    Am I the only one who can't read this article very well? The videos and still photos are covering big chunks of the text. Is it Firefox jacking up my reading experience?


    It's a shame, because I love the schadenfreude of reading top-ten-worst lists.

    I suppose the fact that Anderson Cooper continues to not be Donna Brazile's boo means it wasn't a fuckup per se. But still, the whiteness of the silver fox inspired 40,000 t-shirts, and that's worth listiculation if anything is.

    @Daniel Anthony Gilbert: Yeah, while it's easy to bitch at people about confusing homophones, they're really the least offensive way of "butchering" the English language.


    Certainly less offensive than the pathological avoidance of capital letters.

    Let's not forget the media's excitement in accepting at face value this good-hearted conservative white girl's story of a mugging at the hands of an angry dyslexic liberal black man.

    @chazerium: That's a much cleverer way of pointing out a typo that I had thought of.


    Honestly Gawker - countless year end lists and a your/you're mix-up? What are you, an e-mail from some sad sack indie rocker I used to date?
