New Video! The Adventures Of Getting Meg To Wear Her Lab Coat
Yes, it's hard to get Meg to cooperate and be a team player. Check out the newest Tip Jar Video (we're at $7,947.74 through donatetoconsumerist.com, can we get to $10k?) to see what Ben had to go through to get his rascally co-editor to play ball and wear her lovely powder blue lab coat.
Poor Ben.
He just wants to take his work seriously!

@pecan 3.14159265: While Meg is as cute as Jenny Aniston(I totally did not mean that in a creepy stalkey way, I SWEAR), I don't thing Ben is that bad a boss:
@squinko: Nor have we seen any of the "Why isn't Meg in a thong bikini?" crowd either...such simple blessings.
@theblackdog: Hey, the consumerist is competing for my Internet dollars, they need to step up to the plate with their "A" game. We're in a recession you know - I only have so many to spend, and I have to put them where they best meet my needs.
Oh well, off to watch re-runs of The Man Show and plan my budget.
@WaywardSoul: The fact that you watch The Man Show explains the behavior you exhibited in your post.
Does this qualify for a disemvowling or is the ban hammer needed?
@triscuitbiscuit:
New Credit Card Rules Won't Stop You From Making Bad Decisions
The blog post, not the comment. I can see the confusion, though.
@WaywardSoul: You know, there's being complimentary, then there's being just plain creepy. It's things like this that would make even ME not do a video(and I'm pretty open, if my avatar is any indication), if it led to comments like this amongst others. Have a little decorum and class.
Meg is the Co-Executive Editor of a website that gets MILLIONS of hits, possibly daily if not certainly weekly. She is an intelligent person who also happens to be a woman. If you have no respect for her gender, than at least have some for what she has/is accomplishing along with her colleagues on a daily basis.
Sorry for getting so nasty, but there is a line, and you crossed it.
@Jenkinsbball: There are no words that describe how angry this comment makes me.
For what it is worth, I apologize on behalf of my gender for jerks like this.
@Jenkinsbball: Seriously man. I was thinking "wow she's cute. Maybe I should write a comment that says 'wow meg's cute.'", but then you crawled out of your mom's basement with that post.
Dude - boundaries.
@WaywardSoul: I'm sure Meg will be hurt if you use your money to renew your subscription to your favorite porn sites rather than donate it to The Consumerist.
Would you be willing to donate if Ben was seductively washing a car, wearing a banana hammock? (Now there's an idea! ;)
@Jenkinsbball: You know that there's free porn all over the rest of the Internet, and you don't need to creep-ify this place?
@PartOfIMAXConspiracy_GitEmSteveDave: Nasty? That was let off very very mildly, judging by the Internet Hate Machine standards. I mean, it was perfectly well reasoned and zero name calling!!
@squinko: Now THAT certainly would convince me to donate again!
@PartOfIMAXConspiracy_GitEmSteveDave: Seriously. I mean I have made my share of "Meg is as cute as a button" comments, but they are always complimentary and respectful. That comment is just plain disgusting.
No need to apologize on behalf of our gender though. He does NOT speak on behalf of all guys. He is just a random creep who happens to be a male.




















Am I the only one who wonders what's in the 2nd door on the left that no one goes into? And please promise us you will not turn Captain Duval Moneycat into the Scrappy-Do of this "Scooby-Do" series.
Also, I'll wear it Ben!
