You could just Google Bubba the Love Sponge. You could also just think about why a shock jock might force his wife into sleeping with someone. Maybe Bubba just enjoys a nice session of cu*king?

It's the argument that was made by gawker's lawyer in court, and they kissed the bible and swore to tell the truth

Deadspin is good generally. I always appreciated them calling out Bill Simmons for being a loving hack.

Also the only thing that got shuttered is the Gawker.com domain name because it's a stigmatized brand. No one got fired and even if they did they can still keep blogging on the same drat website because Kinja is an open platform even if it is clunky and terrible.

Hulk Hogan should rename his penis to "the free press", because broadcasting it is a crime (and it's dead, limp, shriveled, killed Gawker, commodified by the internet, despised by conservative straight men, unable to please the housewive demographic, gets Denton and Theil hot and bothered, overestimated in scope and significance, not actually 10 inches, )

It's unfortunate that it takes a billionaires money to stop the evil media. Now if only literally every other main stream media and click bait site/newspaper was shut down and burned we could finally have a true free society.

So even if the hulkster knowingly allowed and abetted the release of this tape (which is insane and stupid and completely unfounded), he still owned the living hell out of Gawker by getting them to distribute images and video of his actual naked body and penis when literally every other site had the good sense to not do that

Gawker is/was an embarassment to the media. It funded itself by not paying its writers for anything, it violated people's privacies, Sam Biddle led the charge to get people harassed and fired for posting things he didn't like on social media

In general, it was an awful agency and they're lucky every single person who got hosed over by them didn't show up in a line when they locked the doors to kick the chief editor squarely in the balls one after another.

The reversal of who is getting bullied is really weird. Ok its not that weird but its disappointing and proof that things won't get better.

I'm not sure what my favorite part of that is because I scrolled it through it quickly and every single stop revealed a new and intriguing dimension to how pathetic the author is.


I think maybe it's the alcohol allergy. Dude's bitchmade all the way down to his genes.
