Corvida
Oh God. I don't care what anyone says at this point. Loren Feldman is racist. Point blank period.
Why does anybody pay attention to that douchebag anyway? - David Risley
Did I miss something? - Yolanda
whats the scoop..tell the story. Calling a person is not wrong, but you gotta substanitate too !! - Peter Dawson
Liking just so I can follow - wanna know why Corvida has said what she's said. - Tad, Anti-Immanentizer
Pretty sure it's because of this racist video: http://www.1938media.com/affirma... That guy is a prick. - Mark Trapp
DA here. For the slightly un-informed, why do you feel this way? - Mathew A. Koeneker
Corvida lays it our pretty clearly here | http://shegeeks.net/adding-... - Jon Dillon
oh dear... just watched the video Mark links above... not sure what to say - Tad, Anti-Immanentizer
Oh my god. I can't find the words. I do not know how to describe or explain this. At least with the other video you could just say bad satire. After the past week, how can you release this video? - Rob Diana
You know how some toddlers do very bad things because they feel they aren't getting enough attention- and negative attention is better than no attention? This is like that only much, much, much uglier. Ugh. - Abby Martin
Yikes. That passes my litmus test. Whether truly a rascist or just acting out for attention, that is putrid stuff. - Mathew A. Koeneker via fftogo
Loren Feldman is either a racist or is choosing to use racist humor to create a firestorm of commentary that results in links, traffic, and personal reputation. Either way, he is not deserving of any mindshare or attention. Lets just ignore and BLOCK him and move on to more important issues. - Elliott Ng
The conversation is building again: "Ignore him, he's a sorry excuse for humanity" or "Those who ignore him are just as guilty." I tend toward the former but another commenter the other day implied that meant I had no morals or ethics. If nothing else, we can all agree that he's pathetic and needs to climb back under his rock. - Carla Thompson
I had never heard of him until reading this, so I'll just move on and forget his name in thirty seconds. - Rob Reed
You know, I've really liked a lot of Loren's stuff in the past -- most of it actually. I think this video though is sad. It's not at all funny. It's meant to be inflammatory without any redeeming quality that I can find. Even though it's humor, even though it's a puppet, I find it racist as well. That's too bad. - Thomas Hawk
Thomas: Sorry that you like or liked Loren's stuff. I have always thought him a bit of a slimeball - Brian Sullivan
I'm sure he'll continue to argue he's not a racist, but whether he is or not doesn't matter to me. Being as painfully stupid and unfunny as he is, should be a crime of some sort. - Richard Lawler via twhirl
Like Thomas, I really a like a lot of his stuff (his puppet interviews with people in the tech industry were great among other things), he's very smart and talented, but I always kinda imagined him as reincarnated Nazi officer or something like that. The whole 1938 thing, his theme song, his looks and voice. Makes me think of World War II. It'd sure be interesting to have a talented psychic do a reading on him! I have nothing against him though, and look forward to see what he has in store. - Vincent X
yeah I really do wish that people who insist on linking to him, even if just to point out his racist jackassery, would use either nofollow, or title="racist asshole" - Ross McKillop
Vinny, I think Feldman might be able to pull something like that off if he did it right in part because he's Jewish. In the same way that Chris Rock can pull some of his humor off because he's black. You have to be careful with racial sterotype stuff though. I think that this video 1. is not funny or intelligent and 2. is racist and alienates a whole bunch of people for no discernible reason that I can tell. It's a bad move and bad for Loren and his show. - Thomas Hawk
Yawn - sean percival
Loren has sure received a lot of attention (and free press) because of all of this. Why doesn't everyone just ignore him and move on? - Scott Wamsley
Thomas: I agree. - Vincent X
I'm just. Uh. Wow. There's no reason to have reasoned debate about his material. I tap out. - Jason Toney
+1 Scott - David Worrell
oh he's at it again.. he did this earlier in his career too (da N video @podtech) .. he's pushing the envelope again. once is a mistake , twice means he's stupid ! - Peter Dawson
Just watched it because of the comments... Don't like it, not funny, won't spend more time on 1938media... Perhaps pointing me to it isn't that bad after all ;) - Marco
Feldman strikes me as the kinda guy who would pound his thumb with a hammer thirty times in a row just to prove that he actually meant to miss the nail the first time. - Roger Benningfield
I didn't even really get the appeal before, but now... It's like he wants to be known as a racist. - Sarah Perez
the conversation we should be having about this: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Richard Lawler
