But Tod knows the meaning of the word "condescending", and how to put it into practice ...

I've never met Joe Clark, or even communicated with him, but his presence on the web has certainly had an impact on me.
Joe's all-too-rare contributions are a lifeboat in a sea of juvenile delinquents and nitwits.

Here, Tod misses completely Joe's generous offer of help, and naturally sees only an affront to his technical wizardry, which must be defended vigorously.
And taking a swipe right back at Joe while doing so, is only fair play.

It's a good example of Tod following his own paternalistic advice to "play nice'.

Tod's Representative On Earth

The great LAVIN AGENCY seems to have the CBC celebs market pretty well sewn up.
Speakers-wise.

Here's is Tod's self-selling job as posted August 29, 2007 ...





But it seems a little out of date ...





The Future File idea didn't seem to have a very long shelf-life.

But it hardly matters if people reading this are too lazy to check that out for themselves.

And The Lavin Agency is probably too busy with Shaun Majumder to correct and update neglected Tod's page.

TOD MAFFIN: "you are not a well-respected ..."

I really loved the droll humour of this person's web logo and title. First rate fun!

But we're here to talk about Tod Maffin.



As we look for the internet artifacts that reveal the man, the petty, self-important man and his brainiac thoughts and allusions to being a FUTURIST - or as Neil Gorman would say, a FUCKING FUTURIST - we find many examples of the ego-trip that is Tod Maffin.




In this clip, Tod is already barking in his snide arrogant manner at something or other ...




I especially enjoyed "to present them with a personalized view of the world.".
I think it's called looking at your iPod playlist.
Mind you, this quote is from 2005. Tod was way ahead of his time.
iPods were in full bloom that year, and so was the jargon surrounding it.


These words, as is often the case when Tod Maffin presents his vision of the world, appear to come from a mind that views tomorrow's society as visualized in the movie Brazil.

Very unpleasant and heartless.

Tod Maffin would fit right in.
