The Calacanis Effect

Jason Calacanis is interviewed by John Furrier on video. Jason is a SVP at AOL. If you’ve never met Jason before you know that what he says will be controversial. I’d recommend downloading the video and playing off your hard drive.

  1. “If you’ve never met Jason before” - you mean “If you’ve EVER met Jason before” don’t you?

    If you’ve never met him, how would you know to expect something controversial?

    Next you’ll be saying how you “could care less” about me correcting you…

  2. kent: if you’ve never met him, you probably don’t know that he loves saying bombastic things. If you met him before, you already know that.

  3. Yes, that makes sense, but that’s not what is in your post.

    Sorry, you’re just bearing the brunt of my annoyance at people getting never/ever and could/couldn’t wrong in common colloquialisms.

    It’s a hard job. Some other miss-speller just may get to be Commander and Chef ; ) Sum day.

    Keep up the good work. The two step joke is the best type. Those are the ones it takes you two steps before you get the joke. It’s at that time you stop in your tracks and laugh. The funniest part is when you stop; no one else knows why you are laughing.

  5. Maybe:

    “If you’ve never met Jason before you SHOULD know that what he says will be controversial.”

  6. Well, if we’re going to get all perdantic, ‘before’ could be considered redundant — because whether or not you’ve met him, it would have to be ‘before’ (as in, before now).

    Anyway, it could also be written as “Anyone who’s ever met Jason will know that what he says will be controversial. And if you’ve never met him, well, here’s your chance — tonight on The Scoble Show. And now — heeeere’s Scoble!”
