I guess Gawker wouldn't pay ABP's extortion fees. Sometimes it's really hard to know who the bad guy is.

These "Announcements" are freakshows on par with "The Decision". They are completely repugnant to me, and they are elevating 18 year old kids to the level of incoming messiahs. These ridiculous spectacles are everything wrong with big-time college sports wrapped up in a neat little package. This kid and his family…

I also hold out hope for an inconvenient flight pattern overhead.

I hope they go with a retro design. Seeing as to how it will be located in a parking lot at the intersection if a couple of freeways, they should make it round, convertible to football with every seat a mile from the playing field. Bonus points for excessive use of reinforced concrete.

I really really really would like to pursue a career in blogging. I have so much to tell the world...like the ideas I have when I'm pooping, magical stuff.

Fortunately, the NY AG is going after Airbnb to clamp down on people like you. How would you like to be the neighbor who moves into an apartment only to find out they've got a hotel room next door, with transients, who have no stake in the place and no incentive to be quiet, polite, or otherwise get along with the…

I'm sure your neighbours hate you for turning the place that they live into a motel.

With such a snazzy app, I'm ready to invite random people onto my property, and maybe even share my house with me. One night at a time. With enough people, I'm bound to NOT run into thieves and worse. The law of averages is on my side this time, because it's an app.

this ruins neighborhoods and makes housing even more unavailable than it already is. look at san francisco. this is a plague.

Love the irony of you accusing others of cognitive dissonance as you pose with a woman responsible for the suffering of hundreds of thousands of poor women in countries not named America, saying she "inspired" you to write the article.

Apparently she is inspired by a murderous sociopath. Good to know. I will make sure to avoid her work in the future.

Great! Now when the next Robert Bales decides to shoot up a village no one will be able to recognize him for the testimony!

Ever notice how the badguy soldiers always wear masks in movies? It's to remove their humanity so the audience sympathises with the protagonists.

I'm starting to get the serious feeling that we aren't exactly the "good guys" when it comes to warfare, i.e. that we're more Stormtroopers than Rebel Troopers.

You know what would be more awesome? Disbanding the military down to a small training force in size so we're not tempted to used it all the damn time.

If I paid $1100 for a laptop and it didn't last six years, I'd be furious. I'm still using a laptop from 2004 that I paid $500 for. Same as you, RAM upgrade and battery replacement. Soon I'll be throwing in an ssd and hoping to hit 15 years.
