Have you ever seen a bigger bunch of a'holes?

assholes.jpg

This shouldn't bother me, because on a daily basis Gawker posts the most useless drivel anyone could ever find on the web, and passes it off as really important behind-the-scenes info on fashion, entertainment, nightlife, publishing and any other industries that list being able to get into Diddy parties as perks of the trade. They use the Cruise kid Vanity Fair cover as masturbation porn....you know what I mean? Basically douchebags. (And I know that's pretty close to what we do here, but they get paid for it)

But recently I read one post, which in the same breath scolds New Yorkers for not being cool enough to want Fashion Week to stay in Bryant Park, but chastises George Clooney for speaking at the UN on the Darfur situation. So, a midtown park closing twice a year for a handful of people striking they're best bored pose for the next issue of Vogue is good, but an actor trying to use his celebrity for a good cause is bad. The people at Gawker consistently remind me why so many Americans think New Yorkers are the most egotistical, self-important, petty, narcisistic assholes on the planet.

Q: So why do you read the fucking blog, douchebag?

A: Obviously, because I'm also an asshole, diskwad. Jesus, do I have to spell out everything for you people.

PS: They don't even allow people to post comments until they're pre-approved. So, they can dish it out on a daily basis, but can't take it...cowards as well as assholes. Leading me to have to write this useless post and waste your time as well as my own on a sunny Sunday morning. Sorry to bother you all...have a nice day.

I had really hoped this would be a post about the photo you used.

Only your fist comment on a gawker site has to be approved. Then you have free reign to post all you want.

Gawker commenters only have to be approved once in the whole Gawker system then they get free reign.

At least, that's how I understand the system to work.

This site, on the other hand, only finally posted my comment after the 3rd try.

He is right. They recently changed it so now you can post a comment on any of ther sites and after the first one you can comment on all thier sites.

I think mainly they are trying to weed out bots and spammers.
