Still better than android clock



a respectable journalism outlet that, when presented with the choice between "famous man is actually racist rear end in a top hat" or "look at the penis of a famous man", made a predictable choice

A Gawker editor is soliciting readers for the address of Darren Wilson, aka the officer behind the shooting of Michael Brown. He was in hiding at the time because a bunch of people wanted to kill him.

The second is from a video game website. The various Gawker properties are terrible for overlapping but non-identical reasons.

they said they'd show a sex tape of a five year old in the hulk hogan trial because they consider it newsworthy, other websites are too afraid to do that.

Yes lets do that, because the humor is derived by contrasting their asserted values with their actual product.

But most terrible companies and indited entertainers also do some good things, and aren't the years of bringing laughter to the world what really matter?

the first time i heard hannibal buress tell a joke about video games, and you could tell from the joke that he actually was a Video Games Enthusiast, and not just some loving normie writing a joke based on what they remember about Super Mario, i knew he was a keeper.

i saw him last month for like $5 at meltdown comics with janeane garafalo and ron funches. buress told a lot of great jokes about like 'being a comic' and the poo poo he gets asked/has to do. it was a really good set.

there were also crickets that were up in the rafters chirping and so whenever there was a pause, he'd be like "What the gently caress, crickets? jesus this a hard crowd"

do you find you often have trouble parsing humour from sentences

Gawker is good and valuable, and AJ Daulerio (or however you spell that) is kind of a shithead. those things can both be true

Also, gawker doesn't do clickbait. At least, not bullshit curiosity gap clickbait. And they're not just a reposting site for other content like most of buzzfeed, news aggregation isn't just embedding a vine video
