What if today were Gawker’s last day on earth?

Imagine if you woke up tomorrow and it was gone.
Would your life be different, at all?

Reblog your answer.

I’m making an conscious effort to stop reading Gawker. Gawker is like Flava of Love, The Real Housewives of Orange County New York or Rock of Love or one of those asinine shows you find yourself watching mostly because the people on it are so pathetic and miserable, it makes you feel better about yourself. That is what Gawker has become. What started as funny and witty and sometimes insightful has just become too self indulgent and ultimately pathetic. There is only so long that you can make money by causing misery in others and to be a part of that is something I refuse to continue doing. The fact that I click through to read their ridiculous stuff makes me sick, I refuse to continue to give them page views. (via the awesome mascarah)

You took the words right out of my mouth. Well said. Ever since blowing up the picture of JA’s nipple Gawker is just dead to me. Whether she flashed it intentionally or unintentionally is just irrelevant. I just don’t give a shit and…they do, so I’m done. - claudia

Gawker was only as good as the writers it employed. Those good writers are gone (and on tumblr!) so now I just cruise my dashboard and leave well enough alone.
