Wil Wheaton playing for EFF

Posted by chrisd on from the okay-enough-posts-already dept.

Quintin Stone (and every other Slashdot reader on the planet) writes: "Wil Wheaton is among the many Star Trek actors on tonight's Weakest Link, except that the charity he's playing for is the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Though so far he's been doing well." CD: I don't want to give away the ending, many people have yet to see the show.

    Well, this article was posted very recently, like 7 minutes ago. And in my Time Zone (EST) the show has already finished. This is about as un-news worthy as it gets. Most of the World has already seen this show (if it AIRs somewhere besides the US) and for us we'll need to wait for reruns for any substance from this report.

    seriously, if you guys can't get an article up about an EVENT before it happens then maybe it wasn't worth posting.

    What I fail to understand is why you would say sorry instead of HITTING THE FREAKING DELETE KEY. Maybe I'm just stupid.

    My delete key is broken. It just makes those funny ^H things. Maybe I should upgrade to Windows XP.

    Roxanne may have come off as a bitch, but Wil came off as a obnoxious prima-donna (And there is a problem with prima-donnas in the geek world).

    Wil was playing a joke on Roxanne and it backfired on him. You can tell he felt guilty by the way he backed off the obnoxious act in later rounds and in his exit review.

    While we all know he was joking, his timing and maturity was way off. Unfortunately, his behavior just reinforced some very negative geek sterotypes: obnoxious, immature, rude to women.

      You sir are a fucking idiot. Wil is clearly in the wrong, however you are even more so. Please shuffle off this mortal coil.
