It is hard to say if the watermark is the same style that the studio uses without seeing shots from other screeners that they've sent out. I am no video encoding guru but I was under the impression that adding a watermark is pretty trivial. I think it would be stretching it a bit far for it to be a prank, unless whoever ripped it did it to throw people off the real source. Even then, I'm sure that it wouldn't be too hard to figure out.

My theory which is probably correct is Howard or someone on the staff got hacked. The timeline with the screener getting leaked right after strange postings on Howard's twitter feed makes the theory better. Let's face it no one there seems to know the first thing about computer security and I wouldn't be surprised if they had a massive security breech. They are a massive target and they are obviously not savvy enough to figure out that anything was wrong until it was far too late.

Man, I am really excited to hear Howard yelling about this super 8 business on Monday. Of course, he'll probably ignore it because that's what he does with interesting things.

I've heard Howard use the expression "The High Sign" for many years, usually "I see that Gary is giving me the High Sign." What the gently caress does it look like?

Yea, I'm sure this came from Ralph although in no way, shape or form is Ralph smart enough to do it. Ralph is a man who only a couple years ago got DSL(during the ETM webcam saga) which is a joke in and of itself. I'm sure he let a friend borrow it and that friend uploaded it.

I think he let somebody on the staff borrow it who didn't take care of it, a friend of that staff members probably took it, made a copy, whatever. No grand hacking, just loose lips and people trying to show off. It would be funny if JD did it, sending it to a cam whore with the group tag of "Dabadass"

Most scene groups have at least 1 person who has some way to get their hands on stuff and I'm sure that person was a friend of someone on the staff and that's how it got out.

Unless they sent him a digital file instead of a DVD-Screener, hacking is really going to do no good at all.

He was always a skinny nerd, now he's a fat nerd. Sitting around editing clips and eating Mcdonalds will do that to you I suppose.

I honestly think he's more social than he was and he's probably boozing enough to add that weight. He'd been fine in the earlier years still eating lovely and editing clips all day but I think he's peaked out of his shell a little and goes out with people a little more often. Just a guess, though.

JD is a weird person put into a weird position. He shouldn't have what he has, this life style isn't meant for him. Howard likes him on the show because he is strange, and that gives him some strange power and no real way to handle it. Which explains why he breaks it off with hot strippers who want to bang him to jack off to cam whores he pays with his meager salary. I think he isn't a bad guy, just you took the gooniest mother fucker and threw him in the middle of a circus. It can't end well for him. If JD was on the forums, I'd imagine he would be one of those dudes that keeps getting banned and never gets why.

The depression might be part of it as well (I think he was diagnosed with some form of it?). After I was diagnosed, I ballooned up too. You just end up not giving a poo poo about things anymore, and walk around like a zombie (depending on the meds he's on).

He stopped taking his meds, didn't he? That whole, I feel fine, who needs meds thinking. His job is to watch TV for a millionaire. I'd be medicated too.

I was perusing 'ericthebedhumper2' on YouTube to get my ETM fill when I saw he had the 9/11 broadcast up. I always get sucked into listening to the whole thing. Nothing really brings out the "AMERICA gently caress YEAH" in me than that, although Quivers was being particularly cunty that day.

What a let down... He finds the most uninteresting way to deny things. At least he talks about it relatively soon in the broadcast, maybe 20 minutes in. Basically just denied that it could possibly be him, and described the process the studio uses to deliver the disks to him. Studio sends guy with disk to Sirius building, Gary or Tracy goes down to collect it, it goes into Stern's personal bag (man purse). Once he watches it, he brings it back in, and the process reverses: Gary calls the studio, and the send someone over to collect it. That's it. He claims that he never gives/loans it out to anyone else. He mocked the idea that it could possibly have been Ralph.

I can't think of a single point during that process where someone could take it and then return it without anyone knowing.

Yeah, even his defense against "Angry Vacation Man" (I think they called him that) who was calling him out on 3 day weeks and all of his vacations was uninteresting. Their argument against vacations and the limited shows is retarded. Robin: "No one complains about True Blood only having 12 episodes in a season!" Howard: "Yeah, why don't they have THAT show on every day?!" I also love how whenever anyone is critical of him, he (or Robin) always say that "they probably don't even listen to the show". But then if it's obvious that they actually do listen to the show, they ask "Why are you still listening?" and tell them to stop listening. digital penitence fucked around with this message at 16:33 on Aug 8, 2011 |

I didn't think he was kidding when he said - he sounded 100% serious.
