Gizmodo
When the Gizmodo Crew isn't working, their favorite hobby is to pretend they are a world famous F1 pit crew. So when CES was finally over, they headed over to the BMW booth to test their pit stopin', tire changin' skills. With teams of two on each side of the BMW F1 car, the Giz pit-crew raced head-to-head to swap out the car's tires. As you'll see in the video, Team 2 (Adam Frucci / Benny Goldberg Goldman) beat Team 1 (Haroon Malik and Matt Buchanan) by a huge time of 1.2 seconds. Since both teams have the same coach, Wilson Rothman, he didn't know if he should celebrate the win, or beat the losers; but in the end Rothman was still comfortable stating, "We're the best around, and nothin's ever gonna keep us down."

No matter your speed, there's no sex in the champagne room.
Oh dear, I believe one of them got their hands dirty.
Can not even believe they let you fucking morons near those cars...... Couldn't find the remote to shut the car off? LOL
I thought your #1 hobby was to fuck up the work of many people at electronic conventions
#2 Must be to cowardly hide behind the monitors cowardly while you don't go to do a person to person apology to the Motorola and the booth people of CES.
*sigh* You guys have the lost the respect of so many people... It may be funny to some people, but group pics flipping the bird just reiterate the reason people don't consider blogs true press.
What's up with that tiny middle finger on the left?
You guys have so much fun, can I havz job plz?
@PlasmaMachine: Damn, that is tiny!
Put'em in a body bag.... (maniacal laugh)!
my guitarist in rock band has the same shirt as adam.
You guys FUCKING ROCK! Dont ever change.
Cant wait till next year.
that song never fails to make me smile. thanks. maybe you guys'd do better if you started off in a simpler contest. maybe car polishing or fence painting would be more your sort of competition. wax on/wax off instead of waxed out...
ban all the stupid whiners out there
*coughsing4englandcough*
You know what a good joke would be. For some stranger to constantly jump in front of the camera while you guys are trying to film your segment, thus interrupting your productivity.
Golly, I'm sure you guys would totally appreciate a joke of that caliber and not think the attention whore was obnoxious and immature.
you guys really got BANNED from CES?
Bill Gates must be proud.
@urkel: LIGHTEN UP. You have picture of Urkel as your avatar. Don't be such a dick.
@sing4england: Good good job job on saying cowardly twice, Rainman.
@chrisaroz: You have a monkey with a gun as your avatar. Please take the stick out of your ass.
Giz = infantile douchebags. Cowboy up, apologize for your asshole antics and admit you lowered the bar for *all* tech bloggers by acting like immature dicks. Announce a rule that you will no longer be pranking presentations with a third-graders idea of a joke.
Then we'll give a shit about everything else again. Seriously. We promise.
@matt1978 - We'll take the stick out of our asses when you take blam's balls out of your mouth. Fair enough?
@matt1978: @matt1978: @matt1978: Preach on brother, preach on.
@JimK: Start your own site, get a press pass for CES, cover CES, interview Bill Gates, scoop everyone on the biggest news stories of the show, become the definitive source for people to check, and still have fun while not joining the backrubbing good ol' boys club that is the print media ... and then complain about our coverage.
And I don't think you speak for the majority, so that "we" is a bit of an overstatement.
@PlasmaMachine: Typing's difficult
Who are the girls? hmmm :D lol
@matt1978:
I don't run a reporting blog site either...
and it's not a monkey, it's a chimpanzee.
Back to the topic, Benny and Frucci FTW!
Why isn't Chen and Brian in this?
I love this.
@slingblade: Chen and I were unsuccessfully attempting to score our readers some shots of the Meizu M8.
Love those dancing moves Benny!
@BENNY THE INTERN:
Hahaha what a pretentious douchebag you are!! anyone with a press -not blogger- pass can do what you did at CES and MANY would had been 10x more mature about it... Please you got a Bill Gates interview with a Press pass -again it wasn't a blogger pass-....... so to say the least I am not impressed, much less with the quality of the interview....
"become the definitive source for people to check"
The definitive? hahahaha keep dreaming dude, haven't you noticed how much the traffic has been in the low side since the CES incident? just look at the number of comments you receive now and before the CES incident, dude you are replaceable, gizmodo is easily replaceable... LMAO, and with the multitude of more mature sources for gadgets news I wouldn't call Gizmodo the definitive.
And yes JimK can say WE, [gizmodo.com]
you can start by reading all the comments and taking note on how many people thinks that the idiotic move that the gizmodo team did was pure idiotic, selfish, snobbery douchebag action and you can follow to see the reaction of other blogs and tech related news sources [www.google.com]
Stop the pretentious attitude, the stunt you pulled has and will continue to damage the credibility of this site -what it has left after the prank, the fanboy ass licking articles, the "I bitch about this gadget because it isn't the IPOD", etc-
Finally do you think that because Gizmodo "get a press pass for CES, cover CES, interview Bill Gates, scoop everyone on the biggest news stories of the show, become the definitive source for people to check, and still have fun while not joining the backrubbing good ol' boys club that is the print media ... and then complain about our coverage." is a valid reason to fuck up the work of the people at the booths and the people at the Motorola presentation????? BRAVO... Gizmodo is nothing but a bunch of Nerd douchebags!
Bmw F-1 team remebers me, of senna, and how the his crash turned up-side down the rules of the F-1.
@sing4england: Please, replace us with something else then.
@BENNY THE INTERN: Cat got your tongue Benny? can't say anything smarter than that? I am not surprised.
Who is the girl in the white shirt on the right? =)
@sing4england: And I invite you to check out our record breaking week of traffic before you make a factually incorrect comment. CES wasn't even going on Friday or today and we've had several times the amount of traffic we've had on recent Fridays and Saturdays. Get your facts right, that's what we do.

@sing4england: What's your full name buddy? Where do you work? It's easy to talk a lot when you are anonymous.
@Mark Wilson:
Quit playing around. You guys went back to play the Dildoes, didn't you? So when are you guys gonna get serious and put a band together? The Gizzmodo Sexband Experience. The name sells itself. You'll make hundreds.
@BLAKELEY: Thanks Blakester, I learned them from my good friend Adam Frucci
@BENNY THE INTERN: COOL GEEK OF THE WEEK!
[gizmodo.com]
@BENNY THE INTERN: Edmond Hill, not nice to meet you, full time photographer for the last 10 years with my own studio in Manchester, and for the record: you should start by introducing yourself and later ask for the name of the person ;)..you know "Benny The intern" is very anonymous too dude. So after this are you going to give me an elaborate and intelligent answer on why you believe gizmodo has the right to fuck up the job of people at a convention or not? and when I mean intelligent I don't mean the regurgitated response you guys have been giving until now.
@sing4england: I'm on the masthead, you can see my name and even e-mail me any time you want. Well dude, I'm done arguing, take it or leave it, if we're replaceable then replace us, and I've already spent too much time on you and this. Life is lonely for a man so perfect as yourself.
@Adrian Covert: May that video never die.
@slingblade: They were probably recording their AVN exploits.
@BENNY THE INTERN: I am not perfect by any means, but I know what respect means, a concept that you and many people at gizmodo will probably never understand, hope you all mature one day!
@sing4england: Then what are you doing around still, if your just gonna bash the site why even visit the site? I really doubt they care what you have to say at all, they have thousands of viewers. You say act mature, maybe you should lighten up and get the stick out of your ass and have fun once in a while, sound like a concept? Your just a disgruntled old man that doesn't even know what the word "joke" means. Seriously, nobody wants you around. GTFO.
@BENNY THE INTERN and @Adrian Covert: Haha Benny you're definitely the gizmodo cool geek of the week.
Why has this sing4england dick head not been banned yet, he's ruining all our fun.
BTW whine4england, get over yourself.
P.S. "Must be to cowardly hide behind the monitors cowardly while you don't", haha nice use of repetition - and it's "too" not "to".
Get spell check mate. You're filling the comments with crap.
@oat: AMEN to THAT!
@JimK: LAME COMEBACK ALERT
@sing4england: Have fun at your big important studio (also known as your parents' basement). You must be a joy to be around, with your self-importance and whatnot.
where is the video of engadget beating gizmodo?
CLEANUP IN ISLE THREE
(That's some pissing contest you've got going on here.)
