The woman deserves jail time.

I hope they give her the chair!!

Damn! I was hoping this was a report by Doyle Redland from the Onion Radio News. Big fan, big fan!

 
WallyVag  //  October 4th, 2008 at 2:54 pm

Can someone explain to me why people think the Onion is funny? Weak soup.

 
Will The Real Lastangelman Please Stand Up?  //  October 4th, 2008 at 3:57 pm

Very brave, WallyVag, going public about your humor-impairment. Most people shut up over fear of public ridicule, but you are obviously shame-impaired, as well. Ah, you must be John McCain!

“My husband and I have been trying for months, but so far, we’ve been unable to have an iPhone,” town assemblywoman Janet Nuetreer said.”

priceless. hahahaha

iPhone survived because it is cooler than hell-heat in a car.

Oh, the punchline. Gold.

 
iKEANE  //  October 5th, 2008 at 8:58 am

Authorities added that it was “just sheer luck” that the toddler who was also left in the car was unconscious at the time, as otherwise he could have potentially damaged the iPhone. ”

hahaha — finally something worth the read.

Since I invented the Ifone there is just one sentence: Guantanamo!
Ask my campaign team for further comments.

iPhone abuse?

One of my favorite things!

Money and success are pointless folks. The big dude covered in gold says so:

Pope criticises pursuit of wealth

The Pope says God’s word is the only veritable reality to build on The global financial crisis is proof that the pursuit of money and success is pointless, Pope Benedict XVI has told a meeting of bishops in Rome.

The head of the Roman Catholic Church said that the disappearance of money as banks collapsed showed that wealth meant “nothing”.

The Pope said that people should instead base their lives on God’s word.

Those who think that “concrete things we can touch are the surest reality” are deceiving themselves, he said.

‘Building on sand’

The crisis in the financial industry has seen billions of dollars wiped off the value of shares, and a number of seemingly untouchable banking institutions have been taken over, nationalised, or have collapsed.

Speaking to the bishops assembled at the Vatican, Pope Benedict said those who seek “success, career or money are building on sand”.

When he opened the Synod on Sunday, the Pope attacked modern culture, saying that “nations once rich in faith and vocations are losing their own identity under the harmful and destructive influence of a certain modern culture”.

The only thing hotter than iPhone is the Xbox.

Check this out. Xbox overheats, burns down the house. Let’s hope this will not become a common solution to the mortgage crisis:

Just stopping by to say aloha and adios and good fucking riddance to everyone. I’m handing off the handle (e-mail and blogspot account, as well as some electronic financial accounts I acquired playing the markets worldwide) to a real flesh and blood person (stand up, already, fuck-face, the joke is stale beyond the pale, already!), who is free to do with it as he may please as I’m sailing away from here.

Have fun, brush up on your survival skills as they’re going to come in real handy very soon, for the rest of you, see you at Andromeda in two and a half million years.

Anyone get the feeling that a tsunami is about to hit and we’re just ants minding our business at the beach?

 
Hooters Gurl  //  October 7th, 2008 at 10:11 pm

I think I can start a blog about my mammaries. How does “Fake Hooters Gurl” sound?

 
SamG  //  October 8th, 2008 at 4:41 pm

@Hooters Gurl: start a blog, brand the heck out of it, then sell out to ballmer.

 
about:internets  //  October 9th, 2008 at 2:55 pm

iPhone abuse…pfft, more like blog neglect.

 
Hooters Gurl  //  October 9th, 2008 at 10:46 pm

Great idea! Time to upgrade anyway. Let’s star the bidding for my funbags at 2000 american dollars.

 
Keith Kruger  //  October 10th, 2008 at 1:41 pm

Gee! Another huge surprise! another week passes without a post…let alone having anything worthwhile written. Dan, I hope Newsweek pays you well…it’s the least they can do since you’re driving away all your previous fans.

 
SamG  //  October 10th, 2008 at 4:00 pm

@Keith K.: According to Newsweak HR manual, tech writers and bloggers are not allowed to use company’s Internet connection. Then there is some small print about working in the field, meeting people, gettin’ out there and spreading the brand.

Dan, Verizon Wireless / iPhone Wireless, have you heard of it?

More surfing, more blogging.

And remember: No RISC, no fun (this is HP’s best advert ever).

Do some RISC dude, write something.

 
Bob  //  October 10th, 2008 at 5:41 pm

This guy’s a bum.

 
po po  //  October 13th, 2008 at 8:28 am

total blog abuse/neglect.

The guy has thousands of followers and we get a link to the onion which stays up for 8 days and gets 30 comments.

What a douche

 
colin  //  October 13th, 2008 at 5:08 pm

This is an ex-blog.

 
Eowyn  //  October 13th, 2008 at 5:25 pm

To RealDan:

Please take down this blog. It’s dead. You rarely post, and when you do, it’s a lame effort. Just give up & stop pretending you actually have a blog.

 
Hillary's Bumblefuck  //  October 14th, 2008 at 11:25 am

All the pieces are in place. Time to knocken offer das domino und let Operation Palindrome begin. You phoughers neffer knowen vas hitten you!

 
Will The Real Lastangelman Please Stand Up?  //  October 14th, 2008 at 11:29 am

Dan, I’m going to grab a bunch of these no lifers and stage an intervention if you don’t go back to posting soon. Do you remember this post?

 
Bobby  //  October 14th, 2008 at 12:00 pm

Аccidently i found this blog. It is interesting

 
Will  //  October 14th, 2008 at 12:53 pm

I hope you don’t fuck as badly as you blog, because if you do I’m going to send some flowers to your wife to cheer her up. Seriously, dude. You suck, and you’re fired.

 
Will  //  October 14th, 2008 at 12:56 pm

hehe just joking.
blog more :-D

 
Will Not  //  October 14th, 2008 at 1:06 pm

Ok, I contradict myself often. Don’t quit your desk jobs. Get it? Jobs?

 
qqqq  //  October 15th, 2008 at 2:33 pm

This is goodbye Dan. I was a faithful reader of Fake Steve(I even bought your books) and I WANTED to be a faithful reader of Real Dan. But this has gotten pathetic. No posts in almost 2 weeks? It’s gotten to the point where I feel like an abused girlfriend, constantly coming back for more and getting nothing. And that’s when you know it’s time to quit. I wish you luck in all of your endeavors and thanks for all the laughs. Goodbye.

 
Zzzzzzzz  //  October 15th, 2008 at 4:18 pm

Dude, no posts about about anything — a day after a major Apple announcement featuring Geriatric Jobs? If Newsweek has your balls in a jar, you need to hang up the blog or get them back. This is worse than pathetic.

 
Mikee  //  October 15th, 2008 at 4:36 pm

so, I was wondering where-o-where RD could be, when it finall hit me. He’s probably busy gigging with The Boss:

http://www.paradiseartists.com/artists/max_weinberg/index.html

If you squint and turn your head sideways, you kinda see the resemblance. Who knew?!

 
Keith Kruger  //  October 15th, 2008 at 6:56 pm

Isn’t the point of being a writer to WRITE? Was having a fan base too much responsibility for you Dan? This is fuckin’ lame and since you’re the asshole who invited us all here, you ought to have enough balls to either pull the plug or write the fuckin’ blog!

 
SamG  //  October 15th, 2008 at 8:40 pm

Fellow blog readers (and writers – because we often write more in comments than author in his posts), I suggest we start our FRRD blog (Former Readers of Real Dan blog). If the leader has fallen (prey) to a megalithic and evil newsweak corporation, we must carry on: the torch, the free speech, the tekknotard commentary, everything.

Dan-O ain’t gonna write much on this blog. His best blogbytes were posted on FSJ. As the young poet said… well, you get the picture.

Boy, have you guys seen those new Mac laptops? They come with graphics AND suspension. Lowriders.

 
real last try  //  October 15th, 2008 at 9:39 pm

Shut it down. Pls
Its dead.
It simply didn’t work. Let’s all move on. Good luck at newsweek.

 
Bob  //  October 16th, 2008 at 3:08 am

Why do I feel like someone who is stopping to stare at the wreckage of a car crash? We need Blog Police: ‘Move along everyone. There’s nothing to see here.’

 
Jennifer P  //  October 16th, 2008 at 10:24 am

Yep, it’s time to go. Bye Dan, thanks for everything.

 
Rick  //  October 16th, 2008 at 1:32 pm

Are you working or something? Where are the new posts?

 
Mozart  //  October 16th, 2008 at 1:38 pm

Is this Real Dan’s Symphony no. 9? If so, I understand….
Now can someone call Mozart a pizza?

 
Sarah Palin  //  October 16th, 2008 at 1:45 pm

Vote for me and I’ll blog everyday! You betcha! You want a hockey blog? I’m the ultimate hockey MILF! You betcha!

 
ParahSalin  //  October 16th, 2008 at 1:50 pm

This is the post from Sarah Palin on vacation. ParahSalin. Get it?

Dude.

Dan-O is ParahSalin at newsweak. Man’s got to eat, we have to understand that.

 
dvorak  //  October 16th, 2008 at 4:44 pm

I’m sure Dan’s just getting settled into his fabulous new JOB we can all envy him for.

 
skids544  //  October 16th, 2008 at 11:27 pm

Dan…you have just been de-bookmarked.

 
G-Rock  //  October 17th, 2008 at 5:14 am

Dan, did you shut down? Sad, that.

 
Obama Bin Palin  //  October 17th, 2008 at 6:04 am

Did somebody say barbecue?

 
Dan l  //  October 17th, 2008 at 8:52 am

Dan? Need we poke you with a stick? Blog for us, now!

 
tao54  //  October 17th, 2008 at 9:37 am

Let’s see, you spend years building an audience as FakeSteve, most of whom stuck with you after you were “outed”…you move over to this space, then just crash and burn. If you wish to “monetize” your content, the only way to do that is to kep things fresh and the clicks coming. But there’s been nothing from you in nearly 2 weeks. Perhaps you need to walk away. It was a good run, but…

 
nasraidub  //  October 17th, 2008 at 11:54 am

He lost a fortune in the stock market and is now concentrating in regaining some of it. Writing this blog might disrupt his zen.

He’ll be back. Or not.

 
Bob  //  October 17th, 2008 at 2:10 pm

Let’s face it, the guy’s a bum.

 
FSJ  //  October 17th, 2008 at 2:18 pm

Dan-O, dude, or shall I call you “father”?

As a figment of your imagination, my picture is disappearing quickly (as in “Back to the Future”, remember? Same kinda deal) because events in the present are erasing the future, which happened just yesterday.

Let’s do what we do best, father, take a deep look at ourselves in the mirror (aka check ourselves out in the mirror) and figure out next steps.
