More hotties and Ron Paul. Less Obama. More illegal substances at happy hours, or at least people who can't legally consume the substances that are presented.
|2.20.08 @ 3:26PM|#
oooooooo, a polllllllllllll.
Don't worry, Reason. I put those on my e-vites too and nobody
responds to them seriously either.
Fluffy|2.20.08 @ 3:29PM|#
Everyone please answer question 30, "What do you like least about Reason Online?" with the response, "DONDEROOOOOOOO!"
FrBunny|2.20.08 @ 3:38PM|#
Fluffy:
I answered "joe", but only because he's always more informed than
me. I HATE that, especially when I really believe what I'm
saying.

How ironic coming from reason.
|2.20.08 @ 3:47PM|#
OMG! I'm a...
Reason junkie!!
Why didn't any of you people tell me...
Oh right.
x,y
I use Firefox, so I don't even know when the pillow girl is around.
But IIRC she's ugly skinny.
Of course more Lobster Girl! Who doesn't want more lobster
girl?
Ahhhhh another comment fix
|2.20.08 @ 3:51PM|#
No love for Rational Responders Cop Girl. As it should be.
I'm wondering if the "Ron Paul = GOD" crowd is going to spam this
poll...
Brandybuck|2.20.08 @ 3:54PM|#
I was going to say more snorg tee girls, but Bingo beat me to it. Oh well. MORE SNORG TEE GIRLS!
Bingo|2.20.08 @ 3:55PM|#
also for you statistic junkies: http://www.quantcast.com/reason.com
less females than average on the internet :(
|2.20.08 @ 3:58PM|#
Bingo -
On the contrary - I didn't realize there were that many females
here (unless the overall internet average number for females is
supremely low in comparison to males already)
|2.20.08 @ 3:59PM|#
I took the damned survey. I mentioned everyone of you in the things I don't like section. Except you joe. I mentioned you twice. ;-)
|2.20.08 @ 4:04PM|#
Holy crap I am now in the 36-45 age group!!!
Soon I will have gray hair and can rule you all!!
|2.20.08 @ 4:06PM|#
Let me write Warren's:
1. More pillow girl.
2. More lobster girl.
I could have put more lobster girl?!?!
Crap!
|2.20.08 @ 4:11PM|#
Actually, I don't subscribe to the print version anymore, but I get the online version from NewsStand (well, that wasn't an option in the poll). Good shit and screw the USPS. :)
|2.20.08 @ 4:13PM|#
I felt embarrassed to admit one of my favorite magazines is
Entertainment Weekly.
I put "trolls" on 30 before the "DONDEROOOOOO" idea got out.
[waiting for the paranoids freaking out about the financials]
Bingo|2.20.08 @ 4:14PM|#
Reinmoose, it actually looks like reason reflects the
demographics of the internet a lot better than some sites.
Plug in pajamasmedia.com or nationalreview.com and see the grumpy
old men tell you to get off their lawn hahaha.

Hmmm, I'm not sure I trust all those stats. Our single biggest
ethnic group is ... African-Americans? Not Caucasians? I know there
are African-American libertarians, but I was under the
distinct impression that most most of our visitors were
pasty mushroom-colored basement dwellers.
PC|2.20.08 @ 4:17PM|#
Have Radley hold journalism classes for all the other Reason writers to attend.
|2.20.08 @ 4:19PM|#
Re: Quantcast
Are the Ethnicity numbers right? I mean, if they are right..
awesome! But Hit n' Run, at least, has always seemed mighty whitey.
Especially based on the meet-up pics I seen.
[Disclosure: I'm so white, I'm pink]
Bingo|2.20.08 @ 4:19PM|#
Stevo: that's percentages of vistors relative to their representation on the internet in general.
Andrew First|2.20.08 @ 4:24PM|#
Here';s what I don't like about reason:
Just as I was clicking the link to take the survey, a Dell ad
link/ad popped up in its place. So instead of getting the survey I
got a big Dell ad. Please knock this shit off.

I mentioned pop-up ads as well. That's like complaing to the
networks about commercials. IOW, it will be ignored.
Taktix®|2.20.08 @ 4:38PM|#
Uhh, if some of us weren't using shitty browsers, maybe some of
us would not see pop-up.
Just sayin'
GILMORE|2.20.08 @ 4:38PM|#
Anyone notice Reason online indexes around 130 for African
American online readership?
In statistical terms, that probably means absolutely nothing (i
dont know what the current penetration rate of internet access or
behaviors of black Americans online are like)
But my guess = LoneWacko hates mexicans because they kicked his ass
all the time while he grew up a poor, black child in south central
LA.
It starts to make *a little* sense.
Ok, maybe not.
reminds me of that especially funny moment in Red VS Blue episode

I don't see any pop-ups on Reason. What are you people talking about? All I see is the new ad bar at the top, but that's not so bad.
Bingo|2.20.08 @ 4:44PM|#
To increase ad clickthrough all they need to do is replace every advertisement on Radley Balko's articles with a generic "Punch the cop/lawyer/judge and win a caboose!"-image. We'd probably kill the advertising server.

I'm on a secured network in the executive suite of a milti-billion,
Fortune 100 company. And yet, sometimes they just pop up.
Are you saying your browser eliminates all pop-up ads???
|2.20.08 @ 4:52PM|#
Please, this survey is, I don't know, about 5,000 questions TOO
LONG!
Here's what you need to do to improve Reason: Get rid of Michael
Young.
|2.20.08 @ 4:53PM|#
Andrew First -
I've never gotten them either at work or at home/my sister's
home(different computer), and I use 2 different browsers.
Ali|2.20.08 @ 4:53PM|#
Taktix @ 3:43-
I meant regarding privacy. I was not complaining. All the
complaining went into the survey.

"How many people on here actually subscribe to Vanity
Fair?"
The magazine or the lifestyle?
picaro|2.20.08 @ 4:57PM|#
Praise:
1. Dave Weigel's humor.
2. Radley Balko's reporting.
3. Jesse Walker's insight.
Complaints:
1. Too beholden to politically correct influences.
2. Neocon shills for the war (like Michael Young) on this site.
Ali|2.20.08 @ 4:58PM|#

I don't know how many people here subscribe to vanity fair.

Best thing about Reason?
Booger dicks! I get to say booger dicks to random strangers!
Worst thing about Reason?
Its coverage of the porn industry -- and tips for better orgasms --
is spotty at best.
|2.20.08 @ 5:03PM|#
Hey joe.
Booger dicks to you.
But seriously, folks ... Radley Balko is my hero. Kerry Howley is
smokin'.
Keeps me comin' back for more. Every day.
|2.20.08 @ 5:03PM|#
I was referring to the link Bingo posted, which gave a high correlation to Reason visitors and subscribers of Vanity Fair (the magazine)

Wow.
Thats like, a parable or something.
Much like how the NYT is always 5 years behind basic cultural
stuff, ("kids are doing something called 'downloading' which is
increasingly popular"), big companies almost always are totally
IT-retarded.
dude, try firefox maybe. Most people havent had to deal with
fucking pop-ups since like 2001.

All that means dude is that characteristics of VF readers are most
closely aligned to Reason readers. doesnt mean anything to anyone
except direct-marketers who want to buy Banner ads or
something.
I'd guess from the questionnaire options, that the most often-read
magazines by Reason-readers would be either the Economist or the
Atlantic.
|2.20.08 @ 5:06PM|#
my IT department at my company has effectively killed all popups and I use IE. I think they have magical powers.
|2.20.08 @ 5:07PM|#
Gilmore,
That's why I was asking, because I don't think theres much overlap
between VF and Reason.
Ali|2.20.08 @ 5:10PM|#
LIT, and I was being silly. I wasn't sure if you really did expect to get an answer to that question. FWIW, I am not a subscriber in Vanity Fair.
Brandybuck|2.20.08 @ 5:13PM|#
What's a popup? Am I missing out on something?
Oh, and speaking of paleeeos, I notice the Loo Rockwell has gotten
into the conspiracy act. Several Kennedy assassination posts by him
at LRC in the last couple of days. Screw Palmer's obsession with
the neo-confederates, LRC conspiratoids are the real fever
swamp!
|2.20.08 @ 5:22PM|#
*Dons curmudgeon hat*
I have no sympathy-none-for folks who use IE and wonder why they
get pop-ups, various sorts of malware, and the other crap endemic
to that abortion of a browser.
*kicks pebble, looks lovingly at small stuffed penguin perched next
to computer*
|2.20.08 @ 5:24PM|#
Well, I haven't seen the lobster girl, or the pillow girl, so I
could complain about that.
Also, I was going to put Dondero as a complaint, but then I
realized that I am entertained by him and more so by the put downs
of him.
After Ron Paul did so poorly the only pleasure I have gotten from
this election cycle has been seeing the people that Dondero
supported crash and burn.
Also 'joe' is solid gold. If there weren't a 'joe', then reason
would have to hire one. He makes the liberal arguments better than
anyone I know. If you can successfully refute his points you are
equipped to represent your cause in an argument.
Also from counters to Joe, I learn a lot. I am a better more
understanding libertarian for reading retorts to joe.
|2.20.08 @ 5:28PM|#
""Worst thing about Reason?

Damn, I should have mentioned that. They have been slacking in that
regard lately. But it does tie into my main complaint 'lack of
pictures in the articles'.
|2.20.08 @ 6:16PM|#
Firefox w/ the AdBlock Plus plugin.
You will never be bothered again (and website owners will hate
you).

Yeah, you gotta love Joe. He's totally necessary. I like Joe the most on the days when I tell him to go fuck himself.
|2.20.08 @ 6:20PM|#
Reading this thread made me realize I didn't mention the high
quality sense of humor possessed by H&R commenters. I really do
mean that compliment. I lurk and occasionally post at other sites
and none that I've found approach the comedy level displayed daily
at this one.
But then, I'm not quite right...
|2.20.08 @ 6:20PM|#
Not to defend MicroDick, but if you turn your pop-up blocker up to high in IE, you won't see any; even the medium setting blocks most of them.
|2.20.08 @ 6:45PM|#
the high quality sense of humor possessed by H&R
commenters.
I'll second that.
I got bored about six questions into the survey and bailed out.
|2.20.08 @ 7:43PM|#

Mostly I come to see if Stevo won another thread. He's up to aleast
a "Commando" level comedy kills at H&R.
|2.21.08 @ 9:55AM|#
I took the survey, and yes I did take it seriously. I don't know
why, but being a Reson magazine subscriber for the past 10 years,
as well as reading this site I figured why not.
My four biggest complaints about the website were...The friggin
pop-up ad's. When did they start?? The second complaint was the
treatment of other Libertarians. i.e Lew Rockwell,Justin Raimondo
and such. The third, the Ugly Anti-Catholic comments that seem to
come in every other post. I don't need to remind the "Reason" staff
that alot of Libertarian ideas, like Natural Law and Private
Property rights are taking from Saint Thomas Aquinas. And last but
not least, my biggest complaint of them all is "Hit and Run" in the
last few years has turned into some defacto Daily Kos, Mother
Jones, and D.U site, all in one. The last time I checked, this is a
LIBERTARIAN website. Not some state loving, rule following, We Love
Obama website. And yes it has gotten worse since Matt Welch took
over. Sorry Matt, I do enjoy your writing, but there is a bit of a
Leftist bent to it.
Other than that, I love Reason. As long as our Man in Black , and
Brian Doherty are here, as well as Kerry's bitching about what body
part someone told her she couldn't sell or how poor migrant workers
not being allowed into some country I have never heard of or no use
for, I'm still going to be coming here, and reading the magazine.
Thanks for hearing me out.

I reiterate my comment on the poll: Is there any way we can elect none of these guys? Even Ron Paul. Try no president for four years.
|2.26.08 @ 10:25AM|#
I didn't like the political party question. Although I'm a
registered Republican, it makes me nauseous to say I "identify"
with the party.
Semantics.
