thebroken ep3(now with Mitnick)

[Grifter]

I don't think they're making fun of ramzi at all. They're just having a good time with a friend. If you go throuhg the pictures in Kevin's moblog you will see ramzi in there a number of times. It seems apparent that he is a friend, not just a joke.

[something/other]

Do you really need an answer for that?

Negative.

what's the harm?

The only thing that really offends me about the Broken is how they make fun of "Ramzi", the middle eastern guy for being... middle eastern. It's retarded, bigotted humor that even junior high kids would find stupid.

Hey Kevin Rose, how about you have some Mexicans huff gold paint or some blacks eat fried chicken on the Broken #4, that would be really "edgy" and "hackerish" and would have as much to do with hacking as the 4 "hacking with ramzi" segments i've seen.

Come on, man, it's not like they're holding a gun to his head. I think it's insulting to suggest that Ramzi doesn't realize why his segments are supposed to be funny. Like you've never snickered to yourself while watching a foreigner fumble through broken English before? It's ok, people from other countries do it too, relax. It's supposed to be stupid, that's the point. It's not exactly the funniest thing I've ever seen, but does everything have to be turned into a race issue? And have you ever noticed that no one's ever been called a racist for mocking white people for how stiff they generally are? People need to stop taking everything so goddamn seriously all the time. It's just a comic relief segment, what's the harm?

Asssuming they still do that stupid graphic for the Hacking with Ramzi segment (I got suckered into watching the first broken...that was once to much for me) it doesn't even say "Hacking with Ramzi" The Arabic there actually translates to "The Computer with Ramzi"

If others want to watch The Broken, go for it. Personally, if I wanted to watch stupid people make asses of themselves...i'd watch 20 minutes of porn instead..but I guess that's just me.

I don't know why people on thebroken are so hung up about closing threads. What's the problem?
I like the forums, there's a little more than a handful of knowledgeable people there. Thebroken, that is. They're a lot more active than the defcon forums, but mostly because of people asking the same questions over and over again there all the time, I think, not to mention most people here have jobs and whatnot I guess. I think defcon has very little fat to trim, if you will. Or something to that effect. I have no idea.
Jesus christ I'm tired.

Why don't you both quit yer bitchin' and just let the thread continue.

Post opinions about thebroken below.

[ck3k]

well, I dont think much of the defcon boards myself.. but Im entitled to my own opinion.

so before this turns into another stupid ass flame war I think a mod should really lock this.

okey, lets see here, you post on here claiming someone was BANNED and then you say to stop flaming, I think there is a double standard here.

I thought it was funny.

[converge]

did they mod the xbox with the software hack or with a modchip? Because any retarded monkey can do a mod chip.

you give kevin rose too much credit

...which makes me wonder.. why the fuck are y'all wasting finite moments of your life watching this crap? at least watch something useful in life, like the simpsons :p

They openned up an already modded xbox even with a different harddrive than the original. Then they recommended getting the Xecuter Lite+ since it takes a steady hand to solder the 8 wires. Then they put the xbox back together and mentioned evox and xbox media center. Finally they told people to go to www.xbox-scene.com

It seems like episode 3 is just recycling of techtv segments.
