Why this petition matters

Started by Kit Robinson

Giant Bomb is a website, about video games! At least, it started that way. Giant Bomb is currently owned by CBS Interactive, but was originally started by a company called Whiskey Media. Even though it is a website largely focused on video games, it is the discussion and features about video games created by the unique personalities that got people coming back to it year after year. 

In recent years, the people who run Giant Bomb don't seem to understand that when you have unbearable personalities on your personality driven website, it defeats the purpose and causes your audience to leave. Giant bomb currently has a problem where multiple personalities currently employed on the website have started leading to it's downfall, whether it's because they don't do their jobs properly, or push their political agenda when they should be entertaining their audience. The biggest problem with the website right now is Ben Pack. His removal could at least start paving the way for a better website.

While there are other personalities guilty of their own missteps, for the most part everyone else can perform their job in an adequate fashion when they have to. Even though we have some who can be lax in their responsibilities, or insult their audience without considering the consequences, Ben Pack does these things in addition to being terrible at his job. His lack of any speech training, and inability to sound professional and pleasant on the ears is an insult to anyone who tries to watch their content. Even when he thinks he is speaking clearly, he will sound like he has marbles in his mouth. In addition to his lack of any vocal elegance, his lack of any consideration for how he presents himself on camera is disgusting. I did not realize dressing like a homeless person was considered proper dress code in the CBSi offices. While I am fine with dressing casually, there is a difference between casual, and the hobo attire Ben Pack demonstrates on camera. 

Ben Pack's presence on an Giant Bomb content is an assault on the senses, and makes anyone watching immediately want to stop watching. He is not the only problem with the website currently, but is the one I believe should be addressed first. If this was Jeff Gerstmann's personal site, he could do what he wants, but he keeps Ben Pack employed because he feels sorry for him, but the viewers are what bring in revenue. We deserve to be heard, and members should not be banned because they dare to criticize a poor choice like having Ben Pack on this website. 

As a solution so that he doesn't become a real homeless bum that he enjoys cosplaying as so much, give Ben Pack a job he is much more qualified for. Something like the mail room, or working security in the office. He does not have the professionalism, nor the charisma to be an entertaining personality for giantbomb.com.
