Let me explain. Many years ago as a child just entering puberty, I decided to be the most rebellious of rebels and stay awake past my very generous bedtime. As I channel surfed my television, now stricken by the glow of the midnight moon, displaying not much other than Girls Gone Wild infomercials and other assorted things, I came across a face that I would soon accept as my god.
Chris motherfucking Pirillo.
He was hosting Call for Help, a show I had heard nothing about, but I was sure glad I caught it. From the first episode I saw, I learned so much of computers and technology and how to make my computer work on MY TERMS. Boy was it empowering. But it was not the end. The show aired all the time, and it helped spark my interest in computers, and learning the ways of technology. But Chris was not alone, no. Two other rubenesque men were responsible as well. Their names?
Patrick Norton and Leo Laporte of The Screen Savers.
When I first saw this show, I was convinced that I was to grow up to be like one of these people. I would no longer be forced to associate the term 'nerd' or 'geek' with images of wiry skeletons with pale skin draping off their bones, thick-framed coke bottle glasses hung over a pelican nose, pockmarked with more pepperoni than a pizza factory. Instead I am presented the likes of these two men, injected with infinite amounts of awesome. But lo, did the glory of Tech TV end there? Fuck no it didn't!
It seems as though every month the weekly lineup of TechTV's programs would change. From awesome Euro TV like BattleBots and Body Hits, to inspiring and heart warming shows like Invent This! and Eye Drops. Even better was when slowly but surely staff from the main programs would self-amputate to form far superior shows like that of Unscrewed, hosted by ex-Screen Savers actor MARTIN-MANGOD-SARGENT.
The epitome of hot sex.So many of you may be dazed in a wonder as to why I made this thread, well I'll tell you. PAY YOUR DAMN RESPECTS. After Satan-owned network G4 raped Tech TV with monies, the family I once shared every day with departed to create more personal and harder-to-follow webcasts and blogs, and that's pretty much when I gave up watching television ever again. Thank you for your time.
