Gawker

I am not a gawker fan (although I do check Deadspin regularly) but this is a really scary prospect where a rich person can basically throw his money at inane lawsuits and shut down a media organization he has a vendetta against.

social media is so strange... from his cousin on FB.

Dear Loved Ones planning on attending Jim's services - Please understand that Jim's dad has severe allergies to anything scented - perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, etc. They constrict his airways and he cannot breathe. We ask that you kindly not wear any perfumes, lotions, hairsprays, or anything scented. We look forward to seeing you as we celebrate the life of my beautiful cousin

inane lawsuits

Interesting. 

I think the punishments were harsh, but I didn't think the case was without merit.

While I find celebrity sex tapes (especially of Hulk Hogan) distasteful, I fully support some trash rag publishing them because they are "news." I find the idea of bankrupting a media entity because they show unflattering footage of a reality TV star really gross and think it opens a Pandora's box.

I'm not bemoaning the loss of Gawker (a trash rag that disgustingly outs homosexuals and lowers the level of public discourse), but we've just basically seen a court-validated approach for the next Peter Thiel to go after (insert publication here) because of their political/editorial view.
