Check out this guy on YouTube. He calls himself "elchinen," and he hates Pittsburgh. In fact, he hates Pittsburgh so much that he's uploaded a series of computerized cartoon shorts in which one character plays the role of his gross caricature of a Pittsburgher, and the other character cusses out the "inbred yinzer trash." (Yeah, he went there with the breeding habits. How original.)

I bring all this up because one of elchinen's cute little videos actually singles out and ridicules Drover:
Moderator cut: video removed, we don't need to give this guy more publicity

The Chicago board thinks that elchinen is pathetic too.

Isn't it ironic how the same people who proclaim the ignorance of Pittsburghers are pretty goddamn ignorant themselves, and are incapable of making a good first impression anywhere they go, let alone Pittsburgh? They also seem to imply that Pittsburghers lack social skills, yet one of their ilk just uploaded a bunch of petty, hateful videos on YouTube. So who really lacks the social skills here?

I've actually had run-ins with elchinen on YouTube before, and he's easily the nastiest little ***** that I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with there, and that's saying something. He's so ****ty that he needs to be autoclaved.

This surfaced a couple of weeks ago. I was very confused... I was like, "woah, I didn't know Drover was famous enough to be ridiculed."

Neither did I.

It's yet another example of a Pittsburgh-hating ******* hard at work, but apparently this one has begun spreading propaganda, which puts him on another level. The general message in his propaganda is that Pittsburghers are an inferior, contemptible breed of people, which is scarily similar to the views of the KKK regarding black people.

The next step after propaganda is applied hatred. This is when a person really becomes dangerous, and begins to take matters into his own hands. If you hear about anybody in the next few years being murdered for wearing a Steelers shirt, then you know exactly who did it, and you heard it here first.

Funny, too, that in one of his stupid videos he trashes Central Catholic, which is where my brother graduated from high school, and where I went for a year. That guy must really have a lot of friends -- so many, in fact, that he has a lot of time to put together all his horse**** videos.

Oh wow ..
Just remember to stay cool. No need to get upset over this lame attempt at "humor".

Person on internet has opinion.

Person on internet has opinion you disagree with.

Solution: Ignore, possibly mock

There are a lot of strange people on the Internet. In particular, it gives people an outlet to behave in ways they couldn't get away with in real life.

Brilliant! He forgot to add what a "car expert" Drover is.

It is just some humor. Not sure what all the fuss is about, but I only watched a couple of clips. It wasn't keeping my attention. If there is a real offensive one let me know which one and I will watch it, but it just seemed like some off humor. No big deal. This publicity will no doubt help the ratings greatly. Bad publicity is better than good it seems.

This is the same Jimmy Franks from [domain blocked due to spam] who makes mention on this very forum:

Pittsburgh REALLY SUCKS - [domain blocked due to spam]

Also, if people care enough he openly admits that he's a troll. Since many Pittsburghers get so worked up over their territory, they take the troll bait over and over.
