The Straw That Broke Gizmodo's Back - Simplistic Bashing of the Vaping Community

[ChiefAllDay]

For a long time, I truly hated the way Gizmodo was obviously a pro-Apple fan site. I dealt with the constant barrage of how the iPhone was better than sliced bread, how Apple's use of plastic with the 5C was revolutionary, yet Samsung's use of plastic was "cheap". Blah, blah, blah. Now mind you, I own two Macs; a Macbook Air that I am typing this post on, and a Mac Mini that is our home theater computer. That said, I use a Sony Xperia Z1 due to the fact it's the perfect size, and I can take pictures with my daughter while we're underwater (waterproof up to 30 feet)... my old iPhones could barely take a splash of water before waving the white flag. But I digress... I put up with their biased journalism so I could read some interesting tech articles, until now.

Fast forward to tonight... I read this silly article:

The Government's War on E-Cigarettes

They seriously referred to vaping as "gross" because the vapor was in someone's body before someone else smelled it. I bet they don't fart over at the gizmodo offices, or burp, or... use common sense.

I am removing gizmodo's bookmark, and I refuse to give them a single click in their general direction, from now, until I kick the proverbial bucket.

First of all, remember that



Smoking has been demonized to the point where *any* visible exhalation is viewed with fear and disgust. Should we be reminding these people that everyone's everyday, normal (invisible, but alas not always odorless) exhalation contains toxic chemicals?

It sounds like it is run by immature 10 year olds. Mind you, I've met 10 year olds who have been enlightened by their upbringing, this outfit may be a "you can put anything on the internet."

That article, and the countless moronic comments, are proof positive that there should be a very strict IQ test required to get the right to vote. Such imbeciles should not have a say in matters. Same goes for a driver's license. If this is how underdeveloped your brain is, heavy machinery ist verboten, dear.

As if the article itself wasn't garbage enough, the comments only make it so much worse. I can't believe how many r_tards are able to use the internet and post comments on a web site. It really must be idiot-proof.

Yep. Anybody becomes an "expert" by merely posting on the internet!
