Saw it. Laughed at her. +1 to Finkel for not mentioning how many zeroes there are on the end of his career winnings. (though -1 for a pretty weird choice of first date - maybe it's designed to weed some out?)

It was a local NYC fringe show that looked kinda interesting and was playing at the right time so I figured why not check it out. For the record I think it was a great concept with so-so execution. Polished up(remember, we're talking off off broadway here) it could be excellent, and it made me want to check out more things by the creator/star.

Execution is critical when it comes to Dahmer theater.

It's a Gizmodo article, who the fuck cares what those immature twats and the people they hire think.
Well then. Was just thinking of a buddy of mine, who after seeing Evil Dead: The Musical made the comment that it'd be a good thing to do on a first date. His rationale was that if the girl can handle sitting in the splatter zone she'd probably be worth a second date(and also, it was freaking awesome).

Preconceived notions in my online world? Why I never...
guys, he's a magic the gathering world champion, he knows when to tap.
I found it odd that she interned at a nerdsite then disses nerds.
edit:
Winnar!

Vigilance - there was no tapping or untapping

Didnt realise gizmodo would be willing to stoop so low for the page hits.
Doesn't gawker own gizmodo? Gawker is pretty shit and does this kind of shitty stuff.
So after reading that all I got was girl signs up to website while drunk, decides to go out on a date with one of the less creapy guys, turns out she doesn't really like him and the date was bad.
I know this is the internet where people tweet what the had for breakfast but this is news how? Sounds like every shit date I have ever been on...
< Jolin> you're prety too LanaTorrin
Clearly mafia.
She's hating on one of our hobbies. Torches, pitchforks, etc.
"Make no mistake, Communism lost a big argument - one we know today as the 20th century."
That's sort of the point, it's the kind of thing I would expect on Jezabel.
You know im included in that right? I played Magic from beta till just before 5th ed came out.. I haven't played in years and I doubt I would be able to find my cards again. It was a fun game but meh..
< Jolin> you're prety too LanaTorrin
Clearly mafia.
You're on the internet, it's a better than even chance that you've played at least a little. That wasn't my point.
TBH, my caring about this mostly falls under the bigger heading of "making fun of stupid people", though it is still a little disconcerting that someone would react so viscerally to something I see as an innocent, if expensive, hobby.

She comes off substantially worse when you view the unedited original article.
