Leo Laporte blows up at Mike Arrington or; SCREW YOU MIKE ARRINGTON!

September 15th 2009 23:20

Start things off with a quick back story as to why I'm writing an article on this now.

If you've listened to the TWiT TV podcasts then you know who Leo Laporte is. So there has been this meme thats been going on during the This Week In Tech podcast. The meme goes "SCREW YOU insert persons name". Followed by laughter by the guests hosts. I never understood this, but if you know anything about Leo and his podcasts, they are super clean and polite and if anyone curses it gets bleeped.

So this befuddled me! WHAT IS THIS REFERENCE! Google failed me but I heard the latest TWiT podcast and someone had a sticker that said "Screw you Mike Arrington!" BAMF! I got a lead. So googled thusly and found this video.

So what do you guys think? Was Leo out of line? I know this was months old but its news to me.

The fallout of this podcast was the Gillmor gang show being removed from the TWiT network, and Mike Arrington never on a show with Leo ever again. Opinions folks?

Leo is in the clear; screw that guy. He is bringing Leo's character into question and thats bullshit; Look at his career and you will see that he is no sell out and hes not just gonna tell you shit is quality because he got to test it; look at how he left the sinking ship that was Tech TV. If that doesn't prove his integrity then I don't know what does.
