On These Cars Turn Right! Become a Formula One Fan This Weekend
Uhh, you said "While top-line speeds may indeed have slowed, these cars offered increased traction which in turn increased cornering speeds which ultimately increased overall lap times." You mean decreased, right? Otherwise I could conceivably be the slowest man on the circuit and A MONACO RACE WINNER!

On Sarah Palin Really Likes Flags
I enjoyed the symbolism of setting the speech in the desert in Iraq. Very cagey, Mrs. Palin, very cagey.

On Staff Lunch Talk: What Makes a Good Porn Parody?
I am completely fucking shocked that the actors managed to do the parody so well. Funkhauser is fucking brilliant.

On M.I.A.'s "Born Free" Video: More Faddish Political Pastiche
I think the bigger point that is being made is that redheads aren't very smart. Clearly the ginger community is aware of what is going on, witness the red power poster and the kids throwing rocks at the cops bus, yet the protagonist ginger meekly waited in his apartment for the goon squad to pick him up. He only put up the weakest of fights (which is what you'd expect from a ginger?) Why was he not holed up with an arsenal, you know the crack head would have been able to point him towards some firearms.
And I feel bad about my generalizations above. If any gingers want to hide in my attic they are welcome to. It'd be a good place to work on your memoirs.

Nice reporting.
This is the kind of writing that could make newspapers viable in the long haul.

On Popularity Of Glassing Amongst Drunken British Yobs Shows No Sign Of Abating
They could also consider the same fucking solution every other civilized first world nation on earth has, namely not serving the visably intoxicated. Do I have to think of everything?

On Southern California: Would We Miss It?
Anyone else observed that SoCal is one of the only places on earth where it seems reasonable, in fact required to spend 40 bucks a foot on slate pool decking tiles but then cap the landscaping budget at fifty bucks total so that while sitting at your pool the neighbours can admire you fine choice in outdoor all weather flooring?

On New Seating Chart: Where Your Favorite Gawker Employee Sits
This chart is worthless without the location of the giant urn of used Starbucks grounds from downstairs and amphetamines.

The other salient fact for anyone considering Austin next year is F1 cars are loud. Yes Indy cars are loud. 747's at full throttle are loud. Jackhammers are loud. Metallica live is probably loud (fact unverifiable from personal experience, I hate metal.) F1 cars make all of these seem like a leaf falling in the woods. F1 cars transcend sound and veer into tactile sensation. It screws up electronics. It makes the air shimmer and buzz. It fucks up your ability to think. It is the best thing ever.
See an F1 race.
