Maybe you just need to stop ascribing sinister motives to innocent things. Maybe, just maybe, when I say I don’t know something, I also know a dozen well-meaning people will volunteer all sorts of information at me, at length, and I was hoping to avoid that. I write a lot of blogs and I know how it goes down. Geeks like telling people information! But it would waste both their time and mine, as it’d go right in one ear and out the other. It’s not something I’m interested in.

But, no, it’s actually because I’m an arrogant dick. Sure.

Being willfully uninformed and taking more time to flaunt that you don’t have the answer than it would take to find the answer is maybe not arrogance, but it is stupid.

keep fucking that chicken.

I would have said the same thing about basketball. If not caring about a favorite sport is considered arrogance, then I don’t think I’m the one with issues.

You gotta admit that there was an air of arrogance and superiority when you proudly said you didn’t know about nascar, when a google of “NASCAR 88″ would show Dale Jr as the driver. You went out of your way to egg on nascar fans in your audience. When your audience is made up of a lot of people who play with toy cars, odds are some of them like real cars too.

I don’t know much about NASCAR either, but Dale Earnhardt is one of those names that exists outside of the sport as much as in it. In the same way people who don’t know basketball might still know Kobe, wrestling still knew Randy Savage, or people who don’t know golf know Tiger.

But then I think I’ve criticized you enough for this month so I’ll wait until June to comment further.

Nascar is more boring than baseball, but now it has robots so I guess that’s something baseball can’t take from it.

NASCAR fans are feeling a little sensitive, lol. You guys are the only ones to start being insulting.

Seems like a pretty neat toy, regardless of what happens in the movie. I swear these reviews get me buying more toys than I regularly would.

Look, I AM NOT THE GUY WHO DESIGNED IT. I am merely pointing out the design philosophy. All three of the Wreckers are INTENTIONALLY designed to look like the stereotyptical idea of NASCAR fans. Leadfoot is FAT and has a BEARD. Remember Skids and Mudflap from Revenge of the Fallen? Gold teeth? Wigger slang? These guys are that, but with rednecks.

Don’t get all pissy at me, dude. Get pissy at Michael Bay.

Jesus HELL, NASCAR fans are touchy.
