The Most Manly Man Has Spoken
God, what a stud this guy is. If I was of the feminine persuasion I’d be so jumping his macho bones. With that in mind, I completely, totally accept his learned opinion on this topic
…one of the [BBC] corporation’s most familiar faces, Andrew Marr, has dismissed bloggers as “inadequate, pimpled and single”, and citizen journalism as the “spewings and rantings of very drunk people late at night”.
Marr, the BBC’s former political editor who now presents BBC1’s flagship Sunday morning show, said: “Most citizen journalism strikes me as nothing to do with journalism at all.
“A lot of bloggers seem to be socially inadequate, pimpled, single, slightly seedy, bald, cauliflower-nosed young men sitting in their mother’s basements and ranting. They are very angry people,” he told the Cheltenham Literary Festival. “OK – the country is full of very angry people. Many of us are angry people at times. Some of us are angry and drunk”.
Meee-ooooooooooooooow Tiger!
well, ok. I do occasionally get drunk.
And I’m only bald in the spots that have no hair.
WTF? Who is this Howdy Doody looking freak? He’s a Brit right? There you have it, bet he’s a cross dresser too.
This strikes me as being kind of like the guys I knew from high school who derided everything as “gay” to cover their own conflicted feelings about their sexualities.
Not that he looks like he just crawled out of his basement after maybe 30 years when he found out his mother died…
He sounds……..jealous. Most likely because he’s an untalented hack.
Do you guys remember the X-Files character Eugene Tooms…?
P-R-O-J-E-C-T-I-O-N
*projection*
Mea culpa alert in progress!
His nose is more Belgian Endive than cauliflower. Can you find it in your hearts to forgive me?
Oh, GOD. Next you’ll be talking about the price of arugula and running for president.
…but he’s only talking about BRITISH bloggers. So maybe he’s right. 🙂
“A lot of bloggers seem to be socially inadequate, pimpled, single, slightly seedy, bald, cauliflower-nosed young men sitting in their mother’s basements and ranting.”
This is coming from a chalk skinned, piggy eyed, estrogen drenched plonker with enough crow’s feet for an entire flock and all of the writing talent of an overripe cantaloupe.

Actually, near as I can tell, he’s actually talking about those who comment on journalist’s blogs. I don’t think he actually knows what a blogger is…
