Liners: Consumerist banner exchange?
CNET bought ironicer-than-thou dating site Consumating.
Flickrd: Steve Rubel meets Peter Brady actor Chris Knight and his supermodel wife. Or as our friend DL Byron (who stumbled on this) says, “A-list glomming onto C-list.”
Jack of All Blogs nominates Blogebrity for “Best Designed Worst Content Blog” … in his own miniature award show. Our only opponent in the category is the thoroughly delightful Damn I’m Cute, so I guess Blogebrity wins one award this year.
Nick Denton is taking this “make Consumerist fugly” idea as far as he can.
Defamer punks an Aussie newspaper with news of a Mel Gibson Holocaust Jew-v-Nazi battle scene.
If Tony Pierce blogged for hits, he’d have used the photos that show those girls’ tits.
And now a gratuitous opinion from Nick.
Why do some of us (us being the privileged, educated upper class) have to take pranks and turn them into culture jamming? Can you just … just get a grip? You are not a revolution. You are not space monkeys bringing the world back to square one. You are just clever civilization-vandalists undermining a system you’d do better to co-opt. There is less honor and nobility in your fight than in one with pillows. And that one has better photos.

Doesn’t the photo Nick has (for his profile) look like he got completely trashed and then asked to have his picture taken?

I find it totally wrong and immoral for people to plant fake news stories, impersonate celebrities, or undermine the media in any way.
