Adam Curry, the Podfather

While Dawn and Drew were in the back room doing lord-knows-what to their poor microphones, the Podshow command crew were recruiting programmers – hamsters from a planet near Mars.

These hamsters had never dealt with Earth-based RSS feeds before, causing nothing but problems when the new Podshow service launched yesterday. Podcasters cried foul, as their feeds were rewritten with new data and namespace elements such as “BloodType,” “BirthWeight,” and “Virgin.” Moreover, every Virgin element was automatically toggled to “yes,” thereby forcing thousands of podcasters to run out and prove the world wrong.

Some podcasters were so enraged, they actually mated with the hamsters themselves! After that, the Copyright rewrite seemed less important than it actually was. The hamsters have since been deported.

  • Adam: "I need my spliff for the day... Everything is too dark, and everyone is following me. With my spliff I won't get pissed at everyone (which coincidentally everybody likes). Oh yeah did you know [burp] This senseo moment sponsored by the Dawn and Drew Show. Where was I?"

    Yet another Curryism. "Oops. We didn't mean to accidentally create thousands of RSS feeds that hijack content from your RSS feeds, make it look like we are the host of your content, and remove your copyright notices. That was purely an accident. Now it's all back to actually using YOUR feeds."

    Yeah. This guy makes a lot of mistakes like this that could be read as taking advantage of people. Good thing we really know that he has the best interests of all indie casters at heart, right?
