    How far can 100K get you in New York City? Is that good? Bad? Good enough?

    I'm not a huge fan of the TMZ stuff but placing the blame on the writer for "the collateral damage to the families" just rings empty.

    The blame lies with the perpetrators, it is their responsibility to think of the implications of their actions, not the reporters/messengers.

    Similarly, the content is to be judged by the readers. If the readers are devouring it, its a problem with our educators, not the writers.

    Deadspin has brought things to light that were previously suppressed and that's a good thing.

    Our family of two lives in Manhattan for much less than that so I think 100K would be plenty. And we eat well, have cable, go out, etc.

    The burnout thing is fairly common to Gawker editors, at least on the main site. They've gone through numerous editors, several of whom said they left because of burnout, the pace, Denton or the fact they couldn't handle basically being assholes all day long. Then again, many have returned, only to leave a second time.

    He posted a video of a girl getting nailed on the bathroom floor?

    I like the site, but I can't defend that.

    It was filmed at the new Cowboys Stadium, which was the sports angle.

    OK, I do vaguely remember that. If I had to take a call like that from a parent, I think I'd be quitting the next day.

    According to the story (which you posted so I don't know how you didn't pick this up), the video was from Bloomington, Ind., and was a follow-up to the Cowboys video. AJ imagined it as a series on bathroom sex. He's a visionary.

    I thought Mizzou was talking about the initial video. My bad. Sorry.

    You mean, *other* than bong hits and popping Adderall?

    Yeah. He even said in the story that he's well aware that dirt on him will likely surface in the future and that he'd take his medicine.

    He's a scumbag. He's no better than Perez Hilton when it comes to utter classlessness and douchebaggery.
