Disagree. As far as bullshit non apologies go, this was pretty good. At least it wasn't a "I'm sorry if anyone was offended", the typical douchebag rhetorical flourish.

scalding hot take.

I know it's "paid", but kinja.

You need to pay people with money; slave owners "payed" slaves with room and board, as well. Not paying a wage in money violates minimum wage laws, and given that these homeless people were also having their SS checks confiscated...yeah, totally illegal.

Was at a crappy zoo in southern China, made my way to "monkey mountain" which was the only real attraction in the whole place ("yak hill" was incredibly depressing). So monkey mountain was a large artificial rock mountain with a crappy rusted fence trail lead up to a small enclosure at the summit. The monkeys were…

Good on you for owning your mistake, Anna. Not many writers (particularly on Gawker) are willing to do that.

Looks like it was.

Yeah that guy just about made me pee myself.

That's really good.

You're probably right, this most likely isn't the best place to be having this debate, but there are a couple points I'd like to respond to.

McGangbang has always been an awful name. It's a McMountain.

I thought the "hands up, don't shoot" thing came specifically out of the the initial eyewitness accounts of the Mike Brown shooting. Is that wrong? I understand how it can be applied much more broadly, but is it weird to think that at least some people would think that since these are the St. Louis rams, and the hands…

Really, the race director is laying blame on the high school volunteers for failing to stop the looters? That's classy.
