While everyone else is busy talking about how the American Letterpress Picayune Company Incorporated recently purchased Arachne Huffinpuffington XLV's community newsletter, I would just like to note, because I know at least one of Nick Denton's manlove boyslaves reads this blog, that the Gawker media empire site redesign sucks my balls, and I do not mean that it opens its pretty young mouth and takes my balls gently, one at a time, into the warm embrace of its moist affection, its vulnerable eyes, now brown, now almost green in the soft winter light peering up from time to time across the low, flat plane of my stomach and the subtle rise of my chest to meet my own dark eyes and, glancing in them a tender submission that is the truest, if most brief, if most carnal and therefore most fleeting, form of affection, to take my thighs and guide them higher, to move from there toward a deeper and harder co-mingling of desire and disgust, an act of defiant preparation, a defiling . . . ahem, uh. Yeah. What was I saying? Oh, yeah, um, the Gawker redesign sucks my balls like navigating the WaPo site sucks my balls. It is that horrible. If David Cronenberg got ahold of Katherine Graham's corpse and reanimated it in some satanic scifi ritual, the new Gawker sites would be her brood.

It'll suck your cock for 315 million dollars.
I kinda got lost here....David Cronenberg is sucking Katherine Graham's balls? Do what?
LOL
So the steaming shitpile now has kind of a more peanutty flavor, is that what you're saying?
It looks like muskrat love.
I have never felt the need to graze for any length at Chez Denton. If I want snarky, know-nothing knowingness, I can just ride the G or the L.
A little surprised that the site is actually completely non-functional with javascript turned off. I had turned it off to read from BLDGRD, which is completely non-functional with javascript on.
I reckon the Gawker site, which is organized around the principal that page reloads are evil is the future of the web. I am surprised how few sites use navigation of this kind.
As a friend pointed out: if you need to post a video indicating how your site redesign works, your site redesign didn't work.
I did not notice the Gawker redesign, as I do not frequent the joint(s).
I'm glad Wonkette escaped their evil clutches.

Wonkette takes all the worst features of Gawker, none of the good, and the multiplies them by a hundred. Talk about snarky knowingness and from such conformist tools.
god i hate that fucking site.
Fleshbot, my dutiful research suggests, is similarly unaffected.
The only gawker I read is io9, and that usually with a sense that I could be doing something hugely more pleasant with my time, so I actually welcome the redesign (which is perhaps more awful than monsieur says).
Let it henceforth be known that when a boy is "had at hello", goodbye can't be far behind.

If that were true there would be a scary vag-like orifice somewhere in the interface, or alternatively, a scary vag-lke orifice would materialize in the site visitor, to which the Gawker site would attach itself via a penis-like object.
As it is, there's just a big load of javascript and it's not bad once you get used to it. I actually found myself reading more on the site than I normally do.
Gaper.
"the low, flat plane of my stomach"
Dontcha just hate it when they preen like that about working out conscientiously?
"ahem, uh. Yeah"
I was just about to get my rocks off and then you interrupted the story.
Asshole.
all your homoeroticism has obscured the marvelous opening line regarding media consolidation :)
Homoeroticism ?
And here I thought I was reading Zoz for his homonoeticism (i.e. gay sensibility ...)
