This is sad news.

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?!

And this news should make me care why exactly?

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.

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.

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

This is sad news.

So, here's the kicker.

Gawker did come back, only to then shut down again.

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