Leo LaPorte, "drunk and out of control," calls for Kevin Rose boycott

I thought it was funny how Leo was busting Diggnation (Kevin's show) for being less grown up or 'immature' target audience and doesn't want them, then minutes later starts begging for twitter followers, asks folks to un-friend Kevin and then gives away bribes/prizes all because he said he can't stand getting beat on Twitter....ironic that he became the very thing he was criticizing Diggnation for....

Yeap, no Contest. Kevin is a righteous guy. Leo is Leo.

Fail, Rose is the man, younger and richer than you.

Every once in a while, I feel like I'm really missing out because I'm not into a lot of the Web 2.0 stuff like Twitter.

Then I read stuff like this and come to my senses.

Carry on.

the internet has evolved beyond using anonymity as an excuse to act like an ass to making up some bs about being drunk as an excuse, like in real life...

Well, Kevin for sure has never really liked Leo, you can see that whenever he gets bought up on Diggnation. I figured it went back to Screensaver days.

I was watching his stream pretty much all day Sunday while I puttered around and he hadn't been drinking. He was joking about being drunk. He had, however, been working all day with his 3 hour radio show, an hour+ twit and trying to get his new twitlive thing going.

Jesus Christ, this is pathetic. Not Leo -- I think he's actually good as a talking head so long as he has a producer to keep him from spouting too much of an opinion on anything, which will invariably be wrong. But what the hell happened to waking up in a pool of your own vomit with a dead hooker tied to the headboard? Someday they're going to make a movie of Web 2.0 containing 120 minutes of action-packed twittering and sending bitches smiley faces and drinking too many frappacinos and screaming KAWAII!! at awkward moments I'm going to be very proud to be the first one to urinate on the person sitting in front of me and storm out of the theater.

I know everyone gets drunk. However, it seems peeps are more prone to divulge this fact on twitter (and some other web 2.0 sites) more freely...especially the older folks. Odd considering it is something that can come back to...
