He's mentioned Coleslaw in his writing before, and he always introduces him as "the film critic," as if his readers are going to go, "Oh yeah, that Cole Smithey, the film critic!" It's precious.

I always find it just a tad ironic, he's the only one to escape the horde an live a normal life but he still lives in Chris's shadow

Fuck Cole Smithey.
If Chris were tied to a railroad track with a train coming at him, and I had a switch I could pull that would divert the train onto another track with Cole Smithey tied to it, and pulling it would mean the train would run over Cole Smithey instead of Chris, I'd pull that fucking thing all day long.
If it had his best buddy Ted Rall tied to it, too, it would be twice the fun.
Fuck Cole Smithey.
Yeah, I said that already, but I'll say it again.

What if ADF and Barb were tied to the same track as Chris is?

I really don't understand why people hate Cole Smithey so much. What? Because he sucks at reviewing films? It's not like he's swindled the hearts and minds of millions with his shit. Jesus, no one even follows him except because of his lolcow brother! Who cares if he said stupid things about toy story 3?

I think a lot of people have some weird expectation of Cole of being some higher, shining example of what Chris should be. They seem to forget that Chris and Cole had the same severely dysfunctional (possibly with BPD) mother. The audience assumes that because Cole isn't Chris, he therefore should be an exact reflection of the audience. And when Cole says and does things that the audience doesn't agree with, they go FULL GORILLA.

Because I'm a giant asshole. And despite being neurotypical, Cole is even more gigantic a dick than Chris is, less successful at being an attention whore, and is also best friends with another giant piece of shit, Ted Rall, the lolcow cartoonist.
Also I'm just a giant idiot. So my opinions should be ignored.

I didn't mean to direct it just at you, I see a lot of folk shit all over Cole and I just never get why is all. I look at him and Chris more like a classic Shakespearean tragedy - each lives the life the other wants, and neither will ever realize it.

What about Cole Smithy with 5 innocent people and Chris with 5 convicted murderers? READY? GO!
That train would be like "fuck no i aint getting that Philth on me" and derail itself

Powerleveling a bit here. I've not followed Ted Rall's career at all but did read an issue of The Comics Journal about a decade ago where he is interviewed at length. In a nutshell he was a journalist who wanted to investigate post Soviet occupation Afghanistan. He arranged to travel there on his own, a very dangerous part of the world hostile to outsiders, much less western journalists.
So basically Ted Rall likely has a bigger set of balls than anyone reading this.
Edit: Decided to Wiki after I posted this, and his visits to Afghanistan were after 9/11, shortly before the Coalition bombing... that's what I get for trying to recall something i've not read in forever.

Nobody here vandalized a GameStop either, but that doesn't mean CWC has a bigger set of balls than anyone reading this.

Not on his own. Believe it or not, Cole was apparently along on that trip. One of them once posted some reminiscences online about their shared terrifying bus trips through Afghanistan.

Okay, so Cole's BFF is Rall, a syndicated cartoonist. Does Chris know this? Why doesn't Coleslaw throw his bro a bone and ask Rall to connect Chris with some industry people for Sonichu?
Rall thinks the closest they came to death was when Cole started tard raging at some Taliban. I'm not joking.

I think there's an element of the broken pedestal. A few years ago, I seem to recall he was thought of reasonably positively because he appeared to be the anti-Chris, a guy who'd had an upbringing as bad as Chris and yet had managed to make a success of himself. Then more info appeared and people realised that actually he wasn't so great after all - sponging off his wife, paying for YouTube views, not really being a great writer and being kind of a hipster douche.
I think there's also some envy involved. I know that sounds like a soccer mom explanation for Internet hate, but he has a life that a lot of people would find enviable without really having worked for it. He gets to live the bohemian artsy lifestyle not because he's good at what he does, but because his wife foots the bill. Hell, I'd love a life like that.
There are probably hundreds of workshy pretentious wankers in New York alone. Most of them are equally or more worthy of hatred, but most of them don't have one of the most documented people in the world in their immediate family.

The thing about his status as Chris's sibling is that it makes comparisons between the two pretty much inevitable. And all I can say is if I had a choice between spending a day with Chris or Cole, I'd pick Chris hands-down. Cole is basically an interchangeable hipster douchebag with absolutely nothing unique about him other than his autistic hatred of Toy Story 3.
Chris is unique.
