What, Was UnscrupulousDipshit.com Taken?
Not that I needed any convincing that there exists not one shred of integrity or even lip service to the notion of journalistic standards at Nick Denton’s cesspool of a media stable, BUT: here’s yet another reason to stop reading anything published at a Gawker site. The last thing any of us needed was a shit-stain like you giving the C. O’D. license to play the Female Victim Card. Way to go. What do you do for an encore, invade Yugoslavia during a backflip while sticking your cock in the neighbor’s dog? Because I think that may have been a move with less chance of backfiring.
Flip the script and you’re talking about The Clenis over ten years ago, or Gary Hart ten years before that. Tittering about alleged peccadilloes was wrong then, it’s still wrong now, no matter what her platform is or how she goes about talking about “the naughty” while on the stump. If she’s not doing anything illegal, you have no business peeking in her bedroom. Even if you feel she’s trying to peek into yours. If you think you’re informing anyone that politicians don’t always advocate their own behavior, you really need a different fucking job. This move was pure politics of personal destruction, and just because the target isn’t a Democrat doesn’t make that set of tactics right, asshole.
You see, you don’t use the tactics of your enemy that you find abhorrent. That’s not “turnabout is fair play”, no matter how much you beg it to be. That’s called “using ends to justify means”. You aren’t exposing anyone’s lack of character but your own.

What the Fuck Did You Expect, Dipshits?
This is what happens when you trust your clever bullshit to the Libyan government. All you internet geniuses should have known better and seen this coming. Your whole “let’s one up tinyurl.com for no fucking good reason” cuteness has been under Sharia Law since you started.
Anyone else starting to see a parallel between “Newspeak” and “140 characters max”? It appears that Twitter, as the major force in making bit.ly what it is today, might actually be, in a word, EVIL. Or at least an adversary of real communication, the most positive evidence of humanity’s continued cognition and cogitation.
Score one for totalitarianism, with a major assist from the internet. Not exactly the “route around the problem” profile we were all sold on, is it?

Inverse Barometers Of Disproportionate Guage
Continuing on the intermittent vein of negative critique’s often overlooked utility at achieving useful filters, sometimes a society might be better served in the task of measuring progress towards ubiquitous liberty by looking at things left behind.
For those who hate following links at the end of single-sentence paragraphs, a representative selection:
Now I know why I lament carpet in apartments: it’s my penis.

A Hundred Underlined Fragments
Without further comment:
And so we ask the Internet to keep interrupting us in ever more varied ways. We willingly accept the loss of concentration and focus, the fragmentation of our attention, and the thinning of our thoughts in return for the wealth of compelling, or at least diverting, information we receive. We rarely stop to think that it might actually make more sense just to tune it all out.
