Rita Skeeter probably hit too close to home.

Consider Gawker writers get a lot of their material from The Daily Mail, surprised this got published.

The offending author:

I would love it if it turned out that everyone "in the know" (which I would not be, not being a journalist, a Brit, or a dedicated follower of publishing gossip) knew that there was a senior "journalist" or editor at the Daily Mail on whom Rita Skeever was obviously and perfectly based, but who would never sue for…

I was disappointed that the film version of Goblet of Fire didn't include Rita Skeeter getting her comeuppance. Seriously one of the best parts of the book.

Whenever we watch The Goblet of Fire my teenager says, "There's mommy, there's mommy!" when Rita Skeeter is on the screen. I used to exclaim "HOW IS THAT ME!" but she is so happy with her comparison I cannot even bother anymore. I don't see it. But everyone gets a great laugh.

But then Gawker editors would lose a favorite source.

Here is the Know-Your-Meme article on this copypasta:

Try thinking, and visually picturing things as wild as you can when you are around Asians, and look for Asians who give people dirty/particular looks for what appears to be for completely no reason, it works if you try enough!!!

I couldn't finish reading your quoted comment because I'm laughing too hard. I'm drinking coffee, I have to be careful.

Can they read each others' minds though? Is this why the Japanese are so quiet on their subways?

Now you've don it! Everyone will know what "ancient Chinese secret" really means.

No good! It's probably made in China. They're on to him.

I bet that person goes through a lot of tinfoil.

I hope that is the case. I would love to see that.

Gurl, don't get me started on the out-of-control sexism in Texas newsrooms. I lived it for years and I am so over it. You hit the nail on the head right here. Lemme find a good this gif for ya.

The 9/11 comment is a quote of Immortal Technique's song "Bin Laden", which I think in turn is sampling another song.
