Though the Internets Celebrities’ VH1 Hip Hop Honors Episode may have gotten them banned from this and other events, we may never really know, since hip hop biz is mad covert!

But the Gizmodo crew at CES were seriously messing with people’s money by shutting down their flat screen displays at a major, expensive to attend event.

As a result, a permanent ban on CES attendance has been placed on one Gizmodo staffer and there may be "additional sanctions against Gizmodo and Gawker Media" according to an official statement from CES organizers.

On the Flip Side:
It must have been a really fun prank.  Certainly the IC guys had fun.   So I guess it’s a matter of what kind of access you want going forward.  I’m focusing more on bridge building and how to maintain a sharp critique while still being a useful community resource at the moment, which is a lot of darn work, but I definitely understand the pull to shake things up at these events.
