So Two "Top Editors" Have Resigned from Gawker, In Protest of "Interference" From the "Business Side" of the Entrerprise
This piece is hosted on an archive site, so Gawker doesn't get any traffic from it.
Nick Denton published an extraordinary claim on his site Kinja (no link):I’m sorry also that Jordan Sargent, reporting this story impeccably despite a personal drama, was exposed to such traumatizing hatred online, just for doing his job.Gawker is apologizing for exposing Jordan Sargent to "traumatizing hatred online"? Isn't exposing random people to traumatizing hatred online their entire business model? Don't forget: The Justine Sacco incident was contrived by a Gawker writer at ValleyWag, a vertical which seeks to dump hatred on random people in Silicon Valley. If you don't know about the Gawker meltdown, you can read my piece about it from Friday night. It's got a hell of a headline, if I do say so myself. This is like watching a game between two teams you despise: You're rooting for injuries. Oh, and Michael Wollf wrote that in a recent conversation with Gawker's head Nick Denton, Nick Denton took a cavalier attitude towards gratuitous nastiness.
Denton immediately emailed me [after a completely gratuitous attack on Wolff's "noncombatant" pregnant girlfriend] and, in our exchange, apologized for the Gawker coverage about my girlfriend and forthcoming baby: "That description of Victoria was mean and pointless." Then he added: "I do wish there was a better way to address insults without storing up resentment ... I would love to institutionalize and automate some right of response. Even the most insolent of Gawker bloggers is better and more reasonable in an exchange." Again, there is this odd after-the-fact, hands-off, extremely passive sort of contrition. And then the weird, "I would love to institutionalize and automate some right of response." Huh? His point seemed to be that there was in fact no oversight, and no responsibility, prompting questions about whether Denton is able to exercise oversight, or has in effect relinquished most responsibility. Last fall, he acknowledged something like this, saying he was pulling back and assigning greater oversight powers to a management committee.No oversight = a damaging admission which will be used in the Hulk Hogan lawsuit. Also, Wolff goes on to note, bitterly but deservedly, that Gawker writers will have a hard time getting jobs at other places. Milo Yiannopoulos collected all the people who should sue Gawker. The strongest case would appear to be James Franco's -- because a former Gawker writer admitted on Twitter (before deleting it) that he made up a "baseless" claim that Franco was guilty of a violent gay rape, and he did so because he "felt like" doing it -- and so did his boss. (He did not specify which "boss" he meant.)

And there's this:
"the responsibility Nick had vested in the executive editor is in fact meaningless, that true power over editorial resides in the whims of the four cringing members of the managing partnership"
Denton reorganized the structure of Gawker inc a ways back. One assumes to personally shield himself from the Hulk Hogan case and such. But piercing the corporate veil like this ain't gonna help him much with that strategy.

Coca Cola had a bot which would take text tweeted to it and make shapes out of it. It was for their 'make the internet nice' campaign after the Super Bowl.
Gawker did it just to ruin the ad campaign, basically. They had some justification of how Coca Cola was phony or something.
The real reason was that Gawker is just a bunch of dicks who thought it was funny to make Coca Cola write nazi phrases.

"I'm sorry also that Jordan Sargent, reporting this story impeccably despite a personal drama, was exposed to such traumatizing hatred online, just for doing his job."

Exposing people to traumatizing hatred online is the whole point of Gawker, and its various SJW smear-sites.

Well among other things, he's been Harry in the Spiderman movies. And the dude who cut his arm off in the movie, 127 Hours.
He's an actor. A bit of a goof, it would appear. And a stoner. And probably gay... Probably.

If you take a successful blog with a dedicated readership and enough co-bloggers, split it into sub topic blogs and feed links back and forth promoting each other, you reach what could be a very profitable critical mass.
Of course, you need a back end with a bit more horsepower than Pixy's mice on a treadmill, but that's just writing a check.

Lol, my reaction too. Pretentious king of the Hollywood hipsters.
He has played several gay characters. He played Allen Ginsberg in the film Howl, he was actually decent in that. At Sundance on year they had a film of his called Interior, Leather Bar that recreated lost footage from some famous gay porno? And at Sundance this winter he was in the film "I am Michael", about a real gay activist that renounced his homosexuality.
Dunno if Gawker hates him just to hate him and thus tried to smear him as actually gay, nttawwt, and also a rapist. (You'd think they would get ostracized just for that hate crime alone, let alone everything else they've done.) But I bet its his speaking out about the importance of hard work that made their heads explode.

Have never seen Gawker, couldn't pick any of the people discussed in post/comments above out of a line-up. Kind of like an NPR listener trying to understand economics, national security, the constitution, rule of law, history, science, or religion, in other words.
But I did just hear (OT) the sickening drone of that idiot Kerry (and he is an idiot) calling the stupid concessions to the corrupt enemy regime in Cuba, er, I mean, the long-overdue meh whatever who cares re-opening of embassies, "historic". (he emphasized the word).

He's also very coy about the topic. Which frankly (npi), is a much better way to handle it (NPI!) than Tom Cruise... which might also explain why he isn't suing. He doesn't want to be such a douchebag about it, because he knows it comes with the territory of being a famous "actor" in Hollyweird.

OK, is it worth discussing the substance of the piece? Gawker's brand, as I gather, is that it's shameless and outrageous on the editorial side. Denton says management has never previously interfered with editorial.
Is management destroying the brand, or was pulling the story necessary because so much libel? And was it so much more libel than they're used to?

Basically all these bands are pre-fab. They are "cute," and commit no sins, and are barred from being pictured or reported to be dating.
People know this is fake, and everything's scripted, like pro-wrestling, but they don't care.
BabyMetal, being 12-15 year old girls and innocent and cute, are just a metal version of the "Icons."
The sign they make on their foreheads is the japanese sign for a fox. They did not want to do real metal devil's horns -- that is not cure nor innocent -- so their version is the sign of the fox.
Also when they sing in the song "Gimme chocolate," that is not a metaphor for sex, or even love.
They are actually just telling you they want chocolate.

video games in japan offer players the opportunity to create and manage their own -- scripted, pre-fab -- icons, and see how popular they can make them.
I don't know how that would work -- do these games come loaded with a bunch of songs? how many? -- but apparently such games exist and are popular.
so people are in on the joke, they know what's going on behind the curtain, but they also don't care.
it's an interesting thing -- knowing a thing is inauthentic, but being able to make oneself enjoy it on an innocent level, as if one did NOT know it was inauthentic.

The bulk of their music was slickly manufactured pop done by a bimbo with one name - Sandy, Jessica, Linda... just pick a girl's name, attach it to a 20-year-old model, make a dance track, repeat.

this is why women aren't funny. This entire bit, and basically everything today's "hot" women comics are about is relatable only on a SJW level: this is thinly veiled bitching and whinging about the unfairness of it all. It's the furthest thing from funny, other than the catty attacks on women who get plastic surgery, kind of like how Chris Rock could do the best jokes making fun of black people. They should concentrate on ridiculing other women, which they well, instead of addressing sexual inequalities, which, however noble they may be, are not funny.

Is THIS the kind of beta-male that is scouring the battlefield shooting survivors? And they can't hack the very hatred they viciously sic on others?
The Left are the ones who decided to weaponize nastiness like this -- now they can't tolerate even an iota in return?
Figuratively punch them until they spit blood and teeth. Make them experience what they happily subject others to -- and phuck them HARD.

Sort of describes the societies at large, no? America is the story of the pluckish young kids who are living their dreams while Japan is still a much more orderly and and top down society. We create trends but Japan has mastered the mass production whether its cars or music.

video games in japan offer players the opportunity to create and manage their own -- scripted, pre-fab -- icons, and see how popular they can make them.
I don't know how that would work -- do these games come loaded with a bunch of songs? how many? -- but apparently such games exist and are popular.
so people are in on the joke, they know what's going on behind the curtain, but they also don't care.
it's an interesting thing -- knowing a thing is inauthentic, but being able to make oneself enjoy it on an innocent level, as if one did NOT know it was inauthentic.
I guess we have that in america with manufactured pop princesses and all, but it seems to have been taken to new levels in Japan.

I laughed so hard my ass fell off.
That reminds me. For some reason I was in a waiting room or lobby or something and they had the movie Dodgeball on. With the director's commentary.
If you don't remember, Dodgeball is a super-goofy lovable loser movie. It's got Ben Stiller as an over the top villain gym owner. Vince Vaughn as a super slacker gym owner, and his gang of losers who try to scrape together some money to save their gym by playing a dodgeball competition.
Anyways, the director wanted the lovable losers to lose in the end. It didn't test well, at all. So they made him tack on a happy ending. Whatever, it's a goofy movie.
Nope. This tool is bellyaching about how his artistic integrity is compromised, and this Deus ex Machina ending is the worst ever etc.
Dude. You made a grossout, goofy comedy with Vince Vaughn in it. You're not Akira Kurosawa.

Gettysburg. A few weeks ago the idea of a Horde visit to the battlefield came up and a couple of us thought it would be a good idea to organize it. Clearly, the best thing to do is to consult everyone on dates and schedule it a month in advance.
But really.
So, someone got Her calendar cleared for this weekend and it's a go. At least three Moron/'Ettes will visit Gettysburg this Saturday. The best idea so far is a horseback tour.

Norma Tanega (of "Walkin' My Cat Named Dog" fame) was a one-woman "all-girl" group.
Nok Pornpana from Thailand -- though really she's just a solo artist too.

I got to drive them around to the radio gigs when my college sponsored a concert. Belinda was high as a kite at that time. Nice enough but not really.

They were all cute, especially chubby little Belinda. The real weird space cadet was Jane Wiedlin. The kind of strange that's so unnerving you just want to stay away from her.

There is an interesting documentary about the Cowsills. Dad was abusive and they had lots of personal problems. One of them wound up dying in Katrina.

Until Belinda stole the show. Then it became a girl band.
You can hear the punk in the first album.

Terminator 4 has joles in the story so large a 747 could have passed thru.
Remember when that giant robot silentlysnuck up on our heroes in the gas station?
Then after that it was a super loud, clanking monstrosity?
Or how about the hero saying no fires due to thermal used by the hunters? Yet people have fires going everywhere?
It was garbage.

Most interesting part was taking the band manager and promoter to the bank to pick up their 20,000 payday. That's what we paid just to get them booked. Of course they also got the gate.

This is like watching a game between two teams you despise: You're rooting for injuries.
I'm not that nice. I usually root for one of the SMOD's smaller children to strike the middle of the playing surface during the game, vaporizing both teams and as many fans as possible.
Because any ill-will I feel towards a particular team is mostly because of their fans being dickwads.
