Video: Joe the Plumber explains the upcoming digital TV transition (for some reason)
  • 9 Comments
by Nicholas Deleon on November 25, 2008

Hey, America, remember Joe the Plumber? He was the unlicensed handyman who John McCain foisted upon us as some sort of tax expert (even though he had back taxes). Well that didn’t exactly work out for him, so the man has a new gig that’s relevant to us here: he’s explaining the digital TV transition to America for some Web site. I mean, yeah, Matt already did that, in some detail, not too long ago, and we’ve been referencing the transition for a while, too, but, somehow, when Joe the Explainer tells us what’s going on, well, then it all makes more sense.

Yes, I will be posting these videos as they go up. It will be fun for all of us.

  • I’m done with this site. Not even Biggs’ and Aamoth’s good posts are worth the crap that you throw on here.

  • What can I say, I can’t get enough of Joe!

  • Joe was the man who dared question your messiah. How dare he want to start a business! How dare he struggle to pay his taxes and then question a presidential candidate who wants to raise his taxes!

    Get off your computer, Nicholas, and try starting a business here in the USA. See how much you like it when Chairman O robs your bank account and gives your money to lazy people.

  • Joe the Plumber asked a question of a Presidential candidate. For daring to do that, not being critical, just asking a question, he had his background illegally reviewed and revealed by a government employee. Note: she is a Barrack supporter who donated the maximum allowed to his campaign.

    I think hard question being asked should be rewarded not punished.

  • Dillhole can barely read a cue card, my cat has more personality than this dweeb. Oh and Anony, I did start a business in USA, it was easy, if you have half a brain.

  • Hey, Joe proves he can actually read, which was something that until now was rightly questioned.

    But other than that, why is this guy hocking something that he clearly isn’t qualified to do???

  • I own my own business AND pay my taxes. What is the infatuation with this moron?

    Sukabi, not only is he not qualified to do this, he’s not qualified to be a plumber since he never bothered to get a license.

    Bad choice, Velocity Store.

  • Wha’s with the guys from velocitystore? Here’s the welcome at their “contact us” page:
    “Any message not relevant to the DTV conversion or our products will be discarded so we can focus on those in need of assistance. IP addresses and host information is logged with your feedback.”
    Guessing they’re getting some business “advice” they didn’t expect…
