This image was lost some time after publication, but you can still view it here.

An FYI: We haven't taken the day off—even when the shackle chafes and the ball gag starts to taste like copper, Nick Denton gives no quarter. Our umbilical connection to the internet has just returned after the last couple of hours of "vacation." Regular posting will resume immediately.

While we were waiting for our connection to magically reappear, we got the hairy eyeball from a gang of creepy Scientology drones at the Starbucks and are now fairly certain we're being watched. If the site goes dead for more than three hours today, please call the Kabbalah Centre and inform them that the L. Ron family beat them to the Defamer-whacking punch.
