Hmmm. Is that a tongueI see in Gawker's cheek, or do they honestly not know that Jenny Lawson is one of the funniest, most gifted writers in the blogosphere? The yawning gap between Jenny the Bloggess and actualy psychopaths on Twitter (oh yeah -- we got 'em) is just about as big as Gawker's lack of awareness of top humor bloggers/sense of humor.
I'm actually a little honored to be called a psycho by Gawker. I usually get "harmless lunatic". "Psycho" sounds much more dangerous and kind of respectable.
You made my whole day and now I feel way less stabby about William Shatner who is trying to destroy me.
Do you know what the definition of a psycho is? For an actual psychopath try more along the lines of Dick Cheney. A person who lacks genuine human emotion. One who has no empathy or conscience. Devoid of any recognizable moral or ethical standard. No that was not a joke. Though what is fairly obvious those posts were clearly coming from someone most likely actually making a joke. If not, they are at worst garden variety eccentric crazy. A psycho is a very different beast indeed. One that in fact people on a whole, really, really need to start paying attention to. As they apparently infest many positions of actual power in this country and world. I know you were trying for clever. You missed.
Jenny Lawson is one of the funniest people on teh Internets, seriously. Only "mommy blogger" I'd ever read, that's for sure. You all should give her a column here.
She's hilarious, and on crazy pills. Imagine, someone this crazy is actually on the low end of her crazy spectrum! her name is Jenny, her blog is hilarious and she once watched and listened to a "porn for the blind" website for a sex column. It was disturbingly funny!
@bayktdin: Um, please provide us with the footage of a news producer stalking Bristol Palin then following her hundreds of miles on vacation in order to confront her about something controversial she'd written on a conservative blog.
@Mediahohoho: Stalking a child online, child by Gawker's definition, and putting them on blast because her mom is a giant cunt is fine? Bristol Palin involuntarily gave up her right to privacy, Terkel didn't. If Terkel is the warrior she claims to be she will stop whining.
Whats that saying always floating around on these pages... fair game?
This Terkel post is the kool-aid people are talking about, don't chug it cause its free.
@bayktdin: If you don't like Gawker you are free to not come here, and even if you do come here, no one will charge you for it. As for the Fox News, that's a completely different game. This is why any attempt to treat and criticize Gawker and Fox News in the same manner is dishonest from the start. Ok, they are the same crap. Now take Fox News off of my damn cable!
@bayktdin: Well, this is my point: you're comparing apples to elephants. This is a post about a New York Times story about Fox News producers physically stalking, confronting and intimidating journalists and opinionators for writing stories and expressing opinions they don't agree with.
You're comparing it to Gawker reporting on a dude who obsessively went into and analyzed (cyber stalked, since you want to be dramatic) the public web page of a political candidate's family values prop/kid.
@bayktdin: heh. have you met my irrational, crazy mother? because you seem to have picked up her debating style with your ability to relate two totally fucking unrelated things.
"reading about someone's life is exactly the same as following them with a camera for hours and accosting them when they're alone."
@Pope John Peeps II: It is the same to me. In fact, it's the same as murders in Mumbai or starvation in Darfur. It's all just text and pictures on my screen!

There's no similarity.
