I'm not especially disposed to pick on a guy who seems to be having shit thrown at him from all sides, but VirPed's semi-official spokesman isn't really adding a lot of clarity to this discussion. His Twitter feed offers the following reflections on the programme:After seeing Dr. Phil, I'm saddened. I think SOMETHING happened to the girl. I don't know what, or if Gary did it, but SOMEONE abused her So hard to know whom to condemn and how much! But Todd does at least spare a little bit of condemnation for the real villain here: As for Dr. Phil himself, I think he handled the issue about as well as could be expected for a show that traffics in sensationalism. And (a few days earlier) this: I suspect Dr. Phil isn't interested in learning about us; he was just going to ambush us. Well, now just Gary Gibson. Assholes. I have to say that Todd Nickerson actually seems like a reasonably decent sort of chap, insofar as you can judge a man by his Twitter feed. But VirPed do tend to go on (and on) about their successes in getting positive publicity in the muggle press, in a manner that strikes me as rather naive and self-congratulatory. It's grimly unsurprising to see them hoist on their own petard in this manner. [@nonymouse] [Guardster] [Proxify] [Anonymisierungsdienst] |
