Kid writes very well and sounds intelligent. Should have no problem teaching English or translating in Korea or something. Strange story. Loading dock worker?...

Anyway, Tasteless should have kept his mouth shut, people in Korea kill themselves over being humiliated in big public way. When in Rome...

I didn't liked Tasteless' rant at all to be honest. Talking about someone who isn't there and can't defend himself, seemed a bit ... tasteless to me. Besides, it's an internal studio affair, not something to go out and talk about on air.
Yeah, the guy was a bit silly, going out saying he could do a better job then someone else, so I guess the response he's gotten our of Tasteless was well deserved. If I was in Tasteless shoes, I'd be even more angered and prolly even smack the guy on the head. But that would've been between me and him, not the entire mutha-lovin' SC2 community out there.
But now I'm not worried for that guy. If he has the skills, in literature and english, to write that post and has the ballz to step up, I think he'll be fine in finding a job. Good luck to him thou. Luck is something that you can't have enough of

I think Tasteless is completely right in telling us what happened, so what if it humiliated the guy: Maybe humility is what he needed to learn. Walking up to somebody like Nick and flapping your gums about how you think you can do a better job then one of his friends. I mean, how did you think that was going to go?

Yea, listen here. There are three steps

1. Fucking up.

2. Apologizing.

3. Forgiveness.

Clearly you need to take a serious look on step 3, cause it's wankers like you who spreads that cold and unfriendly chill wherever you go.

1. Fucking up. Because he's a douche.
2. Apologizing. Because he's a pussy who cries and gets nervous and doesn't want ppl online to talk bad about him even though no one really knows who he is.
3. Your a dumbass.

I think you need to review number 3 because those are the three steps.

Nobody has to apologize. Some dude thought he could lend a hand and perhaps double as a job opportunity, fumbled it, no big deal. Tasteless told the anecdote on air for comedy, because he had already said 5 times how much he loves us, loves the game and loves the sponsors, and short of reciting the tech tree he was out of ideas on how to fill up air time between games.

Funny story, Tasteless should buy the dude a beer for the embarassment. Also because beer is delicious.

Are you serious dude? So in kindergarten when you make your friend cry (for whatever reason), you should get your pants pulled down in front of the entire school?

Can you actually make a coherent argument against a "why not?" It's bound to give you at least some idea that making your friend cry wasn't particularly bright, no?


How was the not coherent?

Also, how was it against a "why not?"

you don't just walk up to someone and basically what you're saying is "i think you suck at your job and i can do it better so they should hire me", that's pretty damn disrespectful.

I'm tempted to say things to you that would get me banned, so instead I will say no, you are wrong, forgiveness is indeed the third step.

True, but what's wrong with critics?
Honestly, If i knew someone who (for example) was a floor sweeper at a store and I knew that:
1) They make mistakes.
2) You could do that job better.

I would ask for that job too if it was actually job I was interested in.


What company would want less quality work over better quality work for the same pay?

I think tasteless only meant that as a joke and nothing serious but I do agree that it was a little far especially with the ending comment.

Whatever it is, i'm sure tasteless will come up with a huuuuuge apology tonight. Especially after watching daily #100 and learning how much of an awesome person tasteless is to his brother.

If the guy really felt so bad about it, why didn't he just send a private E-mail to gomtv, Tasteless, John, etc. Public post on the forums with sad life story just so people can feel sorry for him is not the way to make an apology.

Perhaps he didn't quite think it trough. But i don't think he is trying to be an attention whore. Besides, all is love in the starcraft community. We must support each other, and reading this makes me think the guy really feels bad about it.
nice.

Maybe that is what he would have done had Tasteless not made it public to begin with.

really? Tasteless can't find better things to talk about when theres no game going on? How about Starcraft. He didn't need to make this guy feel like a fool in front of 1000s of people. I feel bad for john and the guy for the misunderstanding.


Of course he can't. Have you seen anything of the last 3 seasons?
It's nothing but senseless rambling and sponsor plugging with the occasional insight into the game.

You assume that he told a sad life story for some pity? It sounded like he was just explaining exactly what was going in his life during the period which lead up to that incident. He didn't use it as an excuse. In fact, he held his hands up and apologised for it. Sure he sounded pretty downbeat and seems to be running low on self-esteem but people get depressed for lesser issues all the time.

Oh and the fact that this guy made a reply so soon after Tasteless told the story means he didn't have the time to think it all the way through. I'm sure if he had Nick and John's private contact details, he would've apologised to them directly. He must've felt posting on the forum was the only way to reach them. In hindsight, i'm sure he regrets doing it publicly but what's done is done and how it was done shouldn't make it any less genuine.

I understand everyone makes mistakes but im kind of surprised how many people are saying tasteless crossed the line. Where else in this world do people walk up to professionals and say they could do a better job? Even if the guy meant no harm it was really disrespectful to John and a really dumb way to go about trying to get a job. I mean have you ever heard of email or an application or something. No other place of business would allow you to do something so arrogant or brash. I would never hire someone who even thought that was a good idea. Tasteless and John we overly nice in my opinion just to meet with the guy and then he tells them he could do a better job then John. The real kicker is that he didn't even know what Johns job was. Nice of him to apologize but it was a really dumb thing to do and I don't see how anyone can say Tasteless was out of line. Obviously people think walking up to people and asking for jobs while disrespecting them is completely fine so Tasteless made sure to address the issue so no one else would be that ignorant.


I agree with u that it was disrespectfull and offesnive but does it give someone to the right to infer that, the person is subhuman i personally have an issue with that part of wat he said.

Maybe its just a cultural thing but where i grew up and live if u infer to someone as subhuman e.g. dog, etc they are more likely than not going to beat the crap out of u.


I also agree with the original poster that despite this guy not intending to make such an inference, going up to a professional and saying you can do a better job when they are working really hard Is quite an insult.

As for the alien comment, although it is a bit over the top, it seems Tasteless didn't really mean to say that he's an alien or anything, it was just another silly joke. I don't think he meant to say this guy is actually sub-human.
