This is sad news.

[The Deadman]

Sad news how? They released a sex tape that they werent supposed to. They've tried to ruin people's careers in certain fields by revealing personal information for their own gain. Good riddance to a trash website. Hopefully they'll still be able to pay The Hulkster all the money they owe him.

This. How the hell did they manage to dig up a Hulk Hogan phone call that was nearly a decade old?!

[TurtleTitan97]

And this news should make me care why exactly?

[plastroncafe]

I don't have a whole lot of love for Gawker, but dang...if this isn't a dangerous precedent.

Wow, first I learn Steve Lavgine will be doing a con in my area, then I get a commission inquiry, & now this? What a great way to start the day. :)

[turtle1237]

Sad to say we may be happy with Gawker shutting down, We all know sooner or later, other Gawker will pop up sadly.

It almost or did wreck the Hulkster.

[Jester]

and nothing of value was lost....

[XERO]

The f*ck is Gawker?

[Prowler]

The f*ck is Gawker?
One of the few people to go over Hulk Hogan.

[Powder]

The f*ck is Gawker?

An invasive, hypocritical, propaganda machine.

[GoldMutant]

Considering the damage these guys have done, good riddance.

[TheCanadiandrome]

and nothing of value was lost....

Rofl true dat

[blindturtle02]

I only clicked on this because I had no idea what gawker was. Looks like a whole lot of nothing. Huh. I'm gonna go get a Rice Krispies treat.

[thundermaster612]

I'm gawking at the fact that it took this long to shut it down

Ha, nice one.

Looks like Hulk Hogan's going after Jezebel.

"Women Sexually Victimized By Wealthy Man Now Have Honor Of Being Victimized Again By Same Wealthy Man."
You what, brother?

[ProactiveMan]

Hulk Hogan's lawyer is going after Jezebel; I don't think Hulk Hogan has anything to do with it. I don't think he'll win this one either.

The guy he's representing sounds like a huge POS.

[Papenbrook]

I don't have a whole lot of love for Gawker, but dang...if this isn't a dangerous precedent.

It is, as Gawker's contemporaries are now in danger of being shut down. (https://theoutline.com/post/8162/deadspin-new-owners-very-bad)

… And, now Jezebel's shutting down. (https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/jezebel-shutting-down-go-media-layoffs-1235785877/)

Dang.

[XERO]

The f*ck is Jezebel?

[The Deadman]

The f*ck is Jezebel?

A site that attacked white and straight people, for the most part.

[TheCanadiandrome]

A site that attacked white and straight people, for the most part.
So again nothing of real value in terms of online content lost then?

[Sumac]

… And, now Jezebel's shutting down. (https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/jezebel-shutting-down-go-media-layoffs-1235785877/)

Dang.
Finally, **** has been flushed to the toilet.

This site was notorious for being SJW trashpile, so nothing of value was indeed lost...

[Andrew NDB]

Laura Bassett quit as Jezebel’s editor-in-chief in August 2023, writing in a post on X/Twitter, “I have reluctantly resigned from Jezebel, because the company that owned us refused to treat my staff with basic human decency.” On Thursday, Bassett said in a post on X, “I’m obviously boiling and have too much to say on this subject. But for now I’ll just say my heart is with the entire Jez staff who just got laid off, including incredible abortion reporters at a time when the beat couldn’t be more relevant to national politics. Please hire them.”

What?

[Mayhem]

Which part is "what?" in relation to? Abortion is back on the news table after two states voted to affirm it can't be banned in their state.

This is sad news.


So, here's the kicker.

Gawker did come back, only to then shut down again. (https://variety.com/2023/digital/news/gawker-shutting-down-1235509262/)

[Sumac]

And they say **** doesn't drown.
Guess, it does, even if not on the first swim.
