Dawn of the Geeks

palmwalk.com was created by Thomas McCarthy an ASU finance and marketing senior as a means to put on display for public scrutiny, unsuspecting women who attend Arizona State University.

“From a utilitarian[sic] perspective, I believe palmwalk.com is morally just.” - Thomas McCarthy as quoted by the Arizona State Press.

“Palmwalk.com was created to show the world that Tempe Ariz., is the ‘hottest place on earth’” - Thomas McCarthy as quoted by the Arizona State Press.

Utilitarianism: The ethical theory proposed by Jeremy Bentham and James Mill that all action should be directed toward achieving the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people.

So what this slimeball is saying is that it’s okay to put women in the public eye to be judged without their permission as long as doing so makes more people happy. Specifically he thinks his morally reprehensible web-site is okay because it benefits ASU some how. He’s got quite the ego there.

It turns out that the reason the site was down was because he ran out of bandwidth. He promises that it’ll be back up. Well Mr. McCarthy, this site isn’t going anywhere either. I’m going hunt down all the information I can about this guy and keep this site up to date on all the happenings of palmwalk.com

It’s interesting that this story breaks as I write an essay for an english class on a story about a guy who thinks he’s done something amazing to impress some beautiful girls and finds out the hard way he’s nobody and did nothing that would impress anybody. McCarthy thinks he’s doing something wonderful but he’s one of the few who are this horribly misguided.

Playboy just recently put out an issue with some ASU girls who volunteered to get naked for the camera. Apparently McCarthy feels that if he were to ask, nobody would pose for him even with their clothes on.
