Meet Your Editors

A publication wanted a site photo from our press kit and we’re like, uhh, we don’t have a photo. So we went out and Gawker’s resident photog Nikola Tamindzic [nsfw] snapped this one of us yesterday. Full version inside.

The%20Consumerist%20-%20Carey%20Greenberg-Berger%2C%20Ben%20Popken%2C%20Meghann%20Marco.jpgLeft to right, Carey Greenberg-Berger, Ben Popken, Meghann Marco.

So that’s what we look like. Rar!, I mean, hello.

    So that is what Megan “I cannot spell or use correct grammar to save my life” Marco looks like!

  2. dmolavi says:

    @donnie5: dude, at least spell her name right…unless it was intentional…

  3. DjDynasty says:

    Carey is SUPER HOT! Ben I’ve seen before on the video fee’d of him on TV shows. Megan I thought was from Chicago, not NYC.

  4. Zgeg says:

    @trai_dep:

    Not even close..

    Meghann- Bass
    Ben- Vocals and Guitar
    Carey- Drums

    The girl is always the bass player…

    Can you folks stopping being so funny? You’re making it wicked hard to be angry with the AT&T rep who has had me on hold for over 20 minutes…

  7. nardo218 says:

    Hey, Meghann –

    How *you* doin?

  8. scoobydoo says:

    @donnie5: If you are going to complain about her spelling, at least spell her damn name right.

    It’s right there in the introduction.

    Good looking group of people, and yes; I too thought that Carey was a chick.

  9. killavanilla says:

    Sweet pic.
    You guys look like an alt-rock band, complete with attitude….
    :-)

  10. Tallanvor says:

    @faust1200: Oh, come on. With that picture, he can undress me however he’d like.

  11. RandomHookup says:

    So who will play them in the movie “Consumerist Strikes Back”?

  12. Schalicto says:

    Holy Crap Ben! You look like you could punch Chuck Norris in the chin fist and live to tell about it!

    Great pic gang!

  13. davebg5 says:

    @RandomHookup: Darth Marco?

  14. @kakashisan: I second that vote!

  15. wring says:

    aw is Carey ghey?

  16. gibsonic says:

    Meg looks like a slightly prettier version of this psychotic chick i dated in college. hopefully for Meg and company, beauty and psychotic behavior are inversely related.

  17. lowlight69 says:

    i know, its trendy but, Meghann is a hottie.

    if only i was single… and we lived on the same side of the US, and she thought self loathing geeks were hot, and into triathlons, then…. you know….. we could ah…. well, its all a “moo point” anyway (anyone remember where that one is from?)

    “a moo point, a cow’s opinion, it doesn’t mean anything” :) :):):)

  18. vonskippy says:

    Is that her real ear, or sometype of NORAD/BORG modification?

  19. PsychicPsycho3 says:

    @kakashisan:

    More sausage, less pics of girls!

  20. jkaufman101 says:

    Is Carey single? I wanna know! Hottie!

  21. Kos says:

    Was this shot in Nolita? Looks like Nolita.

    ben looks like a dorky version of Eric Murphy from Entourage.

  22. badhatharry says:

    Hey, listen, while I have all three of you together, you think you guys could get Meghann to stop calling me and coming by my place and hiding in the bushes and stuff?

  23. muddgirl says:

    I’d hit it… (and I DON’T mean meghann)

    …(well, I DO mean meghann, but only if it was some weird comedic situation, so we could both pretend we were still straight).

  24. GothamGal says:

    I would like to add that Carey is hot.

  25. Antediluvian says:

    Is Ben wearing a forbidden Wal-Mart Nazi t-shirt?

  26. Trai_Dep says:

    Okay, second vote: boxers, briefs or commando (and who, d’accord)

  27. Benny Gesserit says:

    Consumerist: Save the shopper, save the world.

    Congrats on the photo – it’s a triumph over the bland offerings most press kits hold.

  28. Uriel says:

    Ben, check your email, I thought you guys needed sme bad-ass staches.

  29. kidnextdoor says:

    @trai_dep:
    Ben: boxerbriefs
    Carey: boxers, until it’s laundry time…then old tighty-whiteys
    Meghann: definitely commando. all the time.

  30. bkaid says:

    I am outraged that Ben is not wearing a ConEd uniform!

  31. mk says:

    I guess I know too many guys named Carey – becuase I always knew he was a guy.

  32. bkaid says:

    @gruffydd:
    And Ben looks just like the PC guy from that commercial. Seriously.

  33. INTPLibrarian says:

    /whistles/ Woo-hoo, hot!

    Everyone will just have to wonder which one I’m whistling at…

  34. Yozzie says:

    @TedSez: Yes!

    I think the look on Meg’s face says “Smolder now, boys, but I will own the comments thread…”

  35. ElizabethD says:

    Cool lighting. Nice job by the fotog. You all look great!

  36. MoogleLally says:

    You guys all look so trendy!

  37. reykjavik says:

    Wow! Meghann’s a hottie :)

  38. Trai_Dep says:

    @kidnextdoor: yeah, pretty similar guesses on my part, too. Tho think Meghann might wear low-cut bikini w/ unicorn prints, for the irony value.

    Carey: judging by the picture, either he’s hung like a stallion (neighh!) or wears briefs (his bulge sets TSA officials scrambling to make sure it’s not ticking). Tighty-whities so as to lull his dates into a false sense of security, then he prounces: ¡carumba!

    Ben, yup. Boxer briefs. He owns some boxers though. The kind that glow in the dark. So after Lights Out, he can find his way back to bed after flossing, his honey cooing, “Marco… Polo… Marco… POLO!” seductively in the dark.

  39. no.no.notorious says:

    snazzy

  40. Obviously a Pixies cover band…

    and since someone from Deadspin (besides me!) might be reading…Dude, dude, yes.

  41. crimsonwhat says:

    Meghann is gorgeous!

  42. zolielo says:

    Carey not a girl?

  43. BeastMasterJ says:

    OMG! WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH CONSUMER ADVOCASY?!?!? YOU GUYS ARE THE SUCK!!! WEARS THE PIC OF CAREY AND BEN AND MEGHAN JUMPING THE SHARK?!?!?!?!

    …Well, SOMEONE has to make a comment like this for these stories, and since none of you took the intiative, I thought I’d do that sacred duty.

  44. omgyouresexy says:

    Thats a really cool picture actually. Kudos to the photo tweaker and photographer.

  45. phripley says:

    Am I the only one who wishes that the shot had been more like the other work in the photographer’s portfolio? More tatoos less clothing.

    Also, what’s the deal with the Wall Street backdrop. I thought we were keeping it real in Crooklyn!?!

    Hmm on closer inspection that could be dumbo.

  46. Roundonbothends says:

    Great shot. Don’t worry about it!

  47. synergy says:

    @edjusted: Damn! You beat me to it. I also thought it looked like a “Heroes” promo:

  48. yvette says:

    Woah, you guys are spunky! And possibly superheroes.

  49. odoketa says:

    Did you all check out Nikola’s page? I have a camera, but it doesn’t do that! And she made y’all look rockin’! Wow!

  50. rbb says:

    Ben looks almost exactly like his father did over 20 years ago.
