Gizmodo Crazy Prank at CES 2008
Looks like Gizmodo’s crazy prank of swtiching TVs off at last week’s CES 2008 has backfired. They took some MAKE TV-B-Gone clickers and went on a rampage, turning off a lot of TVs and even at MOTOROLA’s press conference. Naughty indeed.
And for that, the Consumer Electronics Association has banned the Gizmodo’s staffer from attending any future CES events. How will they ever do that, face scanners ? Was it Bryan Lam ? So you guys, be nice out there. There is such a thing as Karma.
We have been informed of inappropriate behavior on the show floor by a credentialed media attendee from the Web site Gizmodo, owned by Gawker Media. Specifically, the Gizmodo staffer interfered with the exhibitor booth operations of numerous companies, including disrupting at least one press event. The Gizmodo staffer violated the terms of CES media credentials and caused harm to CES exhibitors. This Gizmodo staffer has been identified and will be barred from attending any future CES events. Additional sanctions against Gizmodo and Gawker Media are under discussion.
