Internet Drama Goes Skiing

The boys here at BroBOMB have really been milking the SIA coverage. I get it, it’s a big deal and you worked super, extra hard, but come on dudes, it’s snowing in the real world. (And by Real World, I am talking about DC, even though on the show it’s magically summer and not the midst of the storm of the century. There is also some bitch who is complaining that she needs to go home cause she can’t last 6 WEEKS without her boyfriend, or something. Anyway, I feel like I may be getting off track.)

I ventured over to this Wordpress back end as opposed to my own, because while my hate mongering towards skiers is mostly for show, I felt the video submission YoBeat received recently and the attached story may better be suited for the BroBOMB readership. Allow me to introduce Jeremiah Paquette, aka Jermagain.

Hopefully you enjoyed that little vid, as Jeremiah made it to prove a point: Snowboarding is easy, but skiing is easier. Apparently this was his first day shredding on two planks this season. But don’t worry, that’s not the good part of the story, or the reason I posted it. No, the real reason Jeremiah made this video is out of pure spite! You see, as Jermagain, he is a frequent commenter on REELcomp, a sort of extreme Youtube where kids post their videos and make fun of each other. Apparently, the kids trying to show off their skills don’t appreciate Jermagain’s subtle brand of hate-filled humor though, and he recently received this letter:

Hey Jermagain,

This is Reelcomp. I have been monitoring the comments being posted. I have noticed that you have been posting alot (sic) of “hater” comments. This has to stop. Snowboarding and skateboarding are progressive sports. This site is trying to progress the sport. People who receive these type of comments are taking it offensively. I understand if you are joking around, but a lot of users don’t see it that way. Plus they have all asked for you to post a video. We have yet to see any from you. Maybe you can show your skills… I’m sure plenty of users would like to see.

So this is a warning… We like it when people post stuff that is negative but has a point to it… We don’t appreciate people trying to bag all the time. So can you please stop.

REELcomp–

So this video is Jerm “showing his skills.” Since you, the BroBOMB reader are clearly more sophisticated when it comes to skiing standards than us hacks over at YoBeat, I figured you may have some insight to offer. Does this kid have the ski-cred to hate on whatever he pleases or should he hang it up and find a new hobby?
