It always comes across as moronic to be a supposed adult and come down hard on children. You are as annoying as the butt-headed coach who yells at little leaguers. It’s one thing to write a negative review…it’s another thing to be just plain mean. These are not kids acting, Lou…they are kids, being kids, reviewing their favorite films, and you are one self-important prick by deciding to play it cruel. Then you try and take it out on their dad by attempting to blame your “pain” on their father with your “made them do it over and over again” theory, which was completely shredded in the comment above by the Cinekids’ OWN MOM. Your “pain” is unjustified because it takes a moron not to understand that you are not their audience. If you don’t subscribe to Highlights magazine, watch Disney films or have small children of your own (which I hope to God you don’t, with the all the cynicism dripping out of all those ignorant pores of yours) then, “Helloooooo Lou!”, you are not their audience. Save your negative diatribe for the appropriate material.

And, yes, you are a bully. Bullies who pick on kids, deep down inside are actually wimps. And I know you know this to be true.

The Cinekids WANT to be in the podcast. They continue to beg to do Cinekids. Even though a new podcast has not been posted in months, the subscriber stats according to FEEDBURNER continue to grow (Cinekids is featured on more than just YouTube. In fact, most episodes are not even on YouTube but rather on other video sites, and the subscribers and traffic CONTINUE TO GROW).

During the time that Cinekids was still being produced, it was featured on the Yahoo Nine as well as G4. It was never scripted. We never told them to like a certain film or dislike a certain film.

Cinekids has been canceled but not because it is a bad podcast – people love it. But in fact, because there is so much interest, we canceled it so the kids can have a normal childhood. They continue to BEG to do the podcast and we continue to tell them no. They should be riding bikes not signing autographs.

And now I’m going to give you advice I give my kids: Bullies only pick on other people to increase their own self-esteem. Lou, find a better way to boost your ego, okay?

If you were an attractive but aging, self-absorbed pseudo-intellectual with no acting ability that had nothing to offer the world — I doubt you would make a very good video blogger either.

Amanda Congdon is dumb as bricks _and_ pretentious to the point of making you want to punch her in the throat.

I don’t see how she could possibly make her videos any better. She has done an excellent job with nothing to work with.

Rocketboom is lame, huh? Hmmm….well, let’s see YOUR video, Mr. Critic. I can’t find 5-10 so I must be dumb.

Anyhow, you got me to read your list. Kudos.

How could you?

(okay, I haven’t seen the vlog in question, but I have heard the “on the internet…” statement many times.)

Too bad it’s complete and utter crap.

those girls are cute and witty, rich. i think the humor is going over your head. (and how sad is that?)

Small issue in comparison to the great job you did putting this together. A solid contribution to cultural commentary.

I find the new Rocketboom is really pretty good. The British chick is funny and endearing.

RB is certainly much better than Ze Frank, who has an ego the size of the Titanic. Yikes! He has a New York “screw you” attitude that is really toxic, and that I’ve come to expect from the Mainstream Media.

RB feels like mainstream, doesn’t take itself overly seriously, and is a pleasure to watch.

Their only problem is that 80% of the people on the show are Jews, so they don’t represent 98% of the US population.
