Solution: Stage your own awards show and distribute the awards as you please.

Amazing that something like this worked. It's not like they had a template to follow of conferences and schools doing this since 1978...

I was guessing this was the case. Glad to see you confirm it.

I love Gawker websites because they are SO EDGY.

The Penguins sucked before Crosby? This guy disagrees with you...

Where are the Stadium Series games being played this season?

I never claimed to decide who could be offended by the article headline. A simple perusal of the comments associated with this blog posting will show that plenty of folks questioned the working of the headline.

After reading your blog post, I've come to the conclusion that you have extra-shitty preferences in music.

I said I wasn't personally offended by it. That doesn't mean someone else might not be. And based on reading various comments to this blog post, it seems like quite a few people called the headline into question, all for the same reason. So again, to be consistent, it's the intent of the person making a statement that…

It's very nice for you to decide what is offensive and what isn't offensive for everyone else. While we're doing that, I hereby declare all iterations of the 'n-word', the name of the Washington professional football team, and Adam Levine as inoffensive as well.

Let's ignore hypocrisy when it's not convenient to address it.

I actually do not disagree with you. It WOULD be stupid for her to change the headline because someone else perhaps viewed it in a way other than how it was intended. Now, can we agree on such for all cases of offense-taking?

I'm not offended by the headline at all personally. I'm simply pointing out that the lead commenter in this particular thread questioned the headline as possibly racist, and instead of changing the headline, the blogger instead chose to respond with what amounts to 'you can't be offended by the headline because I…

We're behaving like morons because we're subtly pointing out the hypocrisy at hand here? Gotcha. Thanks for the enlightenment.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. The blogger wrote a headline, someone took exception to it. That's pretty cut and dried. Doesn't matter how the headline was intended, what matters is how it was received.

What on Earth are you even trying to say? It's nice to know that some people have started imbibing adult libations early today, wish I could join you in doing so!

That's a very constructive answer.

You don't get to decide who the title offends and who it doesn't offend, regardless of your own ethnicity.
