    In reply to Class Action Suit in the Works for Victims of Social Gaming Scams
    Another sight of the bullshit that is "social gaming"

    You won't believe how much people gets hooked to this shit. And it's even weirder because these are all casual gamers that would pass on the chance of playing games like Sonic or Halo, which look complex but are really simple gameplay-wise. Yet they go and play games like mafia wars which involves lots of strategy (believe it or not) and can take you a long fucking time to get anywhere.

    Anyway, I hope these assholes (the people behind the games) get what they deserve: they arent gamers, or game devs, just merely scammers: mafia wars is a rough copy of dope wars, a real game made in......wait for it.......1992! #zynga

    This is one reason why I sort of don't blame some of the people who were duped: isn't it perfectly obvious that sooner or later this kind of crap is going to bite you in the ass? Forget how dumb you have to be to give your cell # to an IQ test -- how stupid do you have to be to rob people in plain sight in easily traceable ways and think you can get away with it indefinitely? Or to openly associate yourself with such people? I can see people thinking, "Well, this is probably legit, because how easy would it be to nab these people if it weren't?"

    @bens: Are you saying that the robbers are ultimately as dumb as or dumber than the robbees? Because I'd tend to agree with you. If they'd pulled this as a quick scam and gotten out before they got too much stink on them, I'd have to give them credit for being slick, if sleazy. By sticking with it for this long, I think they've outsmarted themselves pretty badly. #zynga

    @MissNormaDesmond: In this instance, yes. If you're going to be a robber, having an advertising contract with Facebook isn't a good idea. Become an art thief. It saves you from having to pay developers to code crappy games. #zynga

    Today's Gawker take on the Post:

    1) It's full of racist sexists (Guzman sues)
    2) It's dying! (reaction to the Times report)
    3) Awesome story about the big spending Malaysian club guy.

    Summary: Death to the Post -- God save the Post. #newyorkpost

    @Joe Mitchell's Secret: Actually, being a Hispanic woman is the reason she had to put up with this shit in the first place. I can see how a person could find it hard to believe that Ms. Guzman is telling the truth, what with all that journalistic integrity and ethical practices the Post has always been known for

    As a white, male American, I am simply appalled and offended by the amount of reverse racism and reverse sexism shown by Miss Guzman and her alleged Complaint.

    These quibbles show insensitivity to my worldview that as a white man in America, I can do or say whatever I like to whomever I like with no consequences whatsoever. Moreover, I'm sure that there is a study from a think tank somewhere that shows a majority of Americans agree with me.

    Now if you don't mind, I have some pictures of penises I need to have circulated to the "womyn" in this office to show them what they're missing out on. #newyorkpost

    Wait, giggling frat-boy asshats run our nation's media network? WHAT?!? How can it be so!

    Oh, how broken are my illusions. Next you'll tell me that our financial system is commandeered by over-privileged bastard frat boys who only hire their sons or the best friends of their sons for positions of power and drink sapphire-infused champagne out of the shattered shells of their minor stockholders and bank/loan customers's hopes and dreams.

    What the what the? I'm glad she stuck it out for so long and now has so much ammunition. Sucks to be him - must be horrible to live in his head, filled with so much fear and vitriol; and he's obviously too far gone to wise up now. What a sad sack.

    "depicting Allan as a stupid, giggling frat-boy who likes to show his female employees pictures of naked men for kicks. "

    My college newspaper was ran by fratboys before I took it over.

    Even they where not as crass as to do some of the shit he's accused of. In fact when someone pranked a fellow editor by putting a screen of a guy felating himself as her desktop he was let go for inappropriate behavior.

    We may have stuck Pizza's to the ceiling and had a ruckus last publishing night party with bottles and bottles of liquor snuck into the student center office, but we actually respected our editors and writers. #newyorkpost

    the whole point of the New York Post is to "destroy Barack Obama"
    Well, to be fair- not JUST Barack Obama. Any Democrat, really.
