He's too stupid to have used the term correctly in the first place..I'm sure he has no idea how to use it racially. Anyway, white pot calling the black kettle white.

'To punctiliouspig, regarding the statement "Also the reason why people of color communities hate gays even when they're gay themselves" That is the most asinine statement I have ever read, not to mention, not true. It is a damn shame that gays across the board can not pull together, communicate, hear each other out within the community, but when reading comments like this about something so trivial as music, you realize that the gay "community" has deeper issues than why they won't listen to Black Music.'

To creativetype: Your statement after denying it points out that it is true so I have no idea what you're talking about. The gay community is severely segregated and myself and tons of other POC gays know firsthand how hard it is to be heard within the lgbt minority community..which is primarily seen as white publicly (Ellen, Queer Eye, L-Word, Queer As Folk, Project Runway, Will & Grace, etc) and within non-profit organizations. And my point was exactly what you said..there are deeper issues than musical choice..ones that might explain the music. As people have pointed out..hating 'Hip-Hop' by generalizing it as 'hateful' and 'black music' is evidence of the amazing amount of ignorance at play here. Do you have any sort of experience or 'proof' that would back up what you're saying (I'm not sure what you're saying though)?

I think they confused 'fey' with 'gay' when they considered The Smiths.
Also, WHITNEY HOUSTON songs get almost as many immediate hard-ons as Madonna tracks. Ridiculous.

PS. The answer is: Almost everyone who works for OUT or any LGBT organization is white..that is why. Also the reason why people of color communities hate gays even when they're gay themselves. Gays are incredibly exclusive and prejudiced within their already prejudiced against community.

She was unusually quick to take out the misogyny card when it had nothing to do with his comments. A slight reveal of why they think she was a great choice.

Also, I'll vote for the candidate that can get YouTube off its lazy ass and create a video player that doesn't make me feel like I'm going blind.

Went to UW-Madison. Know plenty of people who were arrested for just holding a cup on the sidewalk and thrown into the drunk tank. Good times. And while I was there it never got out of control..just a bunch of frat boys, gays, athletes, nerds and hippies coming together. The cops also posed to for pictures regularly.

@Nidawi. No just her, because she was more than just a wife in this matter..she was very involved with politics and remedying our health care system and working to get back our country back from the retarded...obviously the kids have nothing to do with it.

The reason I won't be watching the convention. I was nervous just watching Michelle up there with her kids.

Well of course she's part of a cover-up. How much responsibility you lay on her is your own personal decision but can you imagine what would have happened if he got the nomination? WE'D BE FUCKED. We dodged a huge bullet with this one and Mrs. Edwards was one of the few people that knew it was in fact a bullet behind the handsome face and expensive haircut. Holding a grudge against her is probably a dumb idea but there's no way you can claim she didn't know what his cheating would mean outside her private life. Sexual affairs are private yes..but it's not that simple in an election and no amount of cancer can make you that dumb. I wish her all the luck in her pursuit of happiness but I hope I never hear from them again.

I think Harvard and Yale are THE WORST when it comes to their ego/character/connections/grade inflation. The students there are most likely already born a few steps ahead of everyone else and once they get to college level they can be untouchable. The list is humorous but I hold a personal vendetta against the way things are run by our 'finest institutions'..churning out the same year after year, making it harder and harder for intelligent people from elsewhere to get into the academic world, to be heard and to change things among a plethora of spoiled soft-brained elitists. I hate academia. And I think the 100,000+ I spent on my degree will be the biggest waste of my life..and I use TONS of toilet paper.

Also, 'Christian stand-up comedian'. Wow..what??

'untried, untested man, whose main friends and colleagues seem to have a history of evil and hate'

We have a ton of problems to fix and I hear so much about how Obama isn't experienced enough for it all..so who the hell is? Who's been battling with Putin all this time and who's been straining themselves to fix the economy or going places to find ways to create jobs we no longer have? Bullshit on the 'inexperienced' critics..I'm an inexperienced 25 year-old and I know for sure I could have made better decisions in the White House than Bush did. Obama's lack of experience making laws or voting on measures or reading to children or visiting the elderly doesn't make him unqualified for acts of diplomacy or choosing people to help him on the way towards a better country. What specific experience are people calling for exactly? In the history of our political stage, experience hasn't proven to be the factor for a President. In case you haven't noticed, it isn't that simple.

And who are these axis of evil friends?

Besides that..it was pretty sentimental but it was very nice to have a potential First Lady speak as someone who does something despite coming from little. We have had Laura who does....? And we had Hillary who is incredibly smart and successful but whose life hasn't even come close to anything like Michelle's Public Allies experience. We could have someone residing in the White House who spent/spends a great deal of her life working for community building non-profits. That's just an amazing and, unfortunately, alien image.

still going to say..phelps would be the ugliest athlete ever if it weren't for rodman.

3 parts vodka, 1 part tomato juice right daddy?

I live in my parent's basement and even I don't think Obama's house is a castle, let alone a mansion. And yeah, not knowing how many properties you own offhand MEANS YOU SHOULD NOT BE LEADING THIS RECESSED AND UNEMPLOYED COUNTRY. Unless of course you use your power to get us all rich heiresses to cheat with and then marry.

The ultimate butterface..it's really hard for photographers to find a good angle.

Arguing with referees in tennis is extremely common and if a replay showed that his opponent's racket hit the ball, he for sure was a bad sportsman because you feel everything your racket hits. Also, it wasn't Cavic's coaches who contested either..besides any country would contest that result. And everything surrounding the gymnast competition is incredibly dubious.

Phelps is fairly ugly from the neck up..not sure about the tail.

To be fair to her though..she is competing with girls half her age and weight. I completely flip out around babies too.

The look on Shiloh's face is so sad..she has no idea just how much more irrelevant she's gotten with the new additions.

Funny, I was discussing that office freak-out video with people when it first came out and just today learned it was for 'Wanted'. I still have no idea how it they'd expect the public to relate it to a movie about spinning a bullet.

Is there a valid reason why his face is blurred if it's an actual photo? It just looks like a white guy run through the Photoshop watercolor filter.

I simply cannot believe the strange appearance of The Shawshank Redemption on any top list besides the top 2 movies featuring Morgan Freeman's soothing voice.

haha..I've never heard anyone ever call Batman sexy except in the first one (Bale) when he actually shows his body often. The superhero costume with an exposed mouth (even WITH nipples) was never sexy.

@Karen. The car takes a severe beating..more than you could ever dream of.

Wow, well my bookmarks are incredibly incestuous now. Ahh, journalism..such a large pool of voices.

Thing is plenty of students get straight A's in high school because high school is not that hard if you want to do well..which many don't because it's boring. Also, there are tons of overachieving perfect 1600 on the SAT kids around. Truth is his straight A's probably wouldn't have gotten him into the UC-system..he'd need some recommendations, etc. I don't have a problem letting lack-luster students in prestigious schools when they're not a famous person's child..I doubt the majority of them would fail out. And screw the teachers that ratted him out if they knew he'd be up against many years in jail for wanting to screw with the ass-backwards system of admissions.

Everything about this sounds wretched and boring at the same time except the last chapter.

It's also disgusting that he's STILL seen hanging out around Chicago schools for young groupies.

Wow. To imply that she is actually doing Britney good is also assuming that the readers are morons. She tells her employees to compliment her and that's supposed to make the company good and everyone else bad? I love how she distinguishes her company as a photography agency while labeling others paparazzi. You can't have a company go mainstream off sleazy acts and then give an interview like this.

My #1 problem with Gawker Media is how much (even though little) the bloggers get paid for posting pictures or links or things sent in by readers without compensating their readers ever. In addition to that, the bloggers can write well but rarely add anything worth the clicks because they need to put out as many posts as possible to pay rent (and I'm not going to pretend to believe they don't live well)..it's the readers that add the most entertainment and commentary. So once in a while the Denton machine pays for a source that makes the company tons more..this is not the problem with journalistic 'ethics'..the problem is 'journalists' feel like their getting information from people actually making news is their work alone. It's unethical to pay someone for their insight, words, experience once it proves to be credible? The whole structure of the journalism business falls short of being ethical in the first place.

Of course there are Gawker sites that do more than copy pasting, picture posting, etc...Consumerist: helping people not get screwed by businesses, posting recalls, giving financial advice. Lifehacker: Trapani actually writes codes for readers to get the most out of Firefox, software tips, endlessly making your life better. Wonkette: hardcore political reporting. Fleshbot: hardcore porn, endlessly making your life better.

The bottom line is someone small always gets screwed so you can make money off simple news and when it's not news, it's Slut Machine posting clips of the Golden Girls because her readers will flock to it to scream about how much they love Bea Arthur..ensuring she'll at least get a nice lunch out of it. Will Bea Arthur be compensated? Or the person who first posted the clip on YouTube? And why are the clips posted via Gawker's mysteriously simplistic video player and not the embedding of the YouTube clip? There's something wrong over there but it's not the rare compensation to sources..it's that these people call themselves bloggers, even journalists, and live with themselves every day.
