I am amaized at the prank Gizmodo pulled at CES in Las Vegas this week.  They had the odacity to start turning off TVs and monitors everywhere they went at the show.  Most disruptive was during keynote speeches from industry big shots.  I’m not opposed to having a little fun but the fact that they did this repeatedly was over the top.  Being an event and expo producer myself I can say that I would without a doubt have kicked these jokers out of the show and blacklisted them.  I would have also held their company responsible for not putting a stop to this in the beginning.  The culprits went beyond he level of being funny and as I read Jaiku and some blogs, people don’t think this is a big deal.  Let me tell you that when a company like Motorola pays probably over $100,000 for everything that they had and did at CES they don’t want the negative publicity they are getting from the video that’s going around the net showing their speaker perplexed as to what to do during his speech.

This was childish of Gizmodo and if I were the floor manager or producer of CES I would ask for the culprits to be fired and ask Gizmodo to not return next year.

This is just my 2cents.
