That Dave guy also does a bit where he tries a new pizza everyday wherever he’s at and rates it. Sometimes with super famous ppl too. Just drives ppl nuts tho.

They’re basically professional PI’rs to randoms on the internet which use to be celebrated here if it was aimed at the right poster and laughed at in the same realm. It’s just that they do it way better.

As a matter of principal I don’t read copy and pasted links but I made an exception and read it just now, I didn’t realize this Portnoy guy was going after people personally and posting addresses and phone numbers on twitter. Hard to believe he is still around given all of the things he has done according to that article.

I’m just saying, following MIR’s posting style through the years, you either agree with his takes or you’re a major rough ridin' idiot and he’ll make sure to tell you about it. Imagine being disgusted by guys who do the same thing but are making millions doing it. They’re funny.

It's amazing that you think this crap is deep.

What’s the deal with rappaport? They brought him in for a hot second and then canned him and now he’s suing them for saying he had herpes

Really glad that didn't work out, Rappaport is way too good for those losers

I run hot and cold with that dude, sometimes he says some foul crap. Anyway they fired him because he was talking crap about "stoolies" on twitter, called them losers. Being ever conscious to their brand and knowing a predominance of their target audience is comprised of a bunch of rough ridin' aggrieved crybabies who spend most of their existence calling other people snowflakes, Portnoy had to stand up for these pussies to protect that coin.

Their reviews went from a 4.7 to like a 3.1 in hours and then somehow they contacted yelp to make the reviews stop and to go back to a 4.7.

What a douche. Good grief
