fake outrage is still fake.

How many articles have been on Jezebel about doing racism satirically is not okay? Why does Colbert get the "hey, everybody calm down" treatment? Because it's done better? Because he's funny? I don't get it.

Dear American Apparel,

addendum: this article reminds me of this cartoon -

I'm confused about why this is sexist. I am not saying that I would want someone (especially a stranger) to take upskirt pictures, but let's be real here.

The picture is pornographic. Okay fine, I don't find pornographic images to be necessarily sexist, especially in scenarios like this where the model is a…

I thought Hippocrates vowed to do only good.

I'm pretty sure it's not the MSG in Asian food, but the lard or large quantity of oil fast food Chinese places cook the food in. Or maybe some other ingredient they throw in. Most people who seem to be wary of Chinese restaurants with MSG eat Japanese food without a second thought, and that is packed with MSG.

Psychosomatic.

I work in an Asian grocery and *everything* is made with MSG and/or gluten (just straight up gluten not even foodstuffs that contain gluten). It amuses me to no end when the natural food people come in and their heads start spinning because apparently the 'Exotic East' is supposed to be so much better for you.

There is nothing funny about the absolute dearth of education in America's African American Communities.

Okay, I won't accuse you of posting clickbait stories (though to this point I've never used that phrase). Don't you dare take the road of righteous indignation when you are famous for hastily researched stories, trolling ESPN and Bleacher Report (though you are more like them than you care to admit), misspelled words…

I have to ask. Does it make people feel intellectually superior to show up on articles like this and immediately declare it to be bullshit? Because what I read in this article was basically someone saying "I did this thing, and this thing had a positive effect on me." Does it really matter if it was a placebo…

Ancient Eastern medicines do work. Just not when crazy white people co-opt them.

I get why clickbait isn't acceptable to use for some sorts of criticisms, but how do you figure it's not acceptable to use in the case of a misleading headline designed to make people think that a fairly mundane article is not mundane? I take it to mean the same thing. You may not like that it carries with it a much…

1. Gawker Media does not engage in journalism as a general rule.

This entire argument seems to teeter on disingenuously misinterpeting what people mean when they use the word clickbait. Clickbait and alluring headlines are not one and the same.

Oh shit! The Gawker family is getting sensitive about called out on their bullshit!

No. I will not shut up. There's a difference between writing a good headline and the "Most amazing story you'll see all day!" garbage HuffPo (and Gawker sometimes) is known for. That is the fucking worst.

I believe this article assumes, wrongly, that the Gawker media properties (Gawker, Deadspin, Jezebel, et al) participate in journalism.

Like clockwork. Here come them clicks.
