Jakob and Julia from Loren Feldman on Vimeo.
Look, I don't care if you don't care about Vimeo founder and recent firee Jakob Lodwick or his girlfriend, Star Editor at Large Julia Allison. This is funny, and for now it's my job to let you know about stuff like this. Okay? Sooooorry.

Of all days to not bring my headphones to work! Even with the sound off, it looks really funny.
I'm sorry, Emily.
Oh my hell, that is awesome.
Between this and the cover of the current NY Press, I don't think Julia's having such a good week.
I can't wait for the Patrick Moberg lookalike!
Best Jakob & Julia post ever.
So Loren Feldman is, what? Jakob's old nanny? A friend of the Allison family? An enterprising hooker Jakob met some years ago who is now willing to play in his little game?
Oh, wait. No. That last one is Julia.
yes, this was funny and worth pointing out.
That video camera looks into the future!
You're going to miss this. Admit it you will. OK don't admit it. But you will; even if you don't know you are you will.
That really is them, right?
Wait.
Emily, I don't think you should quit. I think you should step out of the spotlight and into the role of invisible, behind-the-scenes managing editor, and make the new Gawker into something incredible. Don't post anymore, insist on a balance between things that may make a horizontal splash (page views) and things that have vertical importance (not just on the day of posting, but on and on); assign follow-ups; do a tone check on every post; point out the contradictions as always but also who profits and suffers because of them...
This is gonna be a crazy two weeks notice. I feel the anarchy already. Emily's brazen unapologeticness is the beginning of the slippery slope towards Chthulu.
It doesn't matter who they are. What matters is the context. The fact that the tools with which to make a rampaging asshole of yourself exist doesn't mandate that you use them. This is reverse evolution. Worse, they're not even attractive people. On the other hand, they're making Britney Spears look better by the minute.
The dog was really a nice touch.
btw, Emily, where is your content?
the dog makes the video.
Nice elephant.
Yes, that was funny. And I totally thought that woman was wearing a Julia Allison mask at first.
Better than the real thing, that's for damn sure.
It says: To watch this video, You need Flash 9.
Don't we all? Hmm. Don't we all?
"Jacob, that's my ass" should be the title of her blog.
Who knew it was possible to feel virtual office tension?
Although she should spell his name right.
Thank you, Emily !
Jakob spelled with a K = DOUCHE
@CodePink: I think you can get it here: [www.buycostumes.com]
Brilliant.
@Cesare_the_Somnambulist: Thank you. That doesn't help. But at least I have an oufit for Friday.
@The One: She can't form a linear sentence in that interview. Hilarious and yet not at all different from what I expected.
Stop calling these people celebrities.
Ha. The funniest part about this post is the "Sooooorry" because Emily = so not sorry about continuing to publicize these boring dorks.
How has One Night in Julia not been released yet? I mean, self promotion and streaming video inevitably result in porn.
Hang in there Em! Im sure your journalistic integrity can survive two more weeks of having no choice at all (I mean, like, none?) but to post this pulp. Courage!
@CodePink: And now I have a fantasy for Friday night!
Damn, what a giveaway.
Why do I get the feeling that Emily's last day is going to be all Julia Allison posts, as kind of a big Eff You to all the haters? And I am totally encouraging that, by the way.
Lovers, in a dangerous tiiiiiime
@Cesare_the_Somnambulist: And so do I!
No one's job should be to let anyone know about this stuff out at any time ever.
OSHA should get involved.
@JojoSaysNo: '...know about this stuff out...'
I am full of typos today. Fuck!
@CodePink: And nutmeg makes 3.
Love 1938 Media's stuff. Glad to see Gawker finally noticed.
@PimpMyCouch: See, the problem isn't that Julia Allison is getting coverage. The problem is that the coverage is forced, and that fact is obvious because the acting is terrible. Emily hates Julia the way Keanu Reeves plays FBI agents. On any day of the week I can't figure out whether the two are friends, frenemies, or co-workers. And pretending that Emily is the unbiased journalist and Julia Allison is the untainted subject is completely fucking insane. They're in pictures together on Facebook.
If the site editors let stories about Julia Allison grow organically, I'm sure they would be much more entertaining. Because she IS entertaining. But remember, they're all like traffic cops around here, they have to write a minimum number of tickets whether you like it or not.
The discussion of how these things came to be is far more interesting than the material itself, IMHO.
I think this video just stole my soul and PROFESSIONALLY shit on it.
I need someone to remake this video with the two mutts from Lady and the Tramp. Julia's dog wll be played by this LOLcat:
Dear Emily: Going to miss you. I especially loved your eyerolling at Jimmy Kimmel. No, really. You were funny and he was mean.
@whokilledallthemandelas: I just cannot embed pictures. Here we go: [icanhascheezburger.com]
@BrianVan: Oh, I wasn't trying to be snarky about it - I just thought about the days of yore, when every time there was a JA post, half the comments were "OMG I hate her stop this" bla bla bla. I know that they have a minimum post quota, and JA is always out there so it's easy this way.
OMG I DIDN'T KNOW JULIA ALLISON WAS FROM STATEN ISLAND!! (pardon the caps/excitement) This explains it ALL!
@BrianVan: You are so right. Emily wrote me up for Aggravated Stalking and Dreaming On just to meet her quota and I had to go to Night Court to straighten it out.
Julia Allison's a girl?
@Wrath of Farrakhan:
Well, there's no city or country named Julia, so it doesn't work in the same vein as "One Night In Paris" and "One Night In Chyna".
Might I propose: "Mount Allison"
Apology accepted
@BrianVan: I disagree on some points. For example, I don't think Julia Allison could ever grow into something genuinely interesting -- the only thing interesting about JA is Gawker's obsession with JA, and to that end I tolerate both her and the stories about her. The tongue is always somewhere in the cheek, and although she is neither offensive nor exciting enough to warrant half the reactions she stirs up, she's a harmless way to burn off a few extra posts.
Don't get me wrong -- I hated all the JA stuff at first, but I've come to see her as being Gawker's Scrappy-Doo; like it or not, she's part of the show.
Is that her? She looks old
