Title: NY Post sucks--tell me something i don't know Post by: WindiaN on July 25, 2006, 11:28:41 AM I don't know if any of you read Ken Jennings blog (i started reading it after a post on the woot blog awhile back), its pretty funny, rather nerdy and i find it to be fairly interesting. Well today the paper, which i'm ashamed to say is published in my state, absolutely BUTCHERED one of Mr. Jennings posts and published a ridiculous article (along with Fox News, anybody surprised?), here are the original entry and the Post article links:

I used to watch it religiously, then he came along and went on his incredible run. Once that ended, the show lost some appeal for some reason. I still TiVo it every night, but I delete it 99% of the time unwatched.

EDIT: an example of the posts on his message board: "WOW, Ken, you are NOT the person I thought you were; the funny, witty, smart Mormon boy. How dare you bite off the hand that fed you! You would be NOTHING and HAVE nothing if it weren't for Jeopardy and this blog is how you repay them?? I am a 42 year old woman (not 91, as you say the average viewer is). I have been a Jeopardy fan for years. I don't care that Alex is getting older, and I don't care that the set is still blue. You are not a good Mormon, but instead, you are a just a moron. I used to look up to you and have respect for you, but no longer. You should be ashamed of yourself. What?.....did all that m Very Happy oney go to your head and turn you into something evil? It sure sounds like it!" I bet she thought she was really clever for that mormon-moron pun!
