    Stasi's lawyer talks about the jury system as if it's a slot machine: "Pull the lever, kiddies -- If you hit the jackpot, great! If you don't... oh well!"

    @MrInBetween: I once had to sit on a jury where a former male stripper/cocaine dealer was suing the local Chic-fil-A for leaving water near the garbage can. He had gotten treatment for a football injury that he received in high school, while he was in jail, but claimed he got it from slipping in their restaurant. It was 3 days out of my life that I'll never get back. Unfortunately, since the plaintiff doesn't actually have to pay a lawyer unless they win, there's no real reason NOT to do it. I mean unless of course you have some dignity or a conscience.

    No one expects a fish market to be a bastion of gentility, but fish hooks in the tuchis? Like, tetnaus, anyone?

    As a pro forma demonstration of my love of good writing and my loathing of irrational thought, I'd be happy to push Bill Kristol down a flight of left-leaning stairs, provided City of Heroes picks up the subsequent tab.

    Why does Linda Stasi think the City of New York should roll out the cash for her simply because she can't watch her step while walking in heels?

    @BeckySharper: Agreed. If you wear heels, learn how to negotiate the world in them, even after a couple glasses of no-doubt wretched chardonnay, Ms. Stasi.

    The prostitutes of Venice managed on their chopines. Otherwise wear flats, Grandma.

    I'd love to see that as a New York Post headline.

    Based on her column, her lameness was a pre-existing condition.

    Also - why are the "ladies" who write for The Post so bitter, angry and misogynistic? And fug?

    Does Murdoch not provide heath insurance? Is suing the City for $2mm their way to get their "public option"?

    SAD. As in "Sick Asian Deviant" (Jiang) and "Sensitive (Not) and Desperate" (Gawker, towards Tong). Appreciate latter acronym actually = SNAD, btw.

    OK, after reading the full complaint, it loses much of its yucks. Especially including the victim's face. I'd imagine Jiang chortling mightily at the heterosexual, married rape victim's face being propagated by a high-profile blog like Gawker. He and SAC's minions would approve, I'd imagine.
    I'll leave untouched the question of if he wasn't a male victim or an Asian one, would the victim's face be featured - Gawker's not prone to sexism or racism (to the contrary), so I think it's a slip-up unworthy of condemnation along these lines. And certainly, that wasn't Ryan Tate's aim.
    Nonetheless, GawkerFolk, respectfully, can you have a quick weekend email conference on this and decide if identifying the victim so graphically is a decision that characterizes what Gawker is about?
    It seems an incongruity to this humble commentator.

    @Trai_Dep:

    I had some of the same misgivings.

    In any event, from the summary (I don't need more details), a horrific case and I sincerely hope the victim prevails.

    This kind of thing, and I mean sexual harassment, not the exact acts described, have been happening to women in the business and academic world since they were first able to fight their way in. Don't blame the victim - he was afraid to complain or quit because he was afraid of the overwhelming power of his boss to blackball him from the profession forever. Now the bugger will end up in jail - yaaayy! I wish that would've happened to my harasser years ago. At least he's dead now and I don't have to fear him anymore.

    There are a lot of jokes here and it's really fucked up. This poor man was terrorized and sexually assaulted. Is it funny because he's Asian? Or is it because he's a man? Because no 'real' man would ever allow himself to be in this position, so Mr. Tong must be a figure of fun. And shame on Gawker for publishing the photo of an assault victim. Hasn't this man been violated enough?
