Ziff Davis staff holds impromptu GameSpot rally

A number of Ziff Davis staffers (including a few writers for 1UP, arguably GameSpot's biggest competition) recently crafted an uplifting banner and marched to the GameSpot offices just two blocks away. The demonstration was a response to the recent unexplained firing of GameSpot contributor Jeff Gerstmann. After hearing the rumors that Gerstmann was fired due to pressure from advertisers following his lackluster review of Kane and Lynch, the ZD staff decided to show their support for their fellow gaming journalist.

I really, really, really hate that girl holding up the right hand side of that idiotic sign. Like, loath. She's such a moronic twit! Anyways, this is nothing but a chance to pounce onto sympathy votes and get more subs and readers to their site and mag. It shows they are the compassionate ones and if they support their "fellow" reviewers so much... Why don't they offer Jeff a job where they work?

P.S. Look at that bunch of SLOP DONGS! Look at them... all of them. These are not normal people. Check out the dude in the last picture form the right on the bottom. He's wearing a yellow shirt a giant ass ear ring and lip stick. What the sam F*CK is going on here? These smacks are morons! They're all like 30 and they dress like they're 15 and that one TW@T RASH who I hate has a damn puppy in her purse... What degenerates. I mean, these are the people who need to be hit with missiles.

1.1 - WOW..

Thats a little harsh but i get were your going with it and i agree.

Everybody @ N4G look at these people. . . .This is where our game reviews come from, and its making me depressed. These people are losers.... a bunch of super dorks and ugly chicks.. i wouldn't be caught dead hanging out with them let alone accepting their "opinions" on my favorite games. Fu$k them... where are all the hardcore gamers at? their obviously not at GameSpot or 1up.. i'm tired of these happy go lucky gamers dressing like fruitcakes and hugging the nuts of major review sites. Their reviews are misleading and way off most of the time.. I hope GameSpot burns..

Edit to all below me...

Do my words irk you? good.... first off its not about fashion sense or being a " Hot socialite " its how you carry your self. i guess what im trying to say is if your a little hardcore yourself..( graffiti,music, a little violent, a little thugish) your probably asking your self "why would i listen to these corny mo fo's for?"

I find it odd that regular posters on a videogame website would negatively judge someone by their looks. You both must be hot socialites with a fierce fashion style, huh? I doubt it. Be nice, guys.

Nice thing they did supporting a fellow game reviewer who lost his job.

Those people need to worry about their own jobs. Isn't 1up as well as EGM on the verge of closing down? Its wrong for cnet to pressure their reviewers to give higher scores. But if they told Jeff and he decided to ignore them, then he should be fired. Why should they pay him if he doesn't do what they want? Welcome to the real world kiddies.

Anyways, they all look like the high school rejects who would sit by themselves in the cafeteria

Also, do you think that 1up is doing this in protest or self-absorbed publicity to make themselves look holier than thou?

Plus, they were filming this for the 1up show, which indicates they had profitable intentions in mind

Nobody cares!! NOBODY. CARES. This isn't the Broadway stage hand strike, this isn't a UPS strike, this isn't the Hollywood writer's strike... This is a bunch of ultra gamer geeks (Geeks, like the rest of us, especially the first virgin commenting on this topic) getting their panties in a knot.

Think about it: Stop a person on the street, ask them what they think about a guy named Jeff getting fired from Gamespot for a bad review of Kane and Lynch... they'll look at you like you've got three heads! The only people who would know is people like us with no lives who read these sites... representing only a fraction of all console owners out there. This is completely irrelevant.
