Saw earlier today that he was generating 50,000 tweets per minute.

Did you see about the guy who started a Kickstarter campaign to make a bowl of mac'n'cheese? He's up over $50K in funding for said endeavor at present.

Apparently a lot of people care about that man's ability to make a bowl of mac'n'cheese then!

Not sure what you mean. The internet is imaginary land, and user-generated content is not real?

I really wanted to slam this but I honestly believe the 1st Matrix and 1st Terminator movies were ****ing visionary. In different ways, but still groundbreaking.

So I guess whatever slam was intended hit home because...ADD...

Both were stolen ideas too.

Cameron said it came from a dream, but it actually just came from a novel he read and didn't give credit. It would have been more obvious, but for budget reasons he wasn't able to show the future war as much as was in the original script or the source material he ripped it from.

Still a great movie... but I can't call it visionary because both visions were stolen.

I think The Terminator was inspired by a couple of Outer Limits episodes written by Harlan Ellison. "Demon with a Glass Hand" and "Soldier."

Matrix seems like a ripoff of "Mindwarp" and "Simulacron-3."

Anybody who has turned on ESPN in the last 24 hours is truly a person I feel pity for.

:spock: Because they were interested in the most exciting free agency signing in all of sports since Peyton Manning?

Even I found it ridiculously over the top, and I was ecstatic about the news. They basically quoted the entire SI article in segments throughout the show. Which is pretty hilarious, since they basically got stiffed on getting the exclusive and now they're trying to own the aftermath. Now you have guys like Adande writing patronizing articles about the Cavs just a few days after he compared Dan Gilbert to Donald Sterling.

It's pretty hilarious when a TV company reads verbatim an entire letter suitable for Print. It was a long letter.Devoting most of today's Sportscenter on Lebron commentary or highlights makes sense. I thought reading the letter came off as really cheesy. And that's coming from someone who obviously loved what was written in the letter.

ESPN has been a joke throughout this whole Lebron deal.

It's the only 24-hour sports news station out there on basic cable. Somebody turning on ESPN during this announcement all of a sudden makes them pitiable to a ****tard like Prison Bitch?

ESPN obviously beats things into the ground, but I don't see any problem with reading LeBron's statement on the air. It'd be weird if they didn't.

At least LeBron is legitimately the best basketball player on the planet. It's not like they spent a whole show on a QB who can't throw the football. I'm going to guess they actually got good ratings yesterday.
