Back in the Saddle with Hemorrhoids
"That's standard editorial policy at any reasonable media outlet."
One of the funnier lines I've read in awhile. So THAT is what Lockhart does all day. In any case, it's hard not to read this and take the side of the Misshapes kids. I would say it's a prime example of why Mohney's uptightness and lack of humor got him fired (I do apologize for exposing the former) but Lock was involved too and they both come across as assholes. First, after being the crew-butt of so many jokes, Gawker asks them to do a guest post and then puts restrictions on them? You'd have to be a real dickhead to ask someone you've kicked in the balls weekly to do a favor and then say "if it's not funny we won't run it." That's King Kong ego with a side of fuck you. Second, would it really matter WHAT the Misshapes kids wrote? (Third, Jared Paul Stern.) Jesus fuck, Mohney, climb down - or jump head first - from whatever pussy-stuck-in-a-tree editorial view you have. IT'S A BLOG. If it sucked, all the better! WHO CARES? More ammo to make fun of them. It would have been the most commented thread in history regardless of what they wrote.
Damn fools. (Ha, I dunno, I just love saying that!) Seriously, I kinda what to go to Misshapes now. 99, wear something low cut and Italian to show off the chest hair. We're going in.
