Let me get this straight: Arrington violates the law by using his cell while driving. Guy crossing the street calls him out on it... and instead of putting away his phone he tries to back up and get a round him.

Then he publicly calls the guy smug, and claims moral superiority because the guy's CEO did the same thing.

Yeeeeep, just another day in Arrington's la-la-land.

Geez, what a smug jerk that guy was. Next thing you know, they'll be telling people they shouldn't drive after having a "few" drinks.

Really, what is the world coming to when people start objecting to our God-given right to recklessly endanger the safety of people around us?

Arrington is indeed ..hmm.. how to put this nicely... I have no idea. I'm totally with this guy. For example when cars run a red light with people crossing the street and then they don't understand why you block their way. Such selfless egocentric people!

Flagged. Has nothing to do with hacker news. Celebrity love over everything TC and Arrington related (and manufactured drama) is annoying. Stop submitting shit like this. pls.

For stuff like this and mildly amusing random stuff you can go to reddit/digg.

The Googler has the better version of this story. He gets to end his with "...and the next day I found out that jerk was Michael Arrington."

Not hacker news.
