This account of the launch party for SeattlePI.com, which is the website that used to be a newspaper in Seattle, is so horrifying. For just one thing, it's disturbing to find out that the editor of their site's most popular blog ("by a factor of 10") has a day job! What the fuck! They can't pay him a living wage? (Secondarily, his day job is installing software for a military contractor. Which means he works for Skynet.) Anyway, everything else about this party is so much worse!

Today's headline: "When I smoke crack," Cardiel allegedly told police, "I always take off my pants."
We read the same internets, you and me.

What about Boney the Bloated Cat as the mascot for the media hoLOLcaust?
