Somebody hates Jim Sterling
david morgar | 9:17 PM on 12.08.2008 52 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:

So what do you guys think?

Atlas's Destructoid Blog
I signed it as Jim Sterling. This is a funny joke, but we all love us some Sterling once in a British moon.
Mushman's Destructoid Blog
DAYUM!!

The 'faceless ones' strike again!!

;)


'For Realz', I'm extremely intrigued what community 'member' started this petition.

I guess............ nah, I won't cause unnecessary conflict in this here blog, thanks for bringing this to my attention!! :)
pendelton21's Destructoid Blog
Signed. SEE YOU IN HELL, YOU BRITISH FUCK.
Mirax's Destructoid Blog
I don't get all this hatred towards Jim Sterling. I always liked his articles.
Y0j1mb0's Destructoid Blog
Sadistic:

I didn't know you had a Free Rape for the willing petition.
Rygiz's Destructoid Blog
BAN THIS SICK FILTH!
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
yes, it is quite known actually
SnakeDude4Life's Destructoid Blog
I like this signer:

R3y Is_ghey: I support this petition, and I like men.
Puppy Licks's Destructoid Blog
I wouldn't be surprised if Jim made this petition himself.
Oh that british humor gets me every time :D
david morgar's Destructoid Blog
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.
Samit Sarkar's Destructoid Blog
"...but I know he is causing followers like me flee from Destructoid..."

The fuckhead can't even use proper grammar.
TrailerParkJesus's Destructoid Blog
lol I've never heard of an online petition actually getting anything done. Woo internet activism!
Aerox's Destructoid Blog
Uh oh! It's got 12 signatures! THE MASSES ARE REVOLTING!
RonBurgandy2010's Destructoid Blog
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?
pedrovay2003's Destructoid Blog
Woooooow... That's kinda scary.
Jordan Devore's Destructoid Blog
@Ron - You have no idea ...
garison's Destructoid Blog
Holy shit, if this guy hates Jim so much, why doesn't he just go to Kotaku or Joystiq.
Iron Dragon's Destructoid Blog
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.
Scottyman's Destructoid Blog
I signed as Jack Thompson. lol
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Can I sign a petition about how much I love Samit?
Cutie Honey's Destructoid Blog
You know you are personally the cause of its increase in signatures.

That said, I signed it.
Redzie's Destructoid Blog
Samit made me chuckle again with his grammeng skillz.
Conrad Zimmerman's Destructoid Blog
Oh dear. Looks like the petition is gone now. We'll be stuck with Sterling FOREVAR!
The Incredible Edible Egg's Destructoid Blog
Aww damnit, I signed it and I even managed to say something mildly witty, but its gone.
SnakeDude4Life's Destructoid Blog
ZOMG NOOOOOOOO!!!!!


MatCD's Destructoid Blog
It says the petition is down for me.
Endstiem's Destructoid Blog
MrSadistic.... that first comment made me choke on my coco pops.
nebones's Destructoid Blog
aw man
hpv's Destructoid Blog
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.

brainderailment's Destructoid Blog
Avatars?
Torzelan's Destructoid Blog
He is causing followers like me come to Destructoid and not needing Kotaku and Joystiq.

maxbraff's Destructoid Blog
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?

AgentMOO's Destructoid Blog
Samit is right, individuals who can't use grammar correctly aren't real people.
falinter's Destructoid Blog
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.
snotrocket's Destructoid Blog
Jim needs to change his god dam battery in his smoke detector! Stay off the podcast till you get rid of that bloody beeping!
pezking6983's Destructoid Blog
What a cunt!
Raccoonus's Destructoid Blog
I don't even know who we are talking about. Jim?
ZServ's Destructoid Blog
it wont happen because too many people love him :P
Kryptinite's Destructoid Blog
Jim is awesome! If anyone disagrees with me, fly down to Florida so we can have a chat.
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
He's actually listed as "Jim Sterling (journalist)" on Wikipedia? lol That's awesome.
big filth's Destructoid Blog
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
Half left's Destructoid Blog
Fix your avatar.

Also, signed ;]
Crunshii's Destructoid Blog
dont see the petition :(
perri's Destructoid Blog
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!
Mxyzptlk's Destructoid Blog
If this guy thinks Jim is bad, he should have been around during the Summa days.
Kyousuke Nanbu's Destructoid Blog
Its gone :(

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.
