I want a video of Choire giving Balk a pill. Or de-pilling the sweaters.

First of all, it bothers me that the Pac-Man had arms, but otherwise, what's the big deal? You got some French JACKASS thing and Pac-Homme gets wacked with a golf club. Everybody wins.

What the fuck? You're kidding right?

I don't need some boring old video game references that are pretend absurd. Stick with the awesome commentary and make the background a different color.

And stop trying to appeal to kids, who have no money and have already lost the patience/attention span to go to actual websites. You're doing fine for getting educated people in their late 20's and 30's who make money and devour blogs.

You know something, Nora Ephron, Julia Childs wasn't just some ditzy tall lady who went to school and became a chef — she was actually a secret agent. Would it be too much to ask for a scene where she strangles someone with piano wire?

i already have stupid friends to email me stupid videos. what i don't have is friends who are emailing me genius like the gossip girl recap (best thing i have ever read in the entire history of ever) and poetic AP descriptions of collapsed buildings. it's these kinds of articles that have made the awl one of the first things i check in google reader. including more videos will just get you bumped down to boingboing territory.

I like the pac-man crap ok.

I like the site in general though, not surprisingly you guys are doing a good job.

You know what the internets want, trust those instincts!

Let's face it. You guys have to kill time till the next break-dancer tags some kid in the subway.

Most videos blocked by the firewall here at work, except for flash. So I vote for better video embedding technology. ("better" meaning accessible by ME).

Cho if you so much as touch a hair on The Awl's head I will hunt you down and beat you with your Vuitton handbag. BACK. OFF.

More of just the bit of that video where the guy whacks that kid with his golf club, but, like, the spirit of that act re-imagined for every other medium.

I'm fine with it if Choire is Pinky, Cho handles the joystick, and Balk is Julia Child.

Yeah, no. I want Packman videos I go to Boingboing, I want Nora Ephron trailers I go to Dr. Kevorkian. I go to The Awl for Gordon Brown videos.

I was hoping for something more insider/outsider-y. Please post a 73-minute long video of Moe Tkacik giggling nervously, smoking hash, and fondling her pet iguana.

Both are irritating, and both will dilute the brand. You have special shit; hawk it.

I'm reminded of my parents telling me to eat my vegetables and thinking "fuck off." Now I'm 24, an overweight smoker, and someone who can't climb more than two flights of stairs without hallucinating.

Anyway – I'd rather see it here than somewhere else, so, yeah: Team Cho.

Re: the Packman thingum: replace the erstwhile kooqui french with some Brazilians and I might stick around. Snark aside, if you want to reach the younguns, get Tim Hwang to bring em in.
