In the great tradition of the French, Loic has surrendered. His Maginot Line did not hold. The French people have spoken, and they want their 1938 Media. That, and the fact that Loic is soft. The ban has been lifted, welcome back Frenchies.

Wait a minute. Is he saying that he actually likes your work? That apology does not go nearly far enough as he failed to address the most slanderous point of his criticisms; he did not repudiate his earlier erroneous comments calling you racist.
This whole episode just goes to show how easy it is to stir the crackpots. Give a person a keyboard and he immediately becomes an omnipotent tough guy. Take your apology and shove it Frog.
ReplyWhat about demand #5? Did What’s His Name declare December 18th Loren Feldman Day?
ReplyYou have serious problem guy, I hope there are good doctors in your country
PS: It’s not “viva la france” but “Vive la france”
ReplyI like Loic a lot, but man, ‘He’ apologized? I like your videos (really), but if I had a company (which I don’t) and I lived in San Francisco (which I wouldn’t) and you talked that way about my startup, I’d be on the first plane down here to make you swallow your teeth. You ever think that if there was one ball in the whole tech community, you’d long ago be a dead man? Other than that, keep them coming!
ReplySeth,
ReplyI’ve often wondered the same thing. Truthfully though, I could take any of them in a throw down, they know it too.
“Somebody is calling me racist ? How dare he ! I’ll just ban an entire country, just to show him !”
Impressive logic.
Replyhaha, spot on Johnson - clearly this closet case is lacking in the brights…
ReplyWhat a wonderfull country!!! With these comments and videos we can see a true face of America (fortunately not the majority). I mean a set of rednecks and disrespectful peoples… I was in school with few americans and I was frighten by their poor cultural and language levels. They were only able to speak about the USA and only in English. We can conclude that they are very open-minded… (Guys, it is a joke. I’m not sure that you can do the difference between an ironic or a normal sentence). And it is very interesting to notice that you don’t understand why a lot of people hate you and your point of view around the world. Remember boys, rednecks and disrespectful peoples…
ReplyYo bro I am on Lafayette Street in Manhattan gagging on my Freedom Fries. What does Sarkozy have to say about all this? I mean, is there a U.N. resolution or something?

ReplyThese men are charged with cowardice!
ReplyMy pappy drove a tank through the hills of Belgium (along with many other rednecks) because some others had their collective heads up their asses for too long and lost the farm (elitist/socialist/spineless european fuckheads)
Rednecks Get’r done!
Bring it…
ReplyLoren, I will fight along side you to the ends of the Earth. Not that we need to go that far to quell the French…
ReplyTiga
Your pappy was a hero, like all of our boys who saved their sorry asses.

I’d be lucky to have you next to me.
G-D Bless America, the backbone of the internet.
Reply@ Tiga Beck
Your response make certain my own previous comment about rednecks and America. You do a confusion with very different ideas. I mean the reasons of the WWII and the reasons of the americans’ intervention. You don’t play part in the war for innocent motivations (i.e. bullshit like freedom/democracy, e.g. the war in Irak). During the WWII America increased his GDP and his prosperity with the support of war economy. And Roosevelt knew that… I think that you have perhaps many problems with historical background and political concept (i.e. elitist/socialist/spineless european fuckheads)…
But your particular case is not so important. It is only helpful to illustrate my topic about the link between America and rednecks (and their lack of culture).
ReplyCould you please re-ban france ?
ReplyWe don’t need your trolling.
Nicolas,
Anytime you want to converse regarding politics, American and/or European history, let me know. Thanks.
ReplyJohnson
You’re on my site you dumb French bastard, you cant stop coming here can you?
Replyouf, on a frôlé l’incident diplomatique !
Replylike I said Nicolas…
“elitist/socialist/spineless european fuckheads”
you’re a perfect example.
But no worries will come back again if we’re needed and our economy will prosper for doing the right thing… yet again.
Reply3 contradictions in one sentence.
The French are nothing if not interesting.
ReplyThe U.S. wouldn’t have joined England’s fight against Hitler if it hadn’t been for the indomitable efforts of a European “fuckhead”, Winston Churchill, whose mother was American, for those of you innocent of history.
He actually had to resort to sending undercover agents here to disseminate propaganda and bring a reluctant, isolationist American public around to the cause against the Nazis.
What a short memory some of my countrymen have.
It wasn’t so long ago that hundreds of thousands of the French people gathered all over France to honor our citizens and “guests” who were murdered that awful day– September 11, 2001.
I even recall that the influential French daily Le Monde ran an editorial titled We Are All Americans.
ReplyMamonazo, estás jugando con fuego, eres el follonero y Risto Mejide juntos pero descontrolados. Ten cojones y bannea también las visitas desde España.
Reply“During the WWII America increased his GDP and his prosperity with the support of war economy.”
SO Stupid.
ReplyPls learn economics.
Estamos jugando con fuego?
Oh no… Tengo miedo ahora.
ReplyI am happy with this prosperity. Cheese for everyone.
ReplyAloa @ All !

Replycourrrou courrou coucouuu ( please, sing when reading it
and never forget it, now we got … Carla Bruni !
bravo !!! et vive les patates françaises chez vous…french fries for everybody !
ReplyMy little cheese/bait has done wonders today. The euro-trash rats are gobbling it up like crazy.
you’re my hero Loren
ReplyYou’re an ignorant low-life, Beck.
You don’t know American History, much less World history.
You think the countries that Nazi Germany invaded were collectivist.
The collectivist communists in the U.S.S.R. were our ALLIES in World War II, you ignorant dope.
THEY made the countries they occupied at the end of the war collectivist.
ReplyI spit at thee and laugh at your assumptions.
Chew that cheese Rat boy.
ReplyWhy are you talking about politics? That’s so lame and most of you don’t know shit about European and American history.
Keep focused on the topic, if you know what it is!
Reply@Vince Williams
stop reading Wikipedia!!!
@Feldman
you MUST try to win the ‘Triangle Racist Masters’ trophy!
you got the Blacks! the French! but you are just missing the ARABS. and you know how easily they get offended (Moh….).
Replyi give the video a score of 8
‘embargo has been lifted’ - so good.
Reply@zxspectrum
I didn’t have to read Wikipedia to know that, though Nazi Germany did invade one collectivist country, the Soviet Union itself.
Who are you to tell me what to do anyway?;-)
Dear Livia,
Please don’t be upset, I just had to fuck with the idiot.
ReplyJust let’s things clear :
ReplyYou were called a racist by Le Meur. So you decided to punish the whole country of this guy …
Isn’t that showing that you’re actually a racist ?
@Vince Williams
i don’t know…Vince Williams sounds more like a porn-star name than an historian.
who am i? I Am Your Worst Nightmare!!! (ever time that i hear this line in a movie i torture my Cat;)
Replysorry loren… i was just having some fun screwing with vince’s sorry ass
Replyyou know you’ve been successful when those getting fucked think their doing the fucking… Vince
now that’s makin bacon!
ReplyZxSpectrum:
Porn stars know things, too.;-)
Tiga, I love rednecks.
They’re SO grateful when I give them what they want.
If you’re young, built, and have a nice face, I will gladly fulfill your dream of a creamy load up your ass.
ReplyFunny, I thought Loren’s ban was a send-up of the exclusivity of Seesmic.
I’m beginning to think Lemeur, Winer (he’s an investor), and Loren cooked this whole thing up.;-)
Replycome on Loren! Give a break to Loic! He’s not a bad guy! Hopes US and France will get along!
Reply<Mik
And Im considered wild? Have you guys read any of this? You are all fucking nuts. I love it all, I love that this site is a haven for us. The supersmart witty fithy insane kids.
Replyah shit loren, that’s almost like a concluding statement to fine thread… i still got cheese man
ReplyYou do not represent America. You are a redneck with a webcam, mistaking vulgarity for witts, and who trolls just to get attention, and to sell ads. The very first line on your site is an invitation for advertisers to contact you. Can’t get any clearer than that.
Today, you decide to “ban the French”, then you quickly go tell about it on youtube, where the French can see it; then you lift the ban even faster than loïc backs down, in order to avoid missing the flow of visitors from France, that will increase your site ranking and allow you to prostitute your site for a little more money.
ReplyTiga - see it never ends, talk to Johnson for me would ya please, straighten this tool out, I’m preparing for tomorrow.
ReplyI’m a screwdriver.
ReplyMore like a nut Johnson, a nut obsessed with me.
ReplyJohnson
dont you understand that its just a hustle till you swallow?
Replywell BIG Johnson here is a real ANALyst isn’t he?
I’m going need some time and thought, since I am overwhelmed with his obvious intellectual superiority.
Why do STIFFS like Johnson come here for abuse, was it something their mommas failed to do?
ReplyVince Williams, you are quite right.
“Le Monde” titled We are all Americans after 9/11.
French are quite gratefull for the WWII liberation and the Marshall plan who helped a lot.
Have you visited the huge cemetery in Normandie w/ so much young Americans died, at least for something good.
Please stop the non-sense on this comment-blog-thing. Tiga beck, your grandfather line of duty doesn’t make you a smart ass obviously.
We [froggies and yankees] are much closer that you think, at least in term of ego or pride … LoL
ReplyWhy don’t you ban Africa as well? Won’t do much harm, since we don’t have the web. We just work it.
ReplyAre you saying that mothers should abuse their children ? Odd.
btw CAPITALIZATION is POOR rhetorics.
ReplyIf the Maginot line fell to you, does this make you Hitler?
Damn, the irony.
Replydang… I thought I tossed a slow ball for old Johnson there. Guess I need to bring it down another notch or two.
For Jo… lets just say it’s good you think we’re brethren in terms or ego and pride, but the major difference still remains…
You care more about what we think of you, then what you think of us.
Minus of course, a small minority of whack job east and west coast liberals who unfortunately run old world media and many of our educational institutions.
My pappy often called them “educated idiots”
Stalin supposedly referred to them as “useful idiots”
I think you know what pack I run with.
ReplyWhatever, I’ll leave now. I don’t know if you’re for real or not, but I’ve always found trolls to be just as bad as the real thing.
I guess everybody saw red in this affair, even me
ReplyAll I can say Loren is wait ’til you turn up at Charles De Gaulle airport and are dutifully lining up while us Brits/French etc are mauling our way forward - it’ll be a case of ‘You’re in our country now pal - we don’t do lines.’
Or at least that’s what I told the last fat Texan I saw lining up for immigration who had the brass neck to say - in English of all things: “Hey buddy, there’s line here.’
ReplyLoren: this is my investment you’re fucking with. If you were a woman I would beat you up hard!
Replyhey Feldman did the Frenchman touch a cord… you sound like a very sour sour jewish princess.
ReplyUsually when peoples talk like that about other business starting up is because they realise someone had a better idea and they are allready global… can you remodel your 1950 bathroom we are in 2000 just in case you did not notice, by the way was that a transvety in the bath with you.
Loic folded just like his country did 60ish years ago. It’s one thing to take some humble pie, it’s another to fold altogether as he did. I’d call him a clon but don’t want to insult any of them.
I guess if I was stupid enough to invest in Seeman….oops Seesmic to begin with - I would still be stupid enough not to realize that if he folds this easy - my money is all but down the toilet.
Makes me wonder, does the word toilet have a french origin? Guess that would sum up his startup in one word.
Here’s a thought…..if the world today is growing tired of interruption advertising…..and the site is all about video conversations…….good luck trying to monetize it without the community falling apart once you try to interrupt the conversations with messages from your sponsors.
Replymissed the “w” in clown. hope no clowns are insulted…..
ReplyHey Man !
Stop smoking and your drogue ! You need to go check your mental by a doctor ! You need to go to the jail ! Not only for the national security but for yourself too ! You need some help from professionals !
VADE RETRO SATANAS 666
The video community dislike you, so go to hell !
ReplyLoren ! j’adore quand tu parles français ! si un jour tu fais une autre video ! Please
Parle en francais. j’adore ton accent …
j’adore ton blog et j’adore tes videos
Loren ! tu es un mec super cool
Bye
