"The average person can get this exposure, if they want it. You can read Gawkers Letters from Death Row, which has been going on for years without people deciding it's the greatest thing to happen to storytelling since storytelling was invented: http://gawker.com/tag/death-row-…. You can read up on the many…

You want people to know about these injustices but get upset about a popular podcast broadcasting to millions of people about these problems. That makes zero sense.

"All this show did was make a bunch of sheltered, oblivious, middle-class Americans feel very smart about themselves. Out here, stuck in real life with the rest of us, it was just another day in the courthouse."

Your piece about Serial mirrors your critique thereof. You started off well, and laid a thesis on us:

Thanks for your reply. I absolutely agree that people can get exposure if they want it. Serial isn't the only place to hear about the shortcomings of our justice system and I don't think that was the draw. I already knew how testimonies could be influenced or how evidence could be manipulated but it still was very…

"Somebody became really popular and famous for doing something I did all the time!"

Yeah, so, you are missing the biggest point of it all. The average person doesn't get exposure to a case like this for more than a short segment on the news or a bastardized version on law and order. This podcast was interesting because it delved deep into a case that seemed rather ordinary on paper. It showed…

Dear Watt, I wrote you but you still ain't calling

Especially when said protest involves the shooting of a child. I think "I don't like it when children are shot dead" is the least controversial stance this side of "Oxygen is a good thing."

HOW IS THIS A THING? How can cops face criminals and bad guys, but balk in the face of even the mildest criticism when they totally fucked up?

Your inability to understand how statistics work doesn't mean that numbers lie.

Keith Law just got suspended another three days.

No, its your delusion that you are some sort of web-soldier fighting for the rights of web denizens everywhere to - I don't even know what, exactly. I get the feeling you want "unbiased" reporting i.e. reporting that doesn't conflict with what you deem true. Or maybe you just want games to be games and we should stop…

No, it took me about 5 minutes to post this, and we like posting funny things because (believe it or not) we're normal people who like sharing funny things with our audience! Shockingly, this post (and all other posts you say 'slow day' to) did not detract from 'real' posts in any way. Thanks for your concern!

Captain Crunch was always a kind of anarchistic hero of mine. I always liked his sticking it to the man, paired with his technical prowess. As a kid, reading of all of the different boxes, I always dreamed of being able to be that talented. But I was, in the end, too straight laced to take the risks he and his ilk…
