Bike 'Messenger'

Did you hear about the Manhattan investment broker (Christopher Carter, aka my hero in life) who got so tired of this annoying, overly emotive guy in his spin class (Stuart Sugarman) who refused to shut the fuck up (grunt-grunt: "You go, girl!!!!" "You go, girl!!!!") so he threw the guy -- and his "stationary" bike -- into a wall? (I'm guessing that got Sugarman to realize he's not the only person in the room and to start acting like an adult.) Kudos to the district attorney for only charging Carter with a misdemeanor. Personally, I think he should have been given the key to the city.

OMG! THAT IS JUST TERRIBLE KENNETH! Yeah, he was making all those horrible sounds - but i just don't believe the action was justified...It should have been dealt with in a different manner.

though i too think the guy was annoying he came close to being in a wheel chair for life thats pretty harsh he should have just "IF HE MUST" punched him a few times in the loud mouth jaw of his. even thats a bit much as he should have walked away but maybe investment banking is very stressfull and he just lost it and went a lil overboard, does he have to pay the guys medical though?

I'm been reading your blog for months, but CLEARLY you are a self hating homophobe for supporting and awarding this kind of behavior. Shame Kenneth. Is your masculinity threaten by effeminate men? They should be attacked and beat up? And your source, The NY Post is a descpicable homophobic paper.

God, it never ceases to amaze me how wrong people can perceive things. What are you talking about?

NO! NO! NO! This has NOTHING to do with butch vs. femme (is that even mentioned here?) It has EVERYTHING to do with someone being annoying in public and having no respect for other people around them. I CANNOT STAND people popping their gum at work or on the train. I CANNOT STAND people whistling in public. I CANNOT STAND people who make a spectacle of themselves and even when they're asked politely to be kind to others they think the rules do not apply to them so they go around acting like they're the only people in the world.

Sorry. But your assessment of my post could not be MORE WRONG if you tried.

Just curious... if the guy had become paralyzed or died, would it have been okay since the victim was "annoying in public" and disrespectful? There are people out there who think it's okay to beat up (or kill) someone for "annoying" them by holding hands with someone of the same sex in public. No, it's not the same thing, but the point is, it is not alright to lay you hands on anyone unless it is in self defense. If the spinner was so annoying someone should have complained to staff and had him kicked out of the club. Please... this ain't the Dark Ages.

Um, have you ever heard of hyperbole? :-)

I'm guessing the people whining here are also guilty of "Stewey" like behavior.

No, you're not building team spirit. No, you're not being amusing.
And no, you're not the only person in the room.

You're just a rude, clueless, self-absorbed jackass. And next time you think about "motivating" the rest of gym, just remember there are other Chris Carters out there... just waiting for you.

MWAHAHAHA!!!
