Prior to Kinja, I headed the trollpatrol team for Jezebel, as many people here know. We dealt with rape gifs, violent pornography, racism, and harassment regularly, but there was a system in place with which to have it reported and dealt with.

After reading the headline, I was convienced Peak Palin was one of her children. I'm glad it's not but this is still troubling.
Now playing
Do you remember the moment when you learned how to play video games? When the joystick or the gamepad stop being a…
I agree. She would be perfect for a gig like this.
It really is a pity that Aisha Tyler isn't a touch less busy and successful and happy, but I can't see her wanting to cut down on her other projects to take on something like a late night show.
Your suggestion would then be that women or minorities are incapable of making old white people laugh.
Him?
You cannot play these!
I would never be creeped out by how much I wanted to have sex with Jamie Dornan.
OK, i'll say it - I miss Friendster
