Why does Leo LaPorte hate Mario Kart? - a podcast by ApocD

I've been listening to Leo LaPorte's podcasts for about three years. I listen regularly to TWIT, MacBreak Weekly, the Tech Guy, and I've just started listening to Windows Weekly after picking up that XP laptop. Anyway, I like Leo, and although I sometimes dislike the guests/co-hosts on his shows, he keeps things centered and keeps me coming back.

On the most recent Windows Weekly, and on some other previous podcast of his--I can't remember--he made fun of Mario Kart and said it was for kids. This doesn't sound like the Leo I know. The Leo I know promotes technology. The Leo I know supports people who do things that the rest of the world thinks are for kids. Here's a quote from Windows Weekly:

"I'm Leo LaPorte. I'm so great and fantastic. Mario Kart is for kids. Anyone who plays Mario Kart is either a kid or a mental adult. The PS3 and Xbox 360 are the only real gaming systems. I'm so handsome and smart. You're all idiots who waste your lives playing Mario Kart. Don't forget to sign up for Audible, so you can add to my already overflowing coffers. How's my hair?"

Well well, Mr. Leo LaPorte, the Tech Guy, your hair's fine, but your opinions are ludicrous. On other (or maybe the same, I can't remember) episodes of his podcasts Leo has also said that 1) There are no games for the PS3 2) His Xbox 360 died. The Wii's sounding pretty good to me, Mr. Leo LaPorte, the Tech Guy. In the same episode, he said he'd just play Rockband. Hello Mr. Kettle, you're black. Rockband? That's a game for kids, Mr. Leo Laporte, the Tech Guy. For someone who's so involved with promoting technology, you sure are quick to dismiss it when you don't like it.

So, there you go, Mr. Leo LaPorte, the tech guy. Oh look, what's that coming after your podcasts? What's that flying in the direction of your podcast empire? That's right, Mr. Leo LaPorte, the Tech Guy, that's a blue shell, but you wouldn't know anything about that, now would you?
