Somebody hates Jim Sterling
david morgar | 9:17 PM on 12.08.2008 54 comments


Holy, shit! I know he isn't the nicest guy, but he managed to really piss someone off.

Some poor soul has posted a petition to actually kick Jim out of Destructoid. He/She hasn't had any success, though, as nobody has signed his stupid petition.

This is what was posted on the petition:

"Honestly, I am just sick of his sarcastic remarks all the time and biased reviews. Destructoid was way better when this moron wasn't ruining the fun for all of us. Just go to the website and see what an ass he is. He thinks he is very funny, but I know he is causing followers like me flee from Destructoid and go to Kotaku and Joystiq."

Also, the link for the petition cracked me up, just look at it:

http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/fuckjimsterling


So what do you guys think?

I signed it as Jim Sterling. This is a funny joke, but we all love us some Sterling once in a British moon.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jim made this petition himself.

LOL When I posted this no one has signed, now, almost an hour after, it already has 10 signatures, and obviously none serious. I would like the creator of this petition to come forward.

Wow, I never did realize how much of a grammar Nazi Samit is until this very moment. I really don't blame him. At least I try to use proper English while on the Internet, which is more than some people can claim.


But yeah, about that petition. When was the last time an internet petition worked anyway?

Holy shit, if this guy hates Jim so much, why doesn't he just go to Kotaku or Joystiq.

Jim could be fucking Hitler and Destructoid would still be 50 million times better than Joystiq.

The people at Kotaku are pretty much already Nazis with the way they ban.

If you don't hate Jim Sterling help fill out his Wikipedia page so that the idiot moderators over there don't delete it. Jim Sterling deserves better than that.

Jim Sterling can some times be a pompous dick. But I think I can tolerate him enough. He isn't a problem. He has an opinion just like everyone else. However, if you don't like what he has to say, don't read the articles. Simple. Sure he can have his head up his ass and seem like a douche bag, but can't we all?

Samit is right, individuals who can't use grammar correctly aren't real people.

This is cute. Also, I think it would be hilarious if Jim Sterling got an offical Wiki page before Destructoid did.

Hilariously, ironic for this petition-man.

I would have loved to sign it. His posts and comments have really started to get on my nerves lately. seriously. I will admit 1 out of 10 times he is kinda funny but the other 9 times I read something from him I wannna strangle him.

When I see his name by a post now I will skim through until I find something that irritates the shit out of me, usually takes about 5 seconds then I will just skip his post.

Its one thing to be cocky or confident when you have some serious accomplishments under your belt, its another to be such a critic when you have done NOTHING.

lighten up sterling. you cunt

These comments made me laugh. Especially MrSadistic and Pendelton, I LOVE THIS TOWN!

Whoever posted this petition must be delirious or hilarious. Petitions aren't magically going to grant you your wishes, ultimately it is dtoid who would consider the outcome. If anybody thinks that the staff would take a petition seriously, like ANY petition, then they are kidding themselves. This site lives and dies by it's editors and to 'fire' one of the unpaid would be to betray a friend. Not happening, and thats another reason that I love destructoid.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!

That's a shame, D-toid should a be a non fat fuck free zone.

Seriously, the guy's like a c-blog troll except HE'S THE GODDAMN REVIEWS EDITOR.

On any site worth their salt he would have been fired for that rant about L4D.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Get rid of one of best video game "journalists" on the entire internet. That would definitely help this site out.


I hate chan-babies sometimes.
