But where will dozens of people get their free sex advice from now?

Quickie.

"The Sanitary Properties of Urine". Totally my favorite unpublished Italo Calvino short story.

Is this the same post that is cross-posted four posts below this post?

@Ha Ha Sound: Classic.

Wow. I thought the NY Press had its shit more together than this.

(Just kidding.)

God! why can't that useless paper die already?

Her hit my brother, my lover and myself pretty hard. We were both bummed.

I totally applied for that job and I hadn't planned to plaigarize or anything.

@Nic Fit: Not bad, my friend. Not bad at all.

It's apparently just a breach of journalism ethics, but no other kind of ethics.

@TheHonJudgeSmails2: Does this mean I can be a Gawker intern?

I totally applied for that job and had not planned on, let's say, "borrowing" ideas from anyone else or any other such thing.

Well, that's not very good, giving and game of the Press.

@fiveinchtaint: nah-she resigned because of the post cross-posted four posts below this post.

@Nic Fit: Awesome.

@Nic Fit: Anyone can. It's entirely unpaid.

@maggie: Ah. I see. Very subtle if you only pay attention to the picture and don't read any supporting text whatsoever. Thanks!

Next she'll admit that "Rude Awakening" was really "Absolutely Fabulous" plus "The John Larroquette Show."

If New York Press's editor issues a statement, does it make the same sound as a tree falling in the forest when no one's around?

I still wish I could see the original column so I could find out if she plagarized the piss question from me.

This story's weird, because one day after her first column hit the streets, the New York Press has accepted the resignation of its sex columnist, after Jezebel pointed out similarities between Claudia Lonow's column and the work of Village Voice Media sex columnist Dan Savage. Lonow was "unaware that using questions from Savage's column was a breach of journalism ethics," reads the statement from editor David Blum.

It's wrong to take credit for someone else's work? Boy, do I owe John Wayne Gacy a huge apology.

They'll find a replacement. I hear Jessica Seinfeld is looking for a new writing gig!

@lolcait: haha i did that wacky gag 1st

@Colonel Mustard: They've already filled the position. She's a young gal named Kavya...I see her going places.

@mrx5000: I plagiarized you plagiarizing! [head explodes]

@Ha Ha Sound: Right after T-Zero

Oh, thank God. For a second, I thought that link was going to take me to Jezebel's comment thread.

@Nic Fit: I have such a crush on you.
@collegecallgirl: I have such a crush on you. (and that sucks - you should totally have that job! apply again! have some casserole! want us to bombard them with emails until they give you the gig?)

@Ha Ha Sound: Is that the one where the nobleman lives out his entire life going from toilet to toilet?

I wonder who they'll get to star in the movie?

Who are the faming assholes now?!

@Sarcastro: Clown paintings or the actual murders?

@the supergoddess: Didn't you hear? Nobody listens to Gawker commenters. Although I'm sure you get a lot more blank, starry-eyed "Sorry, what were you saying?"s than most.

I made a rare exception and actually read this Jezebel column - and, boy, am I ever glad. As always, it's just so darn good:

"And yet it is shit like this that is why they are so fucking irreversibly irrelevant."

Moe should try plagiarizing more…

And Nick Denton should apologize to all of us for this error in judgment.

Please, Nina Totenberg ripped off the Washington Post way back in the day when she worked for the National Observer and she is totally still gettin' paid. The true horror here is that Claudia Lonow couldn't find a better periodical to bite off of. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering that the NYPress has based its entire career off of ripping off the Voice.

PS - Does anybody actually read any of the "free weekly" papers anymore?

@the supergoddess: I can see my time wasting at work is finally paying off...xo

@BitchSetMeUp: Swearing means she's edgy!
w000t feminism! Yeah! I mean, fuck yeah!

@BitchSetMeUp: Jezebel reads like a women-only dorm room conversation at a college for the retarded.

@BitchSetMeUp: What do you have against Jezebel?

@IndianSlipper: Um, the paintings. Yep, the paintings.

I do read them, because I'm terrified of getting on trains with nothing to read.

How could she not know this was a breach? Does she also not know that food on other people's tables at restaurants isn't hers?

I just love that they only noticed after it hit the street.

Hey, what does Tom Cruise fucking his wife have in common with Australia's favorite food? They're both shrimp on the barbie!

Oh, I got a million of 'em, folks ...

I just wonder why Claudia Lonow perpetrated this journalistic crime.

There's only one way to find out: handwriting analysis.

@drunkexpatwriter: Not much - just its content. And quality.

@drunkexpatwriter: Just being servicey:

Pee-plexed
Yo, Lonow,
My husband told me that urine is sterile and that's why it was safe to pee in his mouth. Since then I've realized a lot of things he told me were wrong. So I'm wondering, is urine really sterile?

Hey, it's his mouth. What do you care if it's sterile? Pee away!

(it was still cached)

So I guess she was really in and out, huh?
