Gawker Bullshit Megathread
« on: August 05, 2015, 05:09:50 pm »
Okay, considering how frequently Gawker does sleazy, unethical, or just plain hateful things, I think it deserves its own megathread.

Their most recent offense?  Publishing a creepshot of Lenny Kravitz's penis:

How's that "20% nicer" thing working out for you, Mr. Denton?

Well, the dick slip happened at a concert in front of thousands of people, so it's hardly an invasion of privacy at this point.

It is a sad day when a man's privates are not allowed the decency of privacy simply because of an incident of indecent exposure.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Meh, at least he's got a decent-looking schlong.  I've seen much worse.

Although, if you're gonna wear pleather pants, underwear is generally a good idea, IMO.

Actually that's pretty refreshing.  I mean for years, we've had female celebrities being dragged through the mud with nude photos and nobody batting an eye, glad to see the shoe is on the other foot towards male celebrities.  Still terrible btw, but refreshing.

I'm fairly certain that at least 20% of Gawker's readerbase are people like Paragon who only read it for the sake of being outraged.
