Hey, Thie, I like Ocbro’s hair…although I’ve never seen it, I’m sure it’s stunning.
At least, better than that beautiful WEAVE you have on your head!
I actually bought into your “act”, mainly because, well, I thought you were that much of a “whiny bitch”. However, I didn’t quite see it so much as whining, as I did being rightfully pissed off about a project you put a lot of effort into.
Ben…have you been trying out lipstick, or are your lips naturally bright red?
I have to say, B, I’ve been thinking about this and it still doesn’t make much sense to me. If you’re trying to polarise your audience into intelligent and open-minded people, and ignorant flamer assholes, you’ve probably appealed to the wrong half with that ‘please explain’ video.
You’re under no obligation to explain yourself to me, naturally, but I’m unsure of what you’re doing with this.
Hopefully those people will unsub. Ive been watching you for almost as long as you have been on youtube, and have watched all your videos.
Looking forward to the tutorials, and still hoping you will do rants about stuff if not on youtube then vimeo. And i know the video a few days ago was a rant. lawl.
Maybe even he’s unsure, or, as he’s implied, the reaction was more of an accidental one, than what he was really hoping for. However, Thiefree, you have a point…a good point. It wasn’t exactly wise of Ben to post a video of himself yelling about You Tube’s incompetence, no matter how funny, and how disturbingly accurate it was. We have to realize, though, that Ben’s brain power falls very unevenly on both left and right sides. While he is analytical and logical, he’s also [extremely] creative, and seems to be interested in music, but, at times, can lack common sense.
I don’t think this one can be drawn down to a simple explanation, just that it was a slight mistake, it WAS entertaining, Ben enjoyed it, and now a few assholes will watch his videos, get bored of a lack of Ben-like anger, and move on, leaving only people who really care about his work, and the effort he puts into it.
Also, Thiefree, I think it’s pretty darn easy for us to forgive Ben. He’s not out there walking around in a mini skirt and lack of pantie, nor is he telling us to eat spaghetti, as it will make us thin, because the spaghetti itself, is thin.
Ben has shown us he is human, and apologizes for his slight fuck ups (also known as “humanity”), without the help of a spokesperson, a manager, a chihuahua, etc.
Ben does what he can to entertain us, does what makes him happy, and, not to sound sickeningly sappy, but he also shows us he cares.
Ben u friggen rock. Been a subscriber for a few years now. So I’ll support pretty much anything ya do.
I also like what you did with the whole videos on youtube and this site. In a way, youtube needs a little uniqueness and Haberdashery’s just what it needs. Haberdashery’s unique in it’s own way and it rocks! So to leave ur youtube channel with those videos and some classic vlogs and use ur website for most vlogs and videos of that sort. Which means I’ll be checking into this website more often.
So keep doin what ur doin Ben. Keep rockin those videos.
Since the “Please Explain” video; you got TheHill88 (Caitlin Hill) to comment & reply several times – Is there still some unresolved tension between you two?
*I’m actually ‘OzBro’, but I’m being a dick and playing with joiywj’s misspelling (& correction, mind you!)*
I’ve found myself forgiving Ben for everything. Even when he stood me up at Le Cordon Bleu, after I payed money for reservations, ordered food I was sure he’d like (when I thought he was just late), and even ordered a special glass of champagne with a wedding ring in it (I figured he could sell it for money rather than his bike).
Ben is intelligent, creative, interesting, funny, original, snarky, an asshole, but obviously also a caring person (he seems to get attached to women easily as well), he’s great at re taring my driveway, and even making straight men sound obnoxiously homosmexual, when all they’re trying to do is make you feel as wonderful, and as beautiful as you are. OH LOOK, A RAINBOW!
I must say that I have been an active subscriber for quite some time now. I have watched many of your videos more than once. I always thought you appealed to what I liked to view and I was happy.
The only thing I must say now about the last few videos is this: stop telling me (the viewer) that you are changing direction and getting rid of old videos, and defining yourself into a particular nitch. It seems that the last few “discussion” type videos were just you telling me what you will doing and if I don’t like it leave. Okay, I’m past that. Let’s go with Haberdashery and tutorials. Cool.
Maybe it’s just me, but it’s just a tad annoying to keep being fed the same idea over and over again. I will keep on watching your stuff because you are good, it’s just my little comment that you can take or leave really.
Ben, I know you’re not a whiney bitch :) and while I was rather surprised by how rude you sounded in your last video, I can appreciate the reasoning behind it. You’re right: if people aren’t watching anymore, why stay subscribed.
Your recent videos are great! I love Haberdashery, and the tutorials should be pretty amazing. Keep up the good work! I’m just glad we’re still gonna hear from you at all :D
WOO, dickness! Either people are there to see you grow as a person/artist or they’re there to see you fall. I look forward to what you have to come in the future.Both here and on youtube. Good luck to you.;p
I just wanted to send you my support. It is inspiring to know that you are cleansing yourself free of the youtube bullshit. I look forward to seeing your new work and style, I truly love it.

I’m enjoying this balance of writing and videos.. I’m liking where this website is going.
*Ozbro’s
And I like the balance of videos and writing as well. Your writing is fantastic, and you speak like you know the English language
Yes, Ben, you do indeed speak like you know the English language!
Be well.
Ben does indeed speak like he was raised with a dictionary, and not just with public schools, and the American version of English.
Ben has cultured himself =D

I never told you to eat spaghetti?

He’s still lovely, of course. He’s intelligent, creative, and interesting, so yes Chef – we can forgive him a lot!
I know…Paris Hilton did =D
