Last week, the media-hijinks website Gawker made a wee oopsy. It posted a story about some guy -- literally, just some guy -- attempting to step out on his wife with a gay porn star who then tried to blackmail our hero.
they've made piles of money off non-famous people for years. "look at this dumb idiot who sent a dumb email" or whatever. but in most cases, those people had outed *themselves.* it wasn't a "disclosure of private facts."
Did they break that "story" about that ham-hand on Wall Street who sent a really nasty email to some woman he dated about what an awful date she was but he'd still like to bang her so she'd better shape up?
Because that was funny. That I could see doing, but this story doesn't even have the charm of being a ha-ha.
Unfortunately it's true now more than ever in America. 6 companies control 90% of the media in this country. And the bullshit we are being fed is obvious.
God bless Rebecca. I'm sending money.

Hooray, snarky sousaphone is a thing!
He comes from a long line of Brian the Servers, a reputable house from Scotland, second in age only to Robert the Bruce's lineage.
Absolutely. Think of how hard it is to be up there on stage with a complete moron, if it is your mother.
Yours,either? I've given up.
ME LIBEL!!!!
Salon. Equally as annoying, from a whole different angle.
I'LL DO IT! (Beats throwing out a mattress, for now.)
I came for the sternly crossed arms and finger wags, I stayed for the dicks wet with poo.

First Ana Marie Cox and now Rebecca?
Thank you. Good read.
This is brilliant. Thanks for posting it.
They have a selection of $300 champagnes at Balthazar, that's definitely what comprised the "screw you" course of the meal.
