The fact that so many thought this post was serious both amuses and worries me. +1

On the bright side, now the residents of Los Angeles can stop pretending to care about baseball and go back to rooting for whichever team’s doing better between the Clippers and Lakers.

I was so upset that I vowed never to take advice from another person who walked around shirtless with a giant swastika tattoo on his chest again.

If they don’t push Big Show or Kane every fall, how are people supposed to know the Royal Rumble is just around the corner?

Damn, everything that has any sort of contact with Global Xplosion Impact Force Wrestling just turns to shit, doesn’t it? How the hell does this company keep going? Promoters that have made half as many mistakes as these guys have gone out of business in a shorter amount of time.

The author is the one advocating for changing behavior, because using the word “alleged” for allegations isn’t woke enough or whatever. But hey, if they want to keep being Gawker, keep being Gawker. Then eventually we’ll get to read pretentious posts about how Gizmodo Media was killed by gaslighting or a million other…

One would think someone that works for this particular company would want to cover their ass against lawsuits any way they can. They have 31 million reasons to do so.

Pretty cool, but kinda defeats the purpose of a candle holder, doesn’t it?

Because the Clippers aren’t really as good as their hot start and Golden State coughed up 25 turnovers?

Good point. And half the patrons at any given Applebee’s are already wearing jerseys anyway.

The NFL’s just gonna be a bunch of fat white guys running into each other in about 15 years isn’t it?

Even better, they should respond to the news in 140 characters or less. And people can log on and respond to the writers! Also in 140 characters or less! What a brilliant idea! I see nothing bad coming from this.

Every time I start to feel bad for 49er fans, I remember how quickly they reverted back to their ‘80s-’90s levels of douche as soon as they started winning again, so fuck ‘em. If the decade of losing prior to Harbaugh couldn’t humble those insufferable pricks nothing will.

When he announced the 10th anniversary edition of Name of the Wind with not a mention of Doors of Stone, I knew he was never going to put it out. As someone here once said, Rothfuss seems to prefer “being a writer” more than actually, you know, writing.

Lin Manuel-Miranda’s adaptation of the Patrick Rothfuss fantasy series has now landed at Showtime. [/Film]

It was like the baseball was getting in the way of other plans he had.

Yeah, right. If he was so good ten years ago, then how come he’s not on the Cavs?

Are we playing Let’s Remember Some World Series MVPs?

Yeah, well, the jerk factory just called, and they’re all out of YOU!

Considering how disdainful everyone at io9 seems for this series genre fiction in general, I can only imagine that sad Incredible Hulk music plays whenever anyone gets an assignment on it and drags themselves morosely back to their desk.
