punditocracy 

The universe of the mainstream media (pundits) talking heads who tell the general population what to think. Their aim is to influence the political landscape by their erudite utterances. Their stock and trade is opinion, rather than fact with both generally being pulled out of their asses. The punditocracy thinks more of itself than those who listen to it.

pudiddle 

the game of pudiddle can be played when you have two or more people in a car. if a car with one headlight out is spotted, you have to yell pudiddle and hit the roof. the point of hitting the roof is to show who spotted it first, so the hitting of the roof pretty much determines the winner of that car. the person who yelled pudiddle and hit the roof first is safe, but everyone else in the car has to remove one item of clothing(both shoes count as one, both socks count as one). the point of this game is to spot the most pudiddles to get everyone else in the car naked except you. if there is a cop car with a headlight out and you get that pudiddle, everyone else in the car has to get completely naked, and if you spot someone with a tail-light out it counts as two pudiddles.

These individuals are usually offered talking points and a buried stipend (read: paid off) by a special interest group, such as a political party or industry lobby then go on to blog or make media appearances promoting their point of view to the detriment of people who are real-life practitioners and subject matter experts.
Andy is a pundit on technology issues but doesn't seem to have any real-world experience doing the things he promotes. Through some digging we can discover he is actually an industry shill.
