@ed207: Actually, it was VERY good coffee. I'd have given FWG some space on the pages of Giz.....if I were a Giz writer.

FWG and the cookie lady made it the coolest press room I've used. I hope they're back for CES 2009.

For all you haters FWG is an awsome person, with a great personality that has the b...s to call himself FWG and not let this get his self esteem down like all of you think!!! FWG keep up the good humor, pay no attention to these haters!!! This is your favorite girl's @ UPA!!!

@superpope53: And I quote:

"Yes you, you guys wrote a story on the cookie lady but not the fat white guy serving coffee!"

There it is. Right there.

So what you're saying is that Gizmodo just made that quote up for no good reason? That makes all kinds of sense!

@superpope53: Yes, because they obviously have so much to gain from lying about this! Mocking FWG by lying about his words is just the first step...

Step 1: Lie about what FWG said.
Step 2: ???

How do you know he self-identified as FWG? You're assuming it's true just because that's what the people at Giz told you? ah yes, coz they'd never lie.

Maybe FWG could write a guest column for Giz? CES through the eyes of FWG? Seriously, if anyone has the scoop on suicidal Toshiba vice presidents canceling mortgages and pulling their kids out of school over morning joe, it's FWG.

@92BuickLeSabre: exactly. he either has a sense of humor or self-deprecating personality. either way who gives a shit. the real comedy is in the comments. we've got an asswipe and i do believe an assfuck being thrown around. who knew people could become so heated over a caucasan (non-hispanic) corpulent fellow who spilled something on his apron. how many of you just scrolled up to check out the apron?

As it appears like he himself sayed "...but not the fat white guy serving coffee", I think it's okay to pick up that line. Seems like he's got some self-mockery abilities.

I'm guessing he didn't ask to be known as the Fat White Guy, so just leave the poor guy alone, stop dishing out the insults just because he's not in perfect shape like all other americans are... wait, somethings not right there...
