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.

• "please mention the ny gay football league bachelor auction."
• "i just read the story about the man shitting in someone's kitchen floor, and no joke, that was my roommate who must have put that up. my roommate first was in denial and thought that some large animal did it, then thought that some guy broke into the apartment just to shit on our kitchen floor, then left without taking anything. my other roommate (sans shitty date) and i were adamant that it was frank. and look who's in the anger phase now? the best part is that he tried to clean it up with our dish rag, gave up, and just left a mess, half in the recycling container and half on our floor. ah, the silver lining is that there's so many jokes to be made about things being better than a shit on the floor."

  • "I came very close to not opening up Jessica's blog because I thought it was some senseless item about Jessica Simpson. Is there any way in the future you could refer to her as 'Jessica C'? I really don't want to miss her stuff."
  • "Why is the douchebag hall of fame logo actually an enema bag?"
  • "Can someone for the love of god please tell me why the media is obsessed with the calorie restriction diet. This week alone it was covered in New York Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times."
  • "As you may remember, I'm the one who works at the little boutique hotel in Phoenix and am almost embarrassed by my gossip blog reading as I am by having had a failed marriage with a Bulgarian immigrant for citizenship. What an asshole. Anyway, I checked in a couple people working for Conde Nast's golf publication a week or so ago. While making small talk, I mentioned how avid a reader of Gawker I am (for what possible reason I thought that was a good idea, we'll never know), and seriously, the conversation came to a pretty sudden halt. Like school bus going 50mph into a stationary object sudden halt."
  • "It's pretty sad that Madonna is now copying others. She used to be such an innovator! But Angelina didn't invent this whole snatchin' 3rd world babies trend either. I seem to recall that Josephine Baker may have adopted like 6 'at risk' babies from around the globe and even given them some totally adorable name like 'the rainbow tribe.' Never mind she had a hysterectomy and couldn't have children of her own, and was practically an orphan herself."
  • "do you know who tao lin is? i would like to send you my poetry book, YOU ARE A LITTLE BIT HAPPIER THAN I AM. i like your editor column on gawker. i have had editor problems."
  • "Enough with the douche bag. The word is not at all funny. It's offensive. Worse yet, you've used it so much it's become a yawn."
  • "Are you guys nuts? Did anyone read the book? There are no penises in Water for Elephants. Even the elephant is female. And Sara Gruen wrote a great book, truly entertaining. Get over it. She's a success, and so are her books."
  • "I don't know about too many penises, but I think the midget carny masturbation scene could have been written differently. Preferably excised. It surprises me to hear that this book was a success; I read it as a favor to a rep but I couldn't come up with something nice to say for a review. I couldn't really come up with anything bad to say, either. In some ways it's the perfect book club book: not intimidating or impressive enough to detract from the spinach dip, yet spicy with whores, drunkenness and cussin'. Oh, and the jerk-off carny get thrown from a train to his death."
  • "Dear Intern Alexis: I really loved 'Reading about Reading'. I miss it so. Please tell me if there is a place to find more of your writing."
  • "Another blog ripped off one of your posts without credit. It's those whiny twerps at The Corner."
  • "did ann curry just say she'd 'cross over'- switch 'teams', if you will- in the celebrity crush department for the likes of halle berry? whhhhhhhhat is she doooooooing, i ask myself seemingly every morning. oh, ann."
  • "stephen mastey is the son of the father who started mastey de paris..."
  • "because i've been rejected as a commenter, i cannot respond to 'omg i know that guy and he's really cool' alannabanana (great job selecting commenters guys!). anyway, i thought you might like to know that mr. langlieb's employer was recently cited for employment discrimination for, among other things, promoting less qualified whites to upper level positions. yeah - like graduating from haverford last May qualifies anyone to be a 'project manager.' hmmmm...."
  • "while i like good stories about embarrassingly egocentric Dolce-types, this whole douchebag etc stuff is getting pretty tedious. Gawker is getting too name-calling (and celebrity-centric) and losing it's more media cleverness and edge, which is what made it well known to begin with. calling someone a douchebag or asshat is just kinda stupid, ultimately. the goal is to be clever-er than the Dolces, not to be like them."
