There is a problem mixing alcohol and a highly viewed video podcast that is watched by a lot of younger men — especially when you make a stupid comment about punching a women with a ring-encrusted fist to show her some love. Seriously. I kid you not.

Alex Albrecht made this comment on Diggnation this week.

I’m happily going along, listening to the podcast as the guys (Albrecht and Kevin Rose) talk about a marriage proposal that had made the top diggs, when they start discussing how they would top this particular proposal. That’s when he says it. The video is right here. Check it out. I made it short (37 seconds) so all of you could watch it.

What makes me really angry (besides the fact that no “girls” watch their show) is that they giggled about it afterward. And not only that, but a lot of young men follow them. Oh, sure, you might want to say I’m overreacting, that he was just horsing around. But it is exactly this kind of attitude that gets us into trouble. The man actually advocated punching someone to show love.I’m not laughing. Neither of them should be, either.
