hey gawker dudes. what the fuck is wrong with you?

why not just blame Daulerio

Daulerio more like Dollarios down the drain

i just hope this doesn't affect rob bricken

lol pwned

"Owner Hulk Hogan"

I think ultimately the blame must be shared between the lawyer who didn't tell gawker not to publish a hulk hogan sex tape and the lawyer who didn't tell hulk hogan not to sue gawker

Bad for the free press, but much worse for people that post sex tapes against the wishes of the unknowing participant.

A tender judgment of $115 million

whatever will the world do without gawker's quality reporting

wow honestly did not expect him to win this. and they awarded him more damages than he was asking for?? i guess they didn't get the joke!

always thought that leg drop of hulk's was an anticlimactic finisher

Gawking

can someone hack gawker and change their banner into a HULKAMANIA one

Screw that, go for PASTAMANIA

Just put "5+" in 100pt on the front page somewhere

yeeeesh

no way those damages hold up

maybe they could crowdfund a director's cut.

Giving the a sympathy click this morning.

Is it weird that after several obnoxious days of "watch the Hogan trial live" posts, the site hasn't mentioned getting its ass kicked?

No.

we've had a reporter down there for the entirety of the trial. my understanding is that we're not writing anything until the trial is over, which it isn't yet because they still have to award punitive damages next week.

scroll down to his bullet list of what counts as office lulz. will be completely unsurprised if his true legacy is the actual death of gawkermedia.

xpost fair enough, just felt kind of quiet after months of crowing.

@GawkerCareers
how many unfollows in last 24 hours?

NYT: The Gawker case is seen as an outlier because few media outlets would consider publishing a graphic sex tape in the absence of a strong public purpose, experts said.

Well, yeah.

it's crazy that it's been 20 years since the Tommy Lee/Pamela Anderson sex tape. back then it was no big deal for daytime TV shows, at least the syndicated tabloid ones like A Current Affair, to play clips of it, with the naughty bits blurred out. i guess Gawker might've been in the clear if they'd just blurred the naughty bits?

Hulks dick = like gross

Except they didn't acquire and publish it. They covered the publication of the tape. It's an important distinction.

right, i realize that, just thinking out loud about how long this whole sex tape era has been going on and how destigmatized it had been

I don't know why any human being would be dumb enough to make a sex tape in 2016

Isn't that the crux of the case?

if you take Hogan and Cole at face value, they didn't know a tape was being made

said it was Bubba secretly recording iirc (no idea how, what method, really try not to think about Hulk Hogan having sex more than I have to)

I don't know why any human being would be dumb enough to make a sex tape in 2016

yeah I can't imagine what would motivate a human being to make a sex tape. what mysterious force could possibly motivate someone

uh oh there isn't a joan crawford sex tape circulating out there i hope!

Joan Crawford: "I need sex for a clear complexion, but I’d rather do it for love.”

better than a Scott Baio sex tape

I don't know why any human being would be dumb enough to [insert long list of stuff people have indulged in despite the risks since forever] in 2016

joan crawford sex tape is stuff of legend, i think kenneth anger might reference it. first big celeb sex tape is probably jayne kennedy right? i mean they even did an episode of diff'rent strokes that was basically about it.

@annamphillips
Judge says Nick Denton's net worth is $121 million. AJ Daulerio has nothing but $27,000 in student debt #hulkvsgawk

so if they pool their resources that's $120,973,000 good deal I say pay the man

I can't wait for the video of Denton repeatedly punching Daulerio in the neck to leak

Prosecutor: “Can you imagine a situation where someone should be punched in the neck?”
Daulerio: "Yes."
Prosecutor: "How many times should they be punched?"
Daulerio: "Four."
