Kotaku, Owen Good: Surprise! That PS Vita Wasn’t Lost at the VGAs After All [Dec 11th, 2011]

I’ve no idea how Tumblr will resize this image, so I’ll go ahead and paste the Update to this story below. That’s the important part:

[Update] We’ve had a robust argument over whether or not this thing actually could have been lost. Whatever the case, Deadmau5 has told at least one fib in this scenario. Which do you think is more likely?

Deadmau5 is Obviously Lying. Did he …

[ ] Lose the Vita, and lie about finding it to cover his ass.

[ ] Always have the Vita, and lied about losing it as a publicity stunt.

Deadmau5 is “obviously lying.” Marvelous. Top-notch journalism there from Owen Good, and indeed from Kotaku as a whole, who have decided arbitrarily and with little or no supplimentary decision that Deadmau5 is lying through his teeth for one reason or another.

Their supporting evidence: he’s already “told at least one fib”.

Throw up a poll so one-sided that even the Fox News website would think twice about running it, and that’s it! Done! You’ve sparked a needless debate about fuck-all based on virtually nothing. Now all you have to do is sit back and watch the ad revenue roll in as idiots vote on the poll and pointlessly debate the subject in the comments. Brilliant.
