It can appeal without the bond, it just runs the risk of not being able to recoup that amount from Hogan if it wins on appeal and he's spent it all. I'd assume it'd depend on how the execution of the judgment was carried out.

Ironic, since this case will take a shit all over actual news organizations if it's upheld.

Ok, you're not actually correct. They don't HAVE to post bond. However, Hogan can execute the judgment after 10 days if they don't post a bond, and although he would have to pay it back if the case was reversed on appeal they may find that he's judgment proof at the end of it.

I rep abusive and negligent parents in appeals,* Gawker isn't that bad.

Got a cite for that? I'd love to read about it.

Fuck and yes. I am so, so glad he was gone. Deadspin is a really good website, but it went completely into the shitter when Daulerio took it over. He's a tool, and I can't believe I'm forced to defend him.

Gonna save this to remind you when President Trump has the NY Times dissolved for publishing his sex tape.

Except that this still never should have gotten to trial, because Hogan is a public figure, there's nothing false about what they published, and it WAS a matter of public interest even if it also is evidence that the public are a bunch of prurient fuckwits.

Their journalism is at times really fucking flawed (outing that dude was a way worse invasion of privacy than Hulk Hogan's sex tape) but they've broken legit stories.

Gawker as a whole is better than it was when they published the Hogan tape. A big part of that is getting probable date rapist and certain fuckstick AJ Dauleiro out of the organization.

Save it for the appellate brief where you can shade the fuck out of the opposing party!

You're clearly not an attorney. As gross as Gawker was here and can be, this is a shit-tastic ruling and should never have even gotten to trial.

And now you understand why every right thinking Gilmore Girls fan knows that Rory will eventually end up with Paris. Lot of spoilers at this link, but it's the motherfucking TRUTH: http://the-toast.net/2013/1…

The funny thing is that she's younger than me, and I'm too young to be a Hollywood leading man.

You don't have a very high opinion of Rory, do you?

It's a North American opossum, which is also a marsupial but less cute and larger than their distant Australian cousins. It must have been pretty chilled out and used to human handling, since otherwise it would have gone limp and "played possum."

It's not a huge shock given this show's progeny. On P&R Leslie and Ben were pretty awesome together from the start, and it was only interoffice dating rules that created drama in their relationship.

"Ted Cruz looks like a half melted butter sculpture of Richard Nixon." (h/t some wag on Twitter)

It's ok. The victims are mostly poor and black. We can just throw the kids in jail when they grow up while tut-tutting about how black culture is so bankrupt, no one will remember we're the one who gave them lead poisoning, which is correlated with all sorts of shitty outcomes.

That's a shame, I can see the Doof Warrior earning a spot as Herod's court musician once the Immortan fell from power.
