T/S: Defamer v. Gawker

like you get mad that you're getting the b-team's commentary on an snl nip slip

i mean it's just such a wildly noticeable drop in quality that it's disconcerting

or at least one that doesn't have gawker's self-referencial/ironic/deprecating eye because Gawker.tv is as shameless about OMG LOOKIE AT THIS THING for completely boring inconsequential link-grabbing buuullshit as like Perez Hilton or Oh No They Did Not

when you see [Gawker.TV] at the end of a post dont click on it

or if a story's called "Gawker.TV: The Five Best Videos Ever of the Day" you probably should just not click on it either

some gawker tv shit is great (like during the late night war) but other stuff is overhyped, yeah -- oh well

guy who posts late-night gawker.tv links used to be an ONTD moderator, so no surprises there.

he was also the one who didn't know who laurie anderson was, leading to much mirth and merriment.

Re: The guy who wrote an article on his date with Christine O'Donnell... I don't often resort to the term "stooping to someone's level," but Jesus Christ I need to move out of this country, it's filled with such morally hideous human beings.

^^as well as being a repugnant thing to print, that piece wasn't even a good story! like, gawker failing at journalistic ethics is duh, but that thing failed as gossip too

Totally unsurprising, though, surely? It's not like it's out of character for Gawker. Are people biting their tongues about the site because a well-liked poster here writes for it?

Um, no?

so nice to hear that im well-liked!

no, you're well, "liked"

read that as asterisks

*likes max*

you're likable enough, max

you're like, ENOUGH, max

you're like max

The San Francisco baseball Giants just won the World Series!

max, what word in this sentence is completely superfluous? Hint: The Meadowlands are not in Marin County.

good god

making mashed potatoes for 2, cleaning their credit cards, wow, these must be the most efficient, productive, successful people out there and not desperate shut-ins

lifehacker is so funny

there is one really useful article for every five instances of ocd insanity

Next take the eraser (we prefer Pink Pearl erasers, but the one on the end of a pencil will do just fine) and gently erase/rub the magnetic strip on the back. It will remove any gunk that's built up over time.

jesus

fucking

christ

pageviews on the mashed potatoes article: 13,433

will it? will it do just fine? i don't have to run out and pick up a three-pack of Pink Pearls, you're letting that one go? or should i spring for the bulk box of 36, because the offgassing of retail plastic packaging causes the rubber to age inconsistently? huh? can i get a fucking answer over here?

if you use the eraser on a dixon ticongeroga itll irreparably destroy your credit score

gonna try the credit card cleaning trick on my library card, will report back

Haha, I thought that was going to be like "wiping out your debt."

mashed potatoes for two could so easily be a jezebel article

you make it and reserve 1.85 servings for yourself and .15 for your cat, then you f5 jezebel and read a daily mail repost about how men are repulsed by fatasses (with two sentences of "my third-wave ladies can you believe this shit?" commentary) thus inciting a fit of self-loathing which perpetuates the cycle of #groupthink

btw i am totally going to try an erasing on the mag strip of my debit card--that shit is fucked up

don't try it on your library card unless you want the RIDE OF YOUR LIFE

lol
