For about a month in 2012, before the rollout of Kinja as we transitioned from GEd, Gawker.com itself had no comments. The Republic survived. It would seem comments can and should be turned off until an effective solution is found.

Read the comments on this post: there are many great suggestions for long and short term. But above all: stop asking the Jez staff to handle it. At this point, it should be done by IT and HR.
I'm in the middle of this company tech thing, but I want to say this: this is exactly the right thing to do when people aren't paying proper attention to a real problem; it's not something I completely ignored but I obviously didn't give it proper attention, and I'm sorry about that; give me about 24-48 hours to…
They'd probably prefer a SURFBORT
Don't be fooled by the fact that I was your son
OH MY GOD did they mention this?! I'd like another shot at my caption: "Must resist urge to bang former onscreen son!"
They grow up so fast...
I love that she's not being handled or managed by anyone. She's like Charlie Sheen.
I got called a slut by the cashier at my college bookstore. My husband and I would go in there every day to get condoms (to be fair, we were having an ungodly amount of married sex to the point where I wonder how we still have genitals), and they only sold in three packs, so there were 2-3 trips per day. I also wonder…
My 64 year old dad has never given a fuck about buying tampons or pads. "What the fuck do people think I'm going to do with them?" are his exact words. He's got three girls and eleventybillion granddaughters. He bought my younger sister her first bras. Did he care what some cashier thought about a man in his 40s…
I was once at CVS and this woman was a big ball of stress about just buying pads . She was crying and I asked her if I could help... she told me and I grabbed 4 packs. She was reluctant not wanting to impose ( I did the same when I was in need) but I told her, I've been where she was, it's not a bad thing. I can help…
There's a dude in india who's working tirelessly to create a cheap or easily producible tampon or pad or something and the biggest problem he's had is testing it - none of his sisters or his wife were comfortable giving him feedback on how well they work. He actually created and wore (wears?) an artificial uterus…
theres an excellent documentary about an Indian man who invented a machine (and subsequently a company employing women in low income areas) that makes pads out of cotton (I think) for very cheap after he saw what his wife was using during her period and he wanted to help. I love him and want to meet and thank him for…
I never really thought about what women on their period in third world countries have to go through. This post is one of those cold splashes of perspective. Thank you, sincerely.
My supermarket shopping the other day was a giant bottle of disinfectant, a turnip, a fuse, and shaving cream.
I will admit I have trouble buying condoms. I have a lot of social anxiety based on the fear of being judged. The last time I bought condoms (a 50-pack because they were on sale), the woman at the register called me a slut and said that I was going to burn in hell for being a whore.
I guess, in her defence, I did…
As a man whose bought tampoons for his girlfriend, I've always wondered why the hell it's considered a joke.
Isn't it more disheartening to see that some of the responses are from women?
Before I read it, I was like, "That looks like a lobster." Guess I'm just classy and not vulgar. You fucks.
