Probably redundant, but I just can't resist sometimes. Time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the internet drama. In case you've missed it thus far, but would enjoy a good laugh at a PR man who really fk'd up, it all starts here.

Favorite lines from the press coverage so far:

"Essentially, the superfan is Lee van Cleef, but with a bag containing an infinite number of furious weasels, which will continue to bite your ankles long after he has ridden on to the next town." -Daniel Nye Griffiths (Forbes.com)

“I can’t worry about the fact that there isn’t a bus big enough for me to throw Paul Christoforo under. The internet did that for me. I think they set him on fire too.” -Moisés Chiullan (via gamerfront.net)

This is hilarious. Here's the link to the first page of the Forbes coverage though, yours is the last page.

I've been following that too. Simply funny. The best part is when he refuses to admit he was wrong and pretends he was provoked by Mike.

Internet shitstorms are always entertaining.

That's the one thing that makes me a little sad: Paul's adamant refusal to actually apologize.

"I'm sorry, Mr. President, if I had known who you were at the time, I assure you that I would not have called you a flaming ho-bag. I assumed you were just a regular person."

That's not really an apology… that's pandering to people with assumed power.
