I speculated yesterday that Gizmodo would face repercussions for its stupid prank at CES where it went around surreptitiously turning off televisions during presentations.
Little did I know, the punishment was already being doled out.
The Consumer Electronics Association sent this statement to Cnet about Gizmodo’s antics:
We have been informed of inappropriate behavior on the show floor by a credentialed media attendee from the Web site Gizmodo, owned by Gawker Media. Specifically, the Gizmodo staffer interfered with the exhibitor booth operations of numerous companies, including disrupting at least one press event. The Gizmodo staffer violated the terms of CES media credentials and caused harm to CES exhibitors. This Gizmodo staffer has been identified and will be barred from attending any future CES events. Additional sanctions against Gizmodo and Gawker Media are under discussion.
You misbehave like a child and you get spanked like a child.
