Glaring Omissions: When Lisa and Jeanine Were Just Friends
Glaring Omissions reproduces tips received from readers in the last week that weren't covered on Gawker, either by accident (rarely) or design (almost always). Feel free to remark on these items' relative worthiness for coverage and/or relative stupidity. And, as ever, we're open to suggestions for future posts either via email or in the comments below.
• "According to website ranking site Ranking.com, VanityFair.com ranks #71,831 among all websites, just one place ahead of messsycumshots.com. I guess Graydon's site is stickier."
• "I love the fact that the very first image that turns up in a Google Image Search of 'Lisa Santangelo' is this one."
• "Remember the homeless guy who got caught spraying the deli buffet with his urine in a spray bottle? This was like 4 years ago. I no longer partake ... except for Whole Foods. Love their Indian station!"
• "Reuters had a roach attack in the newsroom today ... roaches crawling all over keyboards and mice and mouse pads in the breaking news area of the newsroom."
• "Kirkus shrugged, writer whines."
• "There's a joke here: A child's view of children's books."
• "On Tuesday, the New York Times and Washington Post had two parallel and nonoverlapping takes on vitamin K. Next they will be covering vitamin R (which I definitely get enough of in my diet)."
• "On a visit to a prospective client today, I was greeted by Lifestyles in the office. Paging through it, I noticed many of the stories focused on Jews and Jew-elated jewiness. Back in the office, I visit their website and find it's actually a magazine about ... philanthropy? What is this thing? - a curious jew."
• "Maybe you guys can find the missing post at apartmenttherapy.com that reflected the big 'whoops' in installation of certain very high end cabinets in the apartment of the designers. It sounds like: discount on cabinets for free publicity? posts have comments turned on? comments suggest problems? post removed."
• "Hmmm ... 3 guesses which downtown hotelier this is: 'He was a famous New York hotelier — flagrant with his affairs, drug use, bisexuality, homegrown pornography.'"
• "Have you noticed that Alex Witchel has been drinking a lot lately? Sometimes with hubby Frank, sometimes not. She's the paper's real Ms. Run Amok."
• "How bad are things over at MSNBC when Glenn Beck, who just started his show 4 months ago, is already beating your flagship show? Headline News isn't even a real network. Don't be surprised if Chris Matthews and Dan Abrams hang themselves tonight."
• "This is possibly the most bizarre thing I've seen in the last 3 hours. What were they thinking? 'Eh maybe some bestiality will spice this stupid scene up.' 'I like where you're going with that but lets anthropomorphize extinct flying dinosaurs instead. Then toward the end we'll sneak in a creepy puppet and see if anyone notices.'"
