Greg, I see where you're coming from with the Drew Marshall thing. All I'll say is that I bet he'd be the first one to agree with you. One of the first things he talked about in the video is how he recognized how easy it is to poke holes in things and sit back and criticize, rather than see how he could be an "agent of change".
I have to say, to me, the most surprising thing in your entire post was
won't be waiting for the iPhone, because all I want is a phone.
Wow, this is an older and wiser Greg! ;)

See—you’re making my point. The guy acted like an immature turd. And his turdness only served to undermine his perspective. Yet, he would be the first to agree that he acts like an immature turd, thereby undermining his own perspective.
So why waste my time? I’m unimpressed, and I want those 20 minutes back.
He’s simply a self-proclaimed rebel for Jesus shock-jock. He may push the boundaries of evangelicalism by saying the word “poop” on air. *giggles* Wow. That really got me to think outside the box.
The video wasn't meant to "impress". I guess there's still a part of me that enjoys seeing stuffy, prim-and-proper Christians removed from their comfort zone, especially when the content--i.e., that there are a lot of Christians that don't feel the "Victory In Jesus" that they're supposed to, and really struggle with basic stuff--is valid.
I don't think you've heard/seen enough to say that he's "simply" anything. If you check out the descriptions of some past shows (I wish I actually had time to listen to them), he seems to be talking about stuff that you don't hear on most Christian radio. And his guests range from those you'd see on 100 Huntley Street--Candace Cameron Bure, Bruce Wilkinson, Tim LaHaye, etc.--to... well, the High Priest of the Wiccan Church of Canada.
Again, I'm not saying the guy's a genius or anything, it's just nice to know that not all Christian talk radio is predictable, mind-numbing crap (as has been my experience).
