What's the score for tricking a Gawker writer in to thinking Stephen Hawking is dead? (or was it just a slow news day? )

Is the gossip industry really that big? Isn't it just 4 or 5 magazines, a couple of cable tv channels, and a bunch of free web sites? Maybe 500M a year in revenue in total? There are thousands of companies, let alone industries, that see more than that every year. #michaellohan

@drunkexpatwriter: Jackman's not a closet case, just really camp. If he was a gay, he wouldn't have picked an older, non-famous not exactly in his league in the looks department lady to beard for him. He would have picked someone more 'convincing' like Katie Holmes or Miranda Kerr.
Plus, they've been together since before he was famous.

@lionel-mandrake: I've watched the last 4-5 episodes of both shows. Top Chef is a better classic reality show in terms of personalities, conflicts, and so on. It seems to me that the chefs on Next Iron Chef have a much broader skill set. Top Chef - 30 minutes to cook an american-style breakfast. vs. Next Iron Chef - go to some random hole-in-the wall asian restuarant, eat their signature dish, then go into the kitchen and recreate it with no recipe or guidance.

And their ability to come up with inventive dishes is great.

And you've got to love a contestant that confidently admits to lying to the judges faces. #topchef

@Perhaps Not: But that burglarization isn't an inherent result of capitalism, though it may be inevitable under the more virulent strain of American capitalism- i.e. capitalism combined with soft and hard-power hegemony and a lingering sense of manifest destiny. I know that has been the dominant history of capitalism, but just as socialism doesn't necessarily engender oppressive military dictatorships (socialism's dominant history), the ideology shouldn't be defined by it's misuse. A kinder, gentler capitalism- one in which developing nations could actually harness capital and create wealth- would result if property rights across the world were (a)well-defined, (b) well-respected, and (c) enforceable. This is essentially an off-shoot of Hernando De Soto's work, and I think it's compelling.

Capitalism does a great job creating wealth. Current political infrastructures do a crappy job of redistributing that wealth equitably and, in my opinion, humanely. The American public hears something like "redistribution" and freak out, thinking it means socialism. It doesn't. The laissez-faire crowd hear it and cry that it will kill incentives and decrease production. It won't, at least not in the long run. I think there's a happy-medium somewhere that will allow the wealth-creating power of capitalism to run smoothly along a far more equitable distribution method, but it's a question of personal, collective and political will. And that's what drives me to drink. #andrewrosssorkin

Scam-Brokering CEO Dissed His 'Bullshit' Ethics Class

PontiusPirate
03:54 PM

What is most concerning is that this company is headed towards IPO and Pincus has admitted to doing "every horrible thing to get revenue." His tactics (scam revenue) are geared towards getting him the highest possible payday, and these tidbits above only confirm that he doesn't place much value on ethics.

What's just as concerning are what the people around him (his leadership team) are doing to further enable this. His CFO, Mark Vranesh, came from Supportsoft with him. Vranesh's successor and former Finance team at Supportsoft helped them lose a 10.7 million USD class action due to the fact they over-inflated revenues - did this practice start while Vranesh and Pincus were still there?

I'd be highly suspicious of Zynga's revenue statements in the lead up to their IPO. #markpincus

@Stream Of Consciousness: "You must admit..." and "IMO"?

I admit nothing. He made Aliens and the first two Terminator films were good but outside of that, he’s quite hackish. Titanic is a good movie, but still not anything to make me think he’s some auteur that deserves endless praise.

This film looks horrible. #avatar

I think the reasons people like "fuck" and "douchebag" and any curse word, really, are, as you said, the way they roll of the tongue, their supposed shock value, and how they communicate this basic sense of frustration or anger or just plain dislike when eloquence fails us.

In that regard, I don't really see what distinguishes "fuck" or "douchebag" or any other curse words from each other. Maybe "douchebag" offends the ladyfolk's delicate sensibilities (<-- this is sarcasm), but — like most swear words — they're pretty much stripped of any literal meaning when we re-appropriate them into curse words anyway.

In other words, if "douchebag" is empty and meaningless and simply, so is "fuck," etc. If that's the logic by which we judge the usefulness of swear words, aren't they pretty much all "Already Over?"

(That said... Really, Times?)

@NewsBunny: Douche works better, because not only is it easier to say, but it's funnier because it sounds pretty, like a fancy French wine or a lipstick color, rather than a term you reserve for people like Rush Limbaugh.

I don't find it offensive -- but only because there are a lot of male anatomy curses. Like Rush Limbaugh is a Dick, Rush Limbaugh is a Wanker, Rush Limbaugh is a Motherfucker (that one could arguably be used for both sexes but it's most often applied to a guy), and any type of variation of cock+adjective (my fav is cocksmoker...Rush Limbaugh is a cocksmoker). Rush Limbaugh is an enema bag? Hmmmm, let me try it out for a week. #newyorktimes
