Because it was consensual. The people in attendance (including participants) have said it was. Therefore, it’s not a sex crime, it’s just frats being douchebags, which is fine to show, I guess.

Are you going to update this to reflect that it WAS consensual (per statements from those involved and those in attendance)? Or will you just say, “Fuck it, who needs facts when you have a narrative to push!”?

She came out and said she wants to be public about these accusations - that’s how they have her real name.

Except it’s entirely distinguishable from insider trading, because there is not “fantasy sports SEC” to regulate it. What happened was very, very sketchy....but nothing about it was illegal. There are no laws prohibiting it. Given that, it’s not really that risky of an investment. Combine that with the fact that you…

Once again, you should that you’re one of the best employees at Gawker.

He’s crazy, but so is Gloria Govan. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if she goaded him into coming there. That doesn’t even remotely absolve him for what he did - he’s a grown man, and he should know better. But to cast this woman as an innocent isn’t exactly accurate. The report of domestic violence you linked to…

Many of the people protesting are the people you say are “indentured servants” (even though they are paid, so that’s not really an accurate term).

There was stand up before the Apollo, dude. Just because you haven’t heard about it doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.

What shit? If there is turmoil in an artist’s life, it’s a pretty general question to ask if they’ve been able to use that as a positive in any way.

I think you just unintentionally made fun of Rex Ryan’s foot fetish. That’s awesome. +1

No, what your example proves is customers prefer #3b over #3, not that they WANT #3b. You can look at that very example and argue that customer WANT neither #3 or #3b, but they have limited options and thus, choose from what they are given.

You seem to think that the fact that crime stories have elevated page view numbers as indicative of people “wanting” them. That is a fundamental misunderstanding of how to find “want” in data.

Guess what, troll! I’ve already explained this to 2 other commenters! Why don’t you read the thread!

No, not everyone. Just 3 of you, who would rather write snarky, nonsensical comments than have a discussion.

“I have absolutely nothing productive to add, and I either haven’t read or don’t really understand the arguments being voiced around me, so I’m going to be a pedantic troll and reply to every single comment with snarky comments that aren’t even remotely funny.”

You’re aware traffic numbers are not how you evaluate “want”, right?

Read the whole thread. I’ve already addressed this. He’s wrong.

What? The article itself shows tweets from local fox and MSNBC affiliates in places all across the country. I have not treated this like “a food columnist” was doing it - in fact, I used the exact examples that were cited in the article.

You fucking moron. The colloquial understanding of “self-appointed” doesn’t require there to be any actual appointment - that’s the whole fucking point, that one has given themselves a title that is not given. Are there any terms you know how to use correctly?

*self-appointed - statisticians aren’t having their faces rubbed with holy oil by priests, now are they?
