I love all the publicity this is getting. It’s absolutely hilarious. The one criticism of the Daily Show clip is they label you a ‘hacker’ implying that you did something illegal and hacked into his MySpace account.

Drop the one offensive word above. Misuse of it on the national stage is uncool even if the effort itself was fun and in good humor. Remember people are tuning in — perhaps kids. To your friend, sure it’s descriptive. To others it will be offensive and erode your point.

So do you prefer to be called “Seattle Man” or “Hacker”?

Seattle Man seems woefully understated. Hacker, inappropriate because you didn’t hack anything.

Glad to see it posted! I got in at 11:15 last night, missing the clip when it was aired. I’m still spitting coffee on my keyboard.

Amazing! That is pretty funny they called you a hacker.

I certainly raised an eyebrow when they said “hacker”. Still, on the internet it’s always cool to be labelled as one.

Go, Seattle Hacker Man! This whole story is just classic.

Awesome. As others have pointed out, calling you a “hacker” doesn’t tell the whole story — and also implies you have some level of technical skill, which is clearly untrue. :)

But still, you can see it on Jon’s face — you cracked him up. Congrats, man.
