’t want to read them , skim to the next….I don’t get this “hide” don’t hide feature. Thanks for the tip…

        In other news, this is a prime example why MSM (main stream media) has lost our respect over the years:

      2. …and as if that report wasn’t nonsensical enough, here’s another about Harry Potter…

        http://www.eitb24.com/new/en/B24_54327/entertainment/HARRY-POTTERS-SAGA-Hacker-says-knows-Harry-Potters-ending

        No wonder people in Africa have no books, schools, hospital, libraries, etc, etc, Rudd’s excellent first-hand reports give us just a nano view of world events…that SHOULD be covered by MSM, instead of celebrity/entertainment bs that is reported as crucial news. “egads”…I think Superman once said that…

    I’ll try to give this a -6 rating. I expect it will disappear, at least for a while.

  14. Isn\’t that word owned, or trademarked, or copyrighted by Disney Studios, and if so: would not they have a problem with the winning bidder of said word, presuming that said bidder will be using it for some sort of buisness adventure? And who in thier right mind is going to pay that ridiculously over-priced service fee? I think the service fee should be reduced to $47.50 to bring it more in line with the current market!

    1. I have an idea for a new product both you and Drew can benefit from.
      These virtual collages can be turned into Rocketboom Posters and sold along with RB t-shirts, etc. I think the 90% + males demographic wouldn’t mind looking at Joanne on their wall.

      Great idea I know. That’s my job–I’m an idea-man. ok I’ll take 1% cut. Make that 2%.

  27. Have some respect for your audience Drew. We made you and we can break you. Yes, it’s that Simple!!! Over the past month, you seem to put on RB on-line whenever the fuck you want to. As you know, I’ve been a loyal viewer from the start. Even got you featured on the DrudgeRepirt in the early days. But if you continue with posting RB at midnight or 3 am ( i live on the east coast) without a reasonable explanation why, then screw it. And if it’s too difficult to prodice a high quality show each day, reduce it to 3 times a week or whatever you guys can manage, but don’t yank our collective chains by putting up RB whenever you feel like it…that’s not how you WON our loyalty from the beginning…9 am…there was new RB episode….week after week, month after month….

    I’m sure other RB viewers feel the same way…if you are having difficulties tell us…we can handle it…but don’t treat us like MSM veiwers you expect will alwaYS be there, cause we won’t be.

    I know I don’t pay for it, but now your sponsors do. Are you trying to milk as many hits as you can to increase your rates as mainstream advertising does?

    There… I said it for me… and many others I’m sure.

    Could you kindly use something besides Quicktime for your broadcasts? Flash? Mediaplayer?
    I refuse to install Quicktime on my machine and so do millions of others because of the spyware issue — Yes apple piggybacks spyware on Quicktime & iTunes.
