    If someone voraciously seeks fame & invites the world into their private life, why complain when people comment on it?

    Do you obnoxious people have anything knowledgeable to say? It’s utterly disgusting that instead of going after what he actually said or the whole context of why he’s there in the first place instead of gawking at him, maybe you’d have something credible and smart to say. For shame, how the human IQ level drops at the sight of this page.

    You are right Anonymous. I am almost as bad as you – I am not who I say I am, I’m not in California, I’m not a student, I’m not even female. Who am I ? Who knows, who cares. You won – I’ve been exposed and you still have your anonymity.

    Do you come on here to expose the bloggers ? Is that what this blog is about to you ? Don’t you come on here to read the posts and comment on the posts, that is what this site is for ! Not to expose the people who are writing for your entertainment.

    Now, you’ve won, I admit it. Let’s get back to focusing on what the site is meant for now. It is meant to read the posts, not the bloggers twitter page. I do not want Ouimet to censor posts now that I am here. That is NOT want a I wanted. The sad thing is, here you are hiding behind an Anon commenter youself and you don’t have the decencey to respect that for other people.

    All my questions were rhetorical so don’t bother answering. Scumbag.

    • Anonymous says:

      Why is Poongirl allowed to abuse others but any abuse directed at her is censored?

    • The Original Fake Meta Fake Luba Goy says:

      PoonGirl, I feel for you. People trying to expose anonymous and pseudonymous personalities on this blog are the lowest of the low.

      I’ll admit that I was the one who posited the theory that you were Allan, but it was just for fun and because I really did think you were a prank by Allan based on how awful your work is.

      But don’t confuse that with ill will. It’s complex. Seems like some mothaphucka piggy-backed on my idea and took it down to hell. I dunno, I never saw the comments and I don’t really care who the hell you are.

      Long story short, dooce-bags be damned as always, and poonGirl lives to blog on a bit past her 15 minutes of fame.

      And one of the most frequent pseudonymous commenters lives to lurk another day on TM, trying to toss in a funny comment once in a while, knowing that (creepily) there are much stupider, fucked-up anonymi than myself who do whatever it is that comprimised your identity.

      One more for the annals.

    After reading Poongirl’s tweets, I feel sorry for her. She is in need of psychological help. Seriously.

  • Anonymous says:

    HA HA you’re disappointed in ME??

  • Anonymous says:

    WOW I love logging in to my feed reader to see comments that are no longer here. Maybe there was some kind of error? I think that one is worth a RT.

    … (edited by Ouimet)

    • Ouimet says:

      I’m disappointed in you, Anonymous.

      Everyone here has the right to their anonymity, and to reveal as much information about themselves as they want to reveal. Including you. Fake Ouimet was sacrificed for this right.

      And those that violate it are the worst type of scumbag.

      Due to excessive abuse over the weekend, I’m going to lock down all comments for moderation.

  • Jian Tweetmeshi says:

    I’ve got to start following Jian on Twitter. His tweets are the square root of gay.

    “At St. Louis airport w/ Adam Lambert album in my ears – anticipating his live gig/chat in Studio Q tmrw. Feeling naked without eyeliner.

    Your identity is now on the CBC-Q twitter page. So much for privacy.

  • PoonGirl says:

    No, we are not a couple nor have we ever been, we’ve only spoke. Anyways, tell me – how does everyone know who I am ? I know one person knew and some fellow bloggers do but now it seems everyone does ! I have nothing to hide … but still.

  • PoonGirl says:

    Well, I Haiti Jian – I don’t like everyone knowing who I am, but whatever. To answer, I have had correspondance with Jian. As much as we – I – all of us, like to bash him he has been nothing but kind, respectful and mature with me.

    So, I keep that in mind when I go at him like a monkey on a cupcake.

    • Anonymous says:

      Poongirl, don’t believe the hype. He is “nice” to all women until he gets what he wants. Are you two a couple now?

  • Anonymous says:

    You fit his profile, Poongirl. White, 20-something, female with sass. He’s on the prowl.

    I woke up this morning excited to see this post. I KNEW it was coming!!! Someone needs to make a montage of ugly loser Douchebag Gomeshi trying to get on camera all night. I will pay GOOD MONEY to see that!!!

      You missed the segment where he & Rick Mercer are making jokes & chuckling while bravely trying to raise millions for the suffering. Ick.

  • BrainDrainXP says:

    What do you expect for a guy with a face for radio?

  • Anonymous says:

    Jian spent the whole telethon trying to get on camera…HA HA…You can’t make this sh*t up….Jian is a douchebag extraordinaire.

  • Jian Gawkmeshi says:

    What a loser Jian is, standing there gawking at the camera while someone is being interviewed. He looks like one of those morons that you’ll see waving at the camera when a reporter is doing a live remote.

  • PoonGirl says:

    Ha, but isn’t it impressive he can change that much with just the tilt of his head ?

  • Anonymous says:

    Jian is getting uglier every day. In the top picture he looks like Martin Short. In the bottom picture he looks like Steve Perry, lead singer of Journey.

  • anonymoose says:

    HA! I tuned in only a few minutes before this bit with Mike Holmes went to air. It was almost like Jian kept moving ever-so-slightly in order to stay centered in the shot while they were tracking the camera.
