Gawker Media Exposed For What It Is

Published by Tech Spoofs | Filed under Misquoted

A message from recently fired Vimeo Co-founder Jakob Lodwick. Signed with love to Gawker Media’s Nick Denton,

“Gawker’s premise is ‘people are badass‘. It acts as if all humans are inherently amazing. Any achievement is framed on their walls; a dedication to the achiever’s underlying determination. This worldview is directly inline with our city’s best and brightest. Nick, don’t worry, it will be easy to recruit someone better than Emily and Choire; as the months march on, the pool of creative youngsters who are willing to turn themselves into professional artists will grow. If you would like to ratify Gawker’s premise and turn it into something even greater, we should talk. A publication that celebrates excellence like your own could be a big hit in the near future.”

We love our copy editors… Mr. Denton, don’t read too much into this. It doesn’t mean that we like you, like you. It was just too easy for our lazy writing staff to pass up. Special thanks to Jason for being on top of this.
