The problem is that the conference’s organizer, the Consumer Electronics Association, saw the video as well and immediately banned the Gizmodo rep from all future CES shows and is even considering further actions against Gizmodo and its parent company Gawker. At least Brian Lam has been involved in this incident as well because he states in a comment at Valleywag that he gave the order to do it but to not disturb press conferences.

My personal opinion is that this was a bad joke. I would not think that it’s much of a problem to turn some televisions off during the show but the disturbance at the press conference was on a different level. What’s your stance on the matter ?
