Nick Denton — Wed, 07 May 2008 17:47:39 EDT

@BlatherU: Because his rants for the Huffington Post were kind of awesome. I didn't try *that* hard. Oh, and not resentful that he turned me down: I merely saw an opportunity to publish that delicious Perrine media key party story that I'd been sitting on for a while.

"Any of you know what he pulled to get fired from Men's Health?"

He was too wild and unpredictable for the weenies who run the company. They fired him for some bogus reason (a story on political correctness ) but the truth is they were scared of him and much more comfortable with an ass-kissing empty suit like Zinzenko

The frat-boy schtick is more common than you'd think. In the past month, I've spent time with a Maxim editor, a magazine owner, and a TV producer, all of whom had that meatheaded boobs-and-beer aesthetic.

That said, I wouldn't recommend bringing any of them onto your staff, unless you're looking to run more posts on how to get free blow jobs from strippers.

Leaving off the state school obnoxiousness (really, graduating is about...leaving), let's just say that if the rough and tumble of the media world leaves you suck Roger Ailes's rancid cock at 3 am, you've failed. Whatever it is you originally set out to do, you failed.

He looks more like Jerry Mathers these days:

If I were to make fun of Greg, and I don't really want to, but if I WERE to, it would be because he appears to be sort of one chromosome shy of Marky Mark circa 1993. Feel THOSE vibrations, Gregors.
