    You know what kinds of threats are legal, Mr. Nosowitz? The kind where I threaten to smother you with hugs and gummy bears.

    For the record, Brian Lam is just as bad as driving. But no when cares if a Toyota Avalon winds up wrapped around a lamppost.



    Also, Blam is smart enough to know how to threaten people within the bounds of the law.



    "Sure is a nice commenting account you got here. It'd be a shame if a BanHammer were to fall on it."



    He is from NJ after all.

    SO much history here on the tech blogs.



    The best reading has been here and over at Engadget over the years.



    GOOD TIMES, PEOPLE!

    It's funny, reading about this guy a few years back is what made me find Gizmodo (I mistyped Gizmondo into Google).



    Ah, memories.

    @deathshadow391: So lets have the article about the head of Gizmodo to show how the two are different. What type of Ferrari does he drive? Which county's mafia is he a part of? And what type of threats does he make? The people demand to know!

    @NurseDave:



    You demanded:



    Brian Lam, head of Gizmodo (the failed tech blog that couldn't even plagiarize the name of Gizmondo correctly), was sentenced to 1.5 years in prison for robbery, attempted blackmail and making illegal threats (which threats are legal?).



    Lam, whose story reaches Mark Sanford levels of ridiculous, is famous for crashing a rare Volkswagen, escaping at least one prison sentence, possibly having a movie made about him, leading some sort of mafia in the U.S.A in the 1990s and making a blog nobody ever wanted, ever. Referred to in his native English as "nerd Brian," because he's a nerd, Brian will serve 18 months in prison for his multitude of mafia and gadget-related crimes. Brian is a hilarious dirtbag the likes of which we rarely see in the tech world and he'll be missed, at least theoretically, maybe.





    I <3 Brian Lam and Gizmodo.

    Really Blam? Gizmondo: The Movie scares you?


    Try Gizmodo: The Motion Picture.


    I'm sure we can get Antonio Banderas to play Jesus. I mean, how much time does it take for him to do voiceover work for Nasonex commercials?

    Shall we begin making a low-budget straight-to-DVD movie about the rise of a gadget blog entitled "Gizmodo: The Motion Picture?" It could be released at about the same time as Gizmondo: The Movie to cash in on the confusion.
