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

Either way, I don't want it to exist.

The $60,000 hair weave story was funny on a meta level, like you want longform investigative journalism? We found out where Trump's hair comes from!

I miss the dumb criminal stories on Gawker.

dying at Gawker responding to a bond villain with "your friend said faggots before Bill Clinton was in office — GET READY FOR THE SHAMING OF A LIFETIME"

running an ad for a THE 25 MOST BEAUTIFUL FEMALE POLITICIANS listicle, with a photo of some tits in parliament, halfway down the page helps shore up the moral high ground

was there an easier way to present this information. perhaps make it more similar to a Buzzfeed listicle

kinja sucks

Cool dead baby pic on your front page, you douchebags. Thanks for saving me a trip to rotten.com.

Photo is credited to the Associated Press ffs, grow up.

Same photo appears on Slate, Voice of America, NY Post, The Sun, The Daily Mail, and ABC News.

Okay, all grown up now and surprisingly okay with randomly happening upon photographs of drowned infants. Thanks for the advice!

It's a newsworthy photo taken by a legit photographer that appeared on plenty of mainstream news outlets. Dinging Gawker for also publishing it -- and comparing it to Rotten.com in the bargain -- is just nonsensical histrionics.

Like if your ish is with the photo, take it up with the AP, not Gawker.

In fairness, I'll extend the criticism to all news media: your photographs/videos of dead people/people being killed may be newsworthy and serve a purpose but put up some fucking barriers that require someone to willfully seek them out instead of making them a fucking sensationalist welcome mat.

Thank god R. Budd Dwyer did his thing thirty years ago.

The daily mail did it too!

Don't clutch your pearls so tight, might strain a tendon.

in most cases, i think publishing photos of dead bodies is gratuitous, but not here. 1,000 people died in the mediterranean this past week and it was mostly reported as an aside.

What are pearls for if not for clutching? And casting before swine, I guess?

I don't have a position on this, I just thought that pointing to other sources doing it is a poor argument. Showing brutal consequences can be valuable, but it's not valuable just because it's brutal.

oh god, Hamno

This was caused by politics, not by an act of god. Consider who caused it. And who allowed it to happen.

wake up, sheeple

this really did have the vibe of the kind of presentations the church of scientology probably gives people about how they're helping the world

peter thiel doesn't give a shit about hulk hogan's privacy

betcha hulk hogan doesn't give a shit about the sex part of his sex tape either:

http://nypost.com/2015/07/24/why-is-wwe-frantically-scrubbing-hulk-hogan-mentions/

Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan was body-slammed by WWE on Friday when it was revealed he went off on a racist tirade in his infamous sex tape that’s at the center of a lawsuit with Gawker, according to reports.

Hogan is heard spewing hate speech in a conversation about his daughter, Brooke, and her African-American boyfriend, sources told Radar Online and The National Enquirer:

“I mean, I’d rather if she was going to f–k some n—-r, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n—-r worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player! I guess we’re all a little racist. F–king n—-r.”

Well, yeah.

cloyd says merica not murica

GMG is heavily active in driving commerce-based revenues and has an impressive publishing and commerce platform with Kinja

lol

Spin off Deadspin and Jalopnik so they aren't encumbered by all the bullshit of Gawker Prime.

stupid question but would any new owner of Gawker instantly become vulnerable to any lawsuits regarding old Gawker posts?

my sense is they might be selling off like most things except gawker proper?

kinda wonder how much this whole thing has hinged on daulerio being a dumbass witness/asshole

not a lot, prob, assuming thiel is as big of a shithead as he is and his thought process when bringing the thing to trial is true (which I assume it is...)
