    Gawker should create linkage between Gawker and Manhunt so all the fine fellows on Manhunt can surf Gawker and Manhunt at the same time.

    Kind of like the Facebook link to Gawker except people will actually use it.

    I'm getting far fewer methy haiku. Sad.

    @scottthesot: That would be pithy! Methy is more like:

    "u look so similar to me but really
    like my ypunger bro—-u r so hot…pnp? any pig?"*

    You're missing two apostrophes in your first paragraph: "As for the site's new redesign, Manhunt's CEO..."

    I can't help it, I was raised in a wayward home ruled by strict grammarians.

    Wait, Momo was . . . wrong? On what can one depend in this world today?

    @Nice Beaver: Through careful wording, nothing I said was wrong, but that's why you use words like "apparently" and "might". My report was based on appearances, and my math added two and two and got twenty-two.

    My only weak defense is that my request for information on the subject wasn't granted. I emailed the publicist on 8/5 and held the item as a inkling/draft for 8 days. Did I follow up? No. I work just under 60 hours a week and have a reputation as a homothario that must be maintained which takes time.

    Discussing the matter with friends, we all had the same impression, so I ran with it. The payoff is that I'm embarrassed and feel badly for feeding a misleading story to Gawker. I genuinely regret the error.

    @momo: Oh, dear me. My comment was supposed to be taken as an homage to the joy your reporting (Past Over) has brought me over the years.
