Hey, you know what's fun? Answering surveys! Honestly, recent studies have shown that frequent survey-responders are considered more attractive, affable, and (where applicable) well-hung than those who choose not to answer surveys. Which is to say that we have no clue what this is about, but if you don't answer this…

Hopefully you're enjoying the fantastic new redesign here at Gawker. We're aware that there are still a few unresolved issues, but rest assured that our tech team is working diligently to address them.

Some disturbing news about "a teen phenomenon sweeping the nation. It's something we found most teens know about, but few parents had any clue of. It's called EMO CULTURE," and the crack investigative team from Utah's ABC affiliate is all over it. Fear for your children, people.
Will "Red Eye," the Fox News' over-the-counter late-night sleep aid, be a success?

Is Kenneth Eng finally learning the difference between good attention and bad attention? The Village Voice reports that everyone's favorite Asian supremacist (who was so upset that the kid at Virginia Tech pulled off a violent bloodbath before he could), is currently a guest of the city.
Eng was arrested May 11th…"Tuesday," reports the Wall Street Journal, "Richard F.
