“Dave: I don’t think people get how utterly EXHAUSTING it is to be objectified and villified as a form of entertainment.”

I think Calacanis gets it but he seems to be able to let the negative energy go. When Calacanis got off stage he blogged his reaction to Dave in the next hour. It's was the reaction to Jason's reaction that triggered Dave's fury. Then Calacanis goes on to give an interview to Wired detailing what is was like to be "winered" and to dredge up past events where Dave "acted out".

This will go on for years and years and years...

And NOT just because we're talking about it. Because it's in the DNA of Dave's personality. It happens as a pattern in his public relationships.

Thanks Flavor FLV, but 440.000 isn’t a timecode. I assumed that was a measurement in seconds, so I divided by 60, poked around and found the incident at 7:49 (7 minutes 49 seconds). Hope this helps anyone who, like me, doesn’t have the patience to sit through Calcanis’ tedious pontification.

Start at timecode 440.000 or thereabouts. You’ll soon hear the overbearing gasbag crap all over the Mahalo commercial.

BTW, my .flv player only shows timecode, not bytes. Do you have an approximate time for the outburst? I don’t have the patience to sit through it all.

"Dave: I don’t think people get how utterly EXHAUSTING it is to be objectified and villified as a form of entertainment."

To those critics of winer, I say to each and every one: Job Well Done! If we didn't keep up the pressure and constant vilification, dave would probably have more energy to piss off more people. But he's too exhausted, poor baby.

With all due respect to Dave… he’s a big pansy. He’s probably just mad because anyone who sees that video will know exactly what happened: he was a huge asshole and then, instead of apologizing, he threw a little winer-tantrum.
