Blockhead Stem with Integrated Brake Lever

Ingenuity? It’s a freaking block. Any freshman engineering student could come up with something just as crappy. It’s a stupid product, and the review is even more stupid. You guys should learn to think independently and use something called “critical thought.” Freakin’ brainless bloggers.

New? Shiny? who gives a crap. What happened to quality? And what sort of brainless turd puts his brake handle on the centerline of the bike? Oh I know, the same kind of feckless turd that uses short bars ‘cuz they look so rad. So much for being responsible cyclists. I look forward to the day when crap like this either goes away or is banned, so that regular cyclists can pedal about without having to be stained by the hipster/stupid blogger stench.

Puts it out there? What a completely stupid statement. Golly, why not give a shout out to all the other idiots out there that put something out there that, say, broke? Put it out there? Christ. Is someone supposed to take your crap seriously…….Tyler? I’m still waiting to see where you might have actually displayed intelligence, credibility, and the ability to do more than involuntarily breathe.

Let’s give Robin a break. After all, it must be really difficult being forced at gunpoint to read every site on the Internet whether you want to or not. Perhaps Robin got here after her/his (sorry, Robin’s a very ambiguous name) evil captor made him/her read several websites devoted to Glenn Beck/Bill O’Reilly fanfic, and the mood conveyed is only understood in the light of having to look at hundreds of thousands of things that he/she hates each and every day.

Oh Robin, my heart goes out to you, and I hope that wherever you are, you find a way out of what must be a horrible situation. When your torturer takes a nap or gets something to eat, you should take that chance to go on the offensive and run away, so that you can experience the freedom that comes from being able to simply not read things that don’t interest you.

But that’s just an idea; I’m just putting it out there.

WOW. How did something you *voluntarily* look at, purchase, and install get so much hate from one person. Robin posted on the home site for this thing also. I think this stem killed Robins Mother. Or more likely crushed Robins eggs…
Really, Robin, how do you get so worked up about something you dont want?
Personaly, I think it is a great idea. A simple, elegant and pretty brilliant advance. I will not buy one, because I dont like the block look, but I might make a “better looking” one, with the creative commons free 3D models. And that is also a great idea! What you say about “money grubbing marketing effort” really doesnt apply now does it? They are giving away the plans! So what if an engineering student could make this, did they? No. Here it is. Buy it, or dont, but either way, STFU and stop spreading your troll hate.
This hatred for “hipsters” sounds so much like carmudgeaonish ramblings of the guy that smells like piss on the subway. An old fart, that doesnt understand change. Without extremes breaking the way for the mainstream, there would be no technological advancement. Are you, Robin, willing to put your ego in front of progress? Have you invented something that the world should know about? Or are you (much more likely) an armchair critic, a dick in a dark room. How about going for a bike ride and relax before writing any more vitrol, eh?
