The Jezebel business model is unique in the sense that getting it right actually brings in disappointing profits ... getting it wrong, that's where the real money (clicks) are.

It's interesting how Jezebel sees fit to comment on legal proceedings and doesn't seem to have the slightest clue as to the concept of comparative fault. The writers here always seem to be stunned that their nonsense, made-up quasi legal sounding doctrine of "blaming the victim" isn't like a real thing.

I used to go to the Vicente Calderon in the early 90s to watch Atletico Madrid games and the things I'm seeing these days with "El Cholo" Simeone at the head are unreal.

I lived in Hawaii for a summer in the early 90s and some of the locals weren't particularly big on "haoles." My Hawaiian friends were super cool to me, but I remember leaving a bar one night with a bunch of locals following me and a friend. As they were about to confront us, a taxi came around the corner and I feel as…

In California, prosecutors have ten years to file rape charges, but the state's legal definition of rape requires penetration. The six-year statute of limitations for the lesser offense of sexual battery reportedly ran this summer.

If your point is that GM moved the industry forward with the EV1, that seems like a pretty weird argument to make considering GM scuttled a successful program because of either pressure from oil companies or to avoid loses in spare part sales. Either way, the EV1 example basically showed that the business model…

I streamed it recently on Netflix and man has that movie held up well ... I thought it was fantastic. At the time, it caused quite a stir for some of the violence toward the end. I'm not big on violent movies, but by today's standards, it was not a big deal. Mickey Rourke was a hell of an actor before he became a…

In other news, woman who made a career out of offending people, then riding the subsequent publicity bubble continues to offend people and then ride the subsequent publicity bubble.

Is there any way to skip the lengthy Alfa commercial before these videos? I think the Alfa is fantastic, I just don't need to see the video over and over. I get it, I want one.

It's pretty telling how much spin was placed in such a short paragraph ... "returned to argue with us," "lecture us," "insisted on creating a scene," pleaded our case," "scoured the Flight Attendants' Handbook," "my husband pleaded with her," "sobbing," "zero compassion." Somehow, I get the feeling she's only telling…

This is exactly right. Could Facebook simplify its privacy controls so you wouldn't need a book from the Dummies series to control what content others see? Of course it could. Zuckerberg and those at the top perform a very simple analysis: profits gained from additional advertising against profits lost from vague…

"Obviously Facebook didn't mean for this to happen ..."

Facebook is one of these businesses where confusion about how the business works creates big profits. It's entirely in their best interest to keep things confusing, while paying lip-service to privacy concerns. If people knew exactly what they were sharing and with whom, they'd lock down their profiles, which would…

"Anonymous, the digital crusaders who have doxxed rapists and Darren Wilson(before we knew Darren Wilson) have found their newest target: Iggy Azalea."

"You're"

Your missing the whole concept of an apology of equal dignity. She mocked these two guys in large type font, detailing what fucking morons they were over a page of text, with the commenters all too willing to "pile on" for pages and pages thereafter. And in your mind, it's apparently sufficient to sneak in an apology…

Why don't you just link to the appropriate post? The post where you were dead fucking wrong wasn't the one where Rolling Stone partially retracted its story and that's the post you just linked to. It was the one where you called two men idiots who suspected early on that the Rolling Stone story wasn't true. Since you…

A while back, I had a Mercedes 240d and I was driving some friends around San Francisco and there were a couple of hills that proved too much for that car. I had basically had two options: either pull into a driveway and find another easier hill or blow through the stop sign before the hill to get the necessary run up…

What are your thoughts on calling someone a "Soup Nazi"?

There's a BS tactic that people use when they get bad news. In this case, the girl lost (the bad news) and then her mom took issue with the way the bad news was delivered (the message). Many people will say: "Oh, I don't care about the bad news, but the way you delivered it was completely inappropriate." (Thereby now…
