Yes, thank you, the answer is in your last sentence. We write different stories for different audiences. Lots of people on Jezebel don't read Gawker and vice versa. (I think we even have data that shows how true that statement is). If we operated under that model of not writing about what another Gawker Media site

I live in Seattle, which is a pretty small big city. The Cafe Racer shooting was a big shock, and I think people here are incredibly grateful to him for having the cohones to stop the shooter, who would surely have wounded or killed more people. I think it's shitty that you guys are going after the people who are

When people ask for privacy, I've always assumed they mean don't show up at their door hounding them for interviews and calling their house and their friends nonstop for info. Publishing pictures that are already available on the internet in no way violates his request. I mean, really.

I love your autocorrect. That made me literally LOL. Method Smoking Homophones will be my new band name.

Like Victorian child corpse pictures.

That's not completely true. It's pretty common for boys to take abstinence pledges and wear purity rings as well. They just get to pledge their purity to God rather than their mothers, because men are the protectors and the head of the household not women argle bargle.

And where are the pictures of sons with their moms? Oh, that's right. Religious people don't give two shits if boys sleep with half the girls in the country, but GOD FORBID a girl sleep with ONE boy before marriage, then her value as a human being takes a nose dive.

I know! If you substitute the animals, this is how I pose for pics with my dad:

This is EXACTLY how I see it too. How on Earth can the mothers of these children not be like 'yeah, wait a sec.... stop.' And if not for their own child, for other children. Like, if I didn't know those men were those girls' fathers, I'd think something extremely illegal was going on here.

YUP. They totally look like child brides. AND I'm super skeeved/annoyed that anyone would ask (what looks like) an 8 year old little girl to "pledge her purity" to her father. FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE. Talk about letting a kid be a kid.

It's not just you. Just thinking of posing with my own dad this way is skeeving me out.

Pretty sure my dad would have refused to participate in something like this even if I had ever asked.

Maybe it's just me, but all I can see are child brides in their wedding portraits. Those poses are super creepy and couple-y. Not how I looked when I posed with my dad at my wedding, or any pictures. Ergh.

As a liberal parenting atheist...

What a badass, with a righteous online handle. I would pay to watch a reenactment.

I guess it's the "get off the treadmill and start living LIFE" sort of thing that accompanies this stuff. Like, have you seen this short animated film "the story of stuff"? The author makes a really great point about the amount of trash we put out as a society but also there's this message of "you work really hard
