Stupid Kong

I highly recommend The King Of Kong: A Fistful Of Dollars, but I must take exception to Slate's characterization of Steve Wiebe as a "lovable loser." Maybe he's obsessed with a videogame--so what? everyone should have a hobby--but anyone who's got a nice house, a decent job and a loving family shouldn't be called a loser. I thought he came across pretty well. (Of course, I now hear the filmmakers manipulated the facts to make Wiebe the hero and Billy Mitchell the villain.)
